testing MrMC 3.1.0

Great work I really like the new skin
Are still various little things like, the display Dolby Digital, etc. shown below?
I always liked it very much.
What is also missing is the display of the RSS feed.
I also wish to adjust the font size and the background image.

Media info is still there, RSS works fine here... not sure why you are not seeing it... anyone else missing rss?

We are looking for a different background, any suggestions are welcome.

I wrote up some stuff then the forums kept telling me to contact support and I couldn't post it... Here's what I can remember...

WOOOO NEW SKIN WOOOOO!!!! THANKS FOR THE WORK!!!!!

It would be nice if the Recently Added/Unwatched on the main display for Movies/TV Shows had a bold font to help readability.

The media overlay while playing a video is nice.

Only having a list view for Movies/TV Shows is meh. I like the posters, and a list view on iOS is always a lot harder to navigate through.

Media info tags aren't showing up after a scan for videos until after I play the video.

The profile selector at the beginning (as well as the service selection) screen is nice.

No post view for Movies/TV Shows is meh. (I know I already said it, but it can't be said enough)

Background that is random background art would be nice, so for like movies it would just randomly show the background for one of my movies.

I don't have a problem with RSS, but the media info doesn't show up until after I play something.

This is exactly what I mean.
Otherwise you could see the info also for TV channels.

Add: The TV section won't go away, even when deselected in the skin settings and it not being enabled in the settings.

I like the clean look of the new skin! Some feedback after using it for 5 minutes... (apologies for being picky but I'm a graphic designer)

- Live TV won't go away, already mentioned here
- I'm not a fan of black and red. I'd love to see another color option.
- I agree the background image is 80's looking. I couldn't find the setting to pick my own which I had done in the old skin
- The new font is nice, I'd love to see if you could use the default tvOS font which is even easier to read.
- In some places the fonts are too small, like in settings, resume play, or the sidebar (where you find view options). The old skin let you choose a bigger option.
- I'd prefer to have my TV Shows and Movies displayed by thumbnail and not in a list with the artwork to the side. Could the view option be added?
- When you scroll through each section (TV Shows, Movies etc) some sections show Recently added on the right but it doesn't take advantage of the whole space. Instead it's one row and you have to keep scrolling to the right as there are more thumbnails off-screen. Could they not fill the space by making more rows instead?
- The Media fanart for background option in Skin settings is not kept. I have it turned off but everywhere I go it's turned on.
- Is it possible to utilize the area to the right of each section more completely? (This is where TV Shows and Movies will show recently added). For instance:
• Media Sources / Settings section - when you scroll to them the right area is completely blank. Could that area contain the Media Sources / Settings instead of having to click to open it in a new screen?
• TV Shows / Movies - Right now the right area only contains Recently Added. I'd love to see another row that has "In Progress", shows you haven't finished watching yet.
• TV Shows / Movies - similar to what I said above with Media Sources / Settings, is it possible to have the section actually on the right without having to click to open a new screen?

I just want to say that we have fiddled with the new skin this evening and so far have no comments that haven't already been mentioned.

But, there is more to test yet...

I have nothing to add. For now ...

Some additions...

- I'd like to see a quick way to update the library from the home screen. Recently added items are right there, so it doesn't make sense to have to go into TV Shows to access the Update action and then have to go back to the main screen to access Recents
- I think the arrow on the left side of the screen (that shows you can go back) is in the wrong spot. It's right next to an item in the list and looks like it has to do with that particular item. Perhaps the back arrow should be at the top next to the location name.

BUG - I just updated my library to add a new episode of "Whose Line is it Anyway?" and it added the episode - it shows up in recently added - but the entire show disappeared from the TV Show list right in front of my eyes. Doesn't seem to be skin related.
