StreamedMP
Streamed MP is a port of Team Razorfishes skin Mediastream created for XBMC, over to the popular open source HTPC Application MediaPortal. StreamedMP is a close port, however there are some new views/layouts included with the skin that will keep the fanart fans happy. This skin has also been designed with ease of use in mind, with a custom menu generator included to make creating menus suited to your setup extremely easy. All of this is wrapped up in a nice installer that installs the latest stable version of several plugins including the the two very popular plugins MP TV-Series and Moving-Pictures.
====
* Full support for latest version of Trakt plugin v6.0.1 (lots of updates). The new version requires users to authorise the plugin to use your account so be sure to allow this from trakt settings;
* Updated MediaInfo icon support;
* Added trakt style rating/watched icons in TVSeries / MovingPictures. Can switch back to old style from Settings/Misc;
* Added season ratings to tvseries season views, these can only be seen if trakt community ratings are imported from TVSeries configuration;
* Updated all resources to use GitHub URL instead of Google Code, downloads of weather icons and backgrounds should work again. Patches can also be submitted again;
* Removed TV Logos from the installation package, users can use the Logo Manager plugin as the recommended alternative.

Good work.
In no particular order:
It looks great, especially configured with fanart
Once configured to taste it is very easy to navigate
Menu configuration is extremely powerful
Upgrade notifications are automatic and it's easy to upgrade from within MP
The StreamedMP team are very very quick to release fixes and it's clear that the skin is extremely well supported
works fine with my 4:3 HDready beamer
For MovingPictures fans it works perfectly straight out of the box, if you use MyFilms it takes just a tiny bit more work to tune, but hopefully there is integration with MyFilms fanart, and latest movies added coming in a future version.
Best skin I've found to date, very happy!
Apart from the beautiful look, the automated updated function is the best I've seen so far. From inside the settings menu in MediaPortal itself, updates for the skin an the most important plugins are installed automatically. So no need to get out of MediaPortal to install updates.
The design options dialogue might be a bit overwhelming for starters, but it is definitely worth the time to play around with.
Keep up the good work, it's an excellent skin!
I have been using it for more than 6 months and upgrading, installing and using has never been more beautiful and smooth as this skin.
The best out there, compliments to the developer(s)!
Great work.
THX for this Work.
I must admit this is one of the most complete, most readable, most configurable & most beautiful skin I've seen.
Very good job, guys !
BIG GREAT WORK GUYS 5 Stars from me
Keep up the great work!
I have been a fan for over 18 months and will continue to use this package until... well forever :)
Only on the home page I find problems in selecting using the mouse.
I hope it will be fixed in the coming release.
Not only does the StreamedMP skin make MP look like a high class media center, it also has great integration with My TV Series and other must have plugins.
The only thing I could wish for is to have StreamedMP (and associated plugins) become part of the core MediaPortal release.
In my opinion this Skin should be shipped with the MediaPortal package. That would be very helpful for beginners
Unless you are certain this is the only skin you will ever want to use, I personally, would not risk installing it.

The installer has checkboxes for each plugin/extension and is completely optional for user to install. There is also an Uninstaller for the skin.
It is customizable in many ways (different layouts, home menu editor), comes with the most used must-have plugins (TV Series, Moving Pictures) and offers a comfortable update function inside the MediaPortal GUI.
Totally recommended!
