It's wiki time!

During the last days I have been adding a few quite important new documents to our wiki .

Video Zoom Modes

MediaPortal offers quite many options to manipulate the displayed video in order to fit your screen.
But how some of them are supposed to work, remained a mystery to many users.

I have now created a small page in the wiki which explains how each view mode is working.

Getting your skin 1.0.1 compatible

From time to time, it is necessary to make changes to our code, which also demand that skinfiles get changed to maintain functionality.

These changes also have to be done in all community skins.

Now tracking these changes always was a nightmare challenge for our community skinners.

In order to make life easier for our community skinners, I have now forced asked our developers to collect every change since 1.0 release, which I will add to a page in the wiki .

So, if you want to get your skin 1.0.1 compatible you only have to monitor this wiki page for updates.

Monitoring a page in the wiki is very easy. All you have to do is click the subscribe link at the page .
You will then get an e-mail notification, as soon as a change is made.

You can also access this list of skinchanges from the wiki main page .
Just look at "MediaPortal 1 -> SkinDesigners Guide "

At the end of this blog entry I would like to remind everyone that the wiki is "OpenSource" as well.

So if you find a link which ends up on a empty page, or you find a typo, or  outdated info and you know what to write in there then please press the "edit" button.

Everyone is able to contribute to the MediaPortal Project!
