If you experience stuttering skin pages/ high CPU usage/ lagging mouse, this is possibly because you're out of video/GPU memory.
This fix works with all skins.
Delete all files starting with "Packedgfx" in the used skinfolder in CACHE:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache\UsedSkinFolder.
Vista: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache\UsedSkinFolder.
Unpack the files from my zip to the same folder. Restart MP.
If the Cache folder is empty, you will have to run MP once before you can do the fix.
If you change skin, you will have to redo the fix for the new skin in cache.
This fix is very simple and only makes sure that no packed textures are used so that video memory is left as high as possible. The packed textures are meant to make MP start faster but I have not seen any difference in speed, with or without. Only a lot less memory. Using this fix, you will have a smooth running MP with as much video memory left as possible.
If you want to remove the fix, all you have to do is delete the previously mentioned cache folder and restart MP.
Ver. 3: Volumebar works now
Ver. 4 Was deleted when MP was newer. Fixed with a new filedate.
