Thought I'd post this here to let Xbox-Sceners know, I will be releasing a updated version of "The Classic" PMIII.

I call it PM3.5.

It was influenced, of course, by PMIII............ and MediaStream.

It has all the PMIII stability, with some PM3.HD views (Coverflow and FanArt).

PM3.HD and MediaStream inspired looks. Recently Added and Library Info displayed on the Home Screen.

Codec Flagging ( Codec Flagging only works if used on HTPC, unless you have the "Patched" Xbox Build.......Noted: "Patched" Build is a tester build and may have bugs)

Release date is just around the corner, but here are screens of the Home Menu.

The were taken from my Xbox Build.......






These are the 2 new views.

They were taken from a PC build.........









Hope you enjoy!

Give me some feedback.....lemme know what you think!

Looks awesome. I tried PM3HD and didnt like it after I used it a while so this looks like what I was lookin for.

Coverflow!!

Wow, pretty nice so far. Looking forward to it's release.

Thanks djdafreund.

You always have kind words when it comes to a project I post. How things been going with you and with your "baby".......Back-Row? I've not been regular here in awhile, now. Spending time at XBMC.org. Are you over there too? If you are, find me......I got the same name, just spelled differently.

Going good here, nice to see ya again too. Back Row is going well, it's mostly Sharpe's baby, i just do graphic's, but mostly he's been working a lot on it. I can't wait to see this one, it's looking pretty sharp so far buddy. Great job!!! You always do though. I'm also at XBMC.org too, yeah, and i will hit you up sometime for sure. Hope things are going good for ya, and life is good i hope. Talk to ya soon, keep up the nice job!!

Nice work fourtwentysmiles - good to see you skinning mate!

Like djdafreund says- keep it up and all the best

Hello Sharpe!! Glad you like it. I should be releasing around the first week of next month, so hopefully I don't run into anymore issues.

Looks elite!

Still excited about this! So many nice touches to it.

Wow very nice skin, the new views look awesome cant wait for the release.

Can we see more screens please please!

Not trying to hurry you but I really want to see more if you can.


Thanks!


ps. one thing I like about it is no huge XBMC logo on it. And the pm logo looks sick. Almost like a faded label.

Nice looking skin,how will it be on memory useage?

Sorry, no new screens yet......been kinda busy as of late. Still hoping for a release the first week of Sept.

As for RAM usage.........

This version of PMIII will run just as good as the original. It hasn't gave me any issues through development, and works surprisingly good with the native flagging and auto-generated thumbs. I am positive that people will like this when it is finished.

Thanks!

OK........

You people deserve an update, but don't expect good news.

I am VERY sorry to say that PM3.5 has been put off, with no release in sight. I have had a run of VERY VERY terrible luck for the last 2-3 weeks. I am not ashamed to say what those things are, and I hope you all understand.

Me and my beautiful wife of 6 years are in the middle of a very heated situation, in which we are going to have to decide if we are going to seperate..........or divorce. This is a very trying time in my life, and I am sorry to put this project on hold but my personal life begs to be more important than Xbox, XBMC, skinning, or posting. I have been absent from the forums at XBMC.org and may not be back here for some time. I WILL be asking a friend, over at XBMC.org, if he would like to take the helm and finish this, so the public can get their hands on it.

Again.......I am sorry and hopefully these issues will become resolved and I will be able to continue my friendships both here and at XBMC.org

Ehh, screw the skin buddy, that SAD news is WAAAY more important then a freakin skin. I am VERY sad to hear that. One of the worst things a person can go through. My prayers are with ya that you guys decide to work it out. SERIOUSLY!! And yes, nothing to be ashamed of. Hopefully things will cool off and she'll realize the importance of not giving up on a marriage, let alone within 5 years. If she said "YES" she loved you enough to want to stay with you forever (as the promise goes) and will hopefully consider that before giving up. That's why the polls show a 56% failure, because people get too spoiled and don't work as hard to get through things, or making things work. They take the easy way out. Nothing is perfect when your factoring in 'LIFE'. Hang in there. Man, i hope to God you didn't 'venture' someone else, that's a very hard thing to get through. Don't tell me, but hopefully it's not part of the reason.
Hopefully you will still be around to chat. I am more active in the XBMC threads then before and added you in my friends list. I am trying hard to get a Back-Row thread, and someone that's been around less then how long Back-Row itself has been around is not being too kind, treating it like a WIP newbie skin with not much popularity around it. How 'wrong' can ya get?? Considering it's a lot better then a few of the skins ALREADY there. And been around much less YEARS even then Back-Row. Anyway, your one that can appreciate hard work Sharpe has ALWAYS and continues putting into it. And graphics i make also for it. It's still honestly mine and all my friends favorite skin to date still. Anyway, you don't need to worry about this skin, hopefully you can get someone to finish it for sure, but if not, give your sources to someone you trust to hopefully finish the rest and keep it updated as more skinning functions get added to XBMC in time. Feel free to pm me, in either site's forums. I'm here for ya if you need.

Hope things work out for you and thanks for the update!

You'll be in our prayers as well 420....hang in there!

So who is the guy working on it? Just wondered if he's going to release it. Thanks!

UPDATE


Things are starting to become normal again. After weeks of sorting out real life, the wife and I are beginning to see things eye to eye. We have also been in a heated legal issue with a former landlord and a girl who lived next door to us. ( When life hits......it hits HARD.......and has a mean right, left, high kick combo).

I am happy to say I don't think I am losing my wife. I have also relocated to a new town, and am looking for work (again). As soon as things are stable........I am back to work on PM3.5.

Hope this hasn't put anyone off of this project........I still think this is the skin for xbox users.

420.......Smiling again.

OH Yeah!!!!!!! After 21 years as a smoker, I am proud to say that I have now quit. No cigarettes in over a week and no desire to start back.

Any others who may want to quit, PM me and I'll tell you what I done. I'm not selling anything and I get no "kick backs".......I just wanna share the secret I used.

Thanks for the update and congrats on making amends!

I usually try to quit about every 4 months and I quit for about a month at a time. Then get pissed at the GF or something and go back to it. A month seems to be my "fuck it" point.


Im trying again in two weeks as our hospital is becoming smoke free. And being 6$ a pack here, its a good time lol.



Thanks again.
