ET Standard View Skins V1.0

N.B. Whilst these skins can be used in earlier versions of MC some of the features mentioned below will only work in MC 30.0.34 or higher!
ET Skins are a family of Lightweight Skins available in 6 colour themes and 2 variants:-
ET Blue Card I & II
ET Gold Card I & II
ET Grey Card I & II
ET Nite n Day I & II
ET Platinum Jubilee I & II
ET Silver Card I & II

The ET xxxxx I variants use Customised small (64x64) icons and large ViewHeader (256x256) icons.
The ET xxxxx II variants use Standard small (64x64) icons and large ViewHeader (256x256) icons.

They are the First Skins to:-
Use a Smaller/Restructured Template/Layout (skin.xml file) which contains extensive comments/notes to make it easier for individual users/skin creators to customise them,
Make fuller use of the changes made to the MC Skinning Engine that give the Skin Creator greater control over how their skin looks,
The Modern & Legacy Tag Windows use the same Tag/Field Name & Content Background & Text Colours,
The Red Surround that appears when editing a Tag/Field in the Tag Windows has been replaced by one that uses the Tag Windows Background Colour,
They don't use Faded Text in places like the Search Bars,
They all use a customised Spotlight image/icon and not the Standard one,
They use the Platforms Minimize & Restore Window Buttons and not the Left and Down Arrowhead icons/used used by a lot of skins to Expand/Collapse Categories/Sections in the Tree and Modern Tag Window,
Plus the Platforms Close Window Button in the Action Window and Tag Windows,
On the Win & Linux Platforms they use the Square Buttons that appear in the top right hand corner of every window/page,
on the Mac Platform they use the Round Buttons that appear in the top left hand corner of every window/page,
The ET xxxxxx I Variants use customised versions of all the small (64x64) icons/images currently in use, the ones seen in the Tree, Toolbars and various Forms/Windows and all the large (256x256) ViewHeader icons/images, the ones seen on the "Drives & Devices", "Services & Plug-ins" Pages/Views and several other Pages/Views
The ET Nite n Day Skins are the first ones created by somebody other than JRiver that Transition between Day Time (Lighter) and Night Time (Darker) Modes.


-------------------------------------------------------------------
Where are they?

Unlike the earlier versions of the Plugins which were on the JRiver Media Center Accessories Page the ET TrackInfo Plugins V3.0 and ET Standard View Skins V1.0 are in the Camelot SuperStore - https://englishtiger.uk/index.html

On every page that allows you to Download a Skin or TrackInfo Plugin you will see options/buttons in the Left Panel that allow you to download the Skin/Plugin as a xxxx.mjp file or as a xxxx.zip file.

xxxx.mjp files are used as Triggers for the MC Package Installer
Once they are downloaded you simply Run/Open them to install the relevant Skin or TrackInfo Plugin.

xxxx.zip files are Compressed Folders/Files that have to be Extracted/Unpacked to make them usable
Once they are downloaded you have to Extract/Unpack the Folders/Files they contain.
*.zip files are mainly used when the user wants/has to install a Skin or TrackInfo Plugin Manually,
or by Users who want to Modify/Customise the Skin/Plugin before installing it,
or by Users who have Modified/Customised a Previous Version snd want to copy those changes to the new version before installing it.

Thanks to a bit of Merlin's Magic you can Download "Skin", "TrackInfo" and "Skin + TrackInfo" Bundles as xxxx.mjp and xxxx.zip files
Prior to the release of MC30.0.47 the MC Package Installer could only Install one Skin or Plugin each time it is run/used.

So there are 2 types of bundles available:-
Bundle(s) for MC30.0.47 or Higher as a single *.mjp file,
Bundle(s) for Earlier Versions of MC as a set of *.mjp files inside a single *.zip file.

If you are running MC30.0.47 or higher running/opening the downloaded *.mjp file will result in every Skin and/or TrackInfo Plugin in the Bundle being installed.
For earlier versions unpacking the downloaded *.zip file will result in mjp files for every Skin and/or TrackInfo Plugin, in the Bundle being placed in the same folder.
You then have to run/open every *.mjp, one by one, to install the Skins and/or TrackInfo Plugins in the Bundle.

Thanks, ET!

Try posting an mjp file here.  If MC is installed, MC should open it because MC owns the filetype.

[EnglishTiger]

Jim - On both the Win and Mac Platforms MC does recognize the MJP Files and  actions them.

However, since they are in XML file format, to be able to download them I'm having to put them inside a zip file to stop the Internet from Opening them instead of Downloading them.

It looks like Marko encountered the same problem - the download or some of his  skins are also a .mjp file inside a .zip file

[bob]

Whatever is serving .mjp files needs this in it's mime.types

application/x-mediajukebox-mjp  mjp

That will trigger MC to use the PackageInstaller.

The PackageInstaller really should be updated to accept multiple install entries.

[EnglishTiger]

Bob where do I set the mime types?

I've looked everywhere on my website and can't find out anywhere I can set mime.types

[bob]

Bob where do I set the mime types?

I've looked everywhere on my website and can't find out anywhere I can set mime.types

Where is your website stored?
On a typical linux server you add the line to /etc/mime.types.
On a S3 server for example you need to do it through the control panel IIRC.

[zybex]

Looks like you're hosted on one.com - if there's no option to add a custom MIME type in their control panel you can try adding a .htaccess file with:
AddType application/x-mediajukebox-mjp mjp

That only works if One.com allows it in their apache.conf though. So if it doesn't work you'll have to contact their tech support and ask them to add "AllowOverride FileInfo" to your conf, or to add the mapping directly.

[EnglishTiger]

zybex got it right one.com is where my website is hosted and it looks like I'm going to have to contact them as I can't find anything on the Control Panel that allows me to do what you and zybex suggested.

Just out of curiosity does that change mean that the mjp files will become downloadable or does it do something eles?

[zybex]

Check if there's a file called ".htaccess" at the root of your site. If there is, get it, add that line to it, and upload it again. If not, create a new text file with that name and with that single line and upload it (not ".htaccess.txt", it starts with a dot and has no other extension, all lowercase).

[EnglishTiger]

Thank zybex I'll give that a try

It complements the association that is setup in the OS on MC installation. MC assigns that mimetype system wide to its packageinstaller.

Thanks zybex - placing that ".htaccess" file in the site root now means that MJP Files get downloaded and not executed

Trackinfos on Mac Ventura will be fixed in build 30.0.49
