This has been a "feature" of Project Mayhem III for as long as I can remember. What it does is it goes to Screenshot 2 from Screenshot 1 after exactly 1 minute of playing a song.

Screenshot 1:

Screenshot 2:

I don't know what that is called exactly when it does that. But I've looked in the settings to try and make that take longer before it does that but I don't know where to look or if I can even nchange that. Does anyone know what that is and how I can fix it?

If you don't understand skinning its going to be a fairly difficult thing for you to change but in the home.xml for the type of resolution you are using you need to look at and delete all the visible tags of
<visible>![Player.HasAudio + System.IdleTime(60)]</visible>
you then also need to delete the controls that get displayed after it these are bout at line 162 to 240 in the home.xml

you will also need to open up includes.xml and change
<include name="homebuttonanimation">
<visible allowhiddenfocus="true">![Player.HasAudio + System.IdleTime(60)]</visible>

hope that helps if you tell my what format your in I might be able to help a little better

Oh I didn't know it was going ot be that lengthy but I'll still give it a shot anyways. My current format is: 720x480 NTSC 4:3... is that what you meant by format?

When I go into the NTSC folder in the PMIII folder there's no Home.xml but there is one in the PAL folder... is that normal?

Hope that helps you in helping me better, lol.

yeah you will want to edit the Pal folder

Change it to false? or delete that whole thing?

Ok I think I just made it worse...

...is what happens after 64 seconds.

And, yes, I don't know anything about skinning, sadly.

Yeah I finally, after some trial and error, got it. While deleting stuff and changing things I actually learnt how the skin does certain things and how it works for the most part. It's pretty cool!

Thank you very much Jezz_X!
