Display Movie Information Before Playing Movie/Episode
Description: Clicking on a movie/TV episode on the home screen widgets or video navigation displays the movie's/TV episode's information screen instead of directly jumping into playing the video file. Not sure about others but I like to view an episode's/movie's information before jumping directly into playing it
Hopefully this would be a useful additional feature for others as much as it would be for me, even if it were to be an option that we could enable in the skin settings. Posted this suggestion in the
v3.5 thread but I remember you said it was on the bottom of your priorities.
e.g. clicking on this episode in the home screen will load up the episode's information and I can instantly click play from there if I wish to proceed.
Cheers!
Dependencies: No additional add-ons required.
1) Air date instead of year for Episodes in Landscape and Video info
Description: If the user uses Landscape view for Episodes, air date is not shown at any point. Airdate is often more useful than just Year for Episodes since Episodes can come in several times a week. Here are some screens from the mod I made.
Dependencies: None.
2) Ability to customise sub-menus
Description: There has been a lot of requests for full custom sections, which is debatable how well that would fit with the skin (I see both sides of the argument). However, being able to, at the very least, customise the sub-menus within the current sections would be very much welcome by many. The ones available by default might be useful for some, but not for others since we all use our systems differently. Yes it's easy to edit the code manually, but this would be an already awesome skin that extra bit awesome. Here is a screenshot of my sub menu for example which you can see is quite different (I have "Categories" for example that links to Actor / Director / etc so no need to have them all separately).
Dependencies: None.
3) Display playlist name in views
Description: When you select a playlist, in the video view it just says "Video Playlist" at the top. Would be useful if it said the name of the playlist. Couple of mockups - I prefer the first since having it say "Video Playlist" may be a bit redundant since you have the playlist icon and it takes up space. I'm sure mockup 2 would be truncated in reality.
Dependencies: None.
And +1 for Hustler's suggestion as well. If I think of others, I'll add more
Thanks as always Piers.
I'll edit the first post to include suggestions that will be, or are most likely to be, added to v4.
Please remember, the more features requested, the longer the first public alpha will take to release

Of course
Totally appreciate that. I've made the mod for #1 and can probably do #3. Happy to submit a pull request for those if you like (if I can figure out github
)

.. Next step could be a tile with "TV Programm Suggestion". EPG does generally submit Pictures ... let me figure out how to do this ..
Not all EPG providers do provide pictures and not all backends fully support them. If the skin will integrate a EPG picture feature it should be configurable. I prefer a text only view over a text + placeholder image if no EPG picture was delivered.

1) -
2) The search glass only appears if the Global Search add-on is enabled
3) Possibly, I'm open to the idea but only after the v4 is fully Kodi 15.x compliant
4) Considering the option
5) It's already there, we've had this discussion. Since I don't use the script what else is there to add? Are menus or options missing? I tested it by installing the script, adding a few intro videos and then pressing play on a movie - worked fine.

About 1), what do you mean with "-"? Its already in progress? and it will be added?
3) cool !
4) also cool
5) well, normally you can chose to play the movie as normal "play button" or play the movie using cinema experience "experience button"
If you could add these 2 "buttons" to the infoscreen when you press "i"?
it would have it

By '-' I mean it's not being considered.
And it's a dual-use button for the Cinema Experience button, you want another button that does exactly the same thing as the current button? Why?
Ah pity you wont even consider it. Is there a reason for that?
Yes dual button. Why, so we can easily chose play normally or by use cinema experience
