does this skin allow video intro?? if so where I look to change.?

[pacoma2610]

Do you speak of a Intro before start a movie or a splash before starts Kodi?

[yabel]

splash screen on boot up of kodi

[pacoma2610]

Add this to the home.xml (third line)
<onload condition="Window.Previous(startup)">XBMC.PlayMedia(special://skin/Splash/name of your splashvideo)</onload>

Made a Folder into the skinfolder named Splash

Put into the folder Splash your splashvideo

Add this to your advancedsettings.xml
<splash>false</splash>

Worked like a charm TYVM

Now that My build is at a point of trying to add something extra.. what are some good widgets or plugins that I should add to this ?

[pacoma2610]

to show and load artworks (Logos, Landscapes, Extrathumbs, Extrafanarts.), I recommend: This Plugins ArtworkDownloader http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...ht=artwork , MovieSetArtworkAutomator http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...ht=artwork
to experience a cinema feeling: Home Cinema Experience http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...+cinema+ex

All this Addons you found in the official kodi repository

Others you find here, http://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=27

@yabel... all these addons are parts of the MQ5 package... I did'nt have to to a thing to get films/series widgets above the menu bar.

To be a little more clear, when you install MQ5, it contains a list of needed addons. Kodi addon manager will pull all these addons from the Kodi repository and install them. Only after they are all installed does it finish installing MQ5. That's why I recommend that when you see a popup "do you want to switch skin now" click "no", let everything finish, and then use settings/appearance to select MQ5 and switch to it. The one thing that is not in the Kodi repository is the addon "script.skin.info.service" which is used for displaying art and info on movie sets/collections. You need to get that from the author's github site.

Thanks for info scott.. and Thx fir maintaining skin. Just trying to add something to my next update on my build.

Thanks so much for all the work on this Mod.

I was running MQ previously on XBMC Gotham. I now have a new PC, with a completely fresh install of Kodi Helix stable.
However, I have maintained the same file structure, drive letters, video sources etc on my new installation.

Therefore, would I be able to copy over any xmls to MQ's addon installation folder to the new installation in order to maintain my previous configuration?

Or would I better be off customising MQ again from scratch?

Thanks so much if anybody can advise me on this.
