Hi,

I seem to be having a problem with the Pause screen continuing to display for about 30 seconds after playback continues. Seems to happen with all types of video sources. Anyone else have this issue?

Thx

Not sure if you saw this updated thread (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231171&page=3), so I will post here as well...

So maybe some pictures would help this thread out a little more. This is Windows 7 x64 running Kodi 15 Final (Clean Install), using the AEON MQ5 Skin that was made to work with Kodi 15 (thanks Scott967).

For the most part, the skin sets a variable based on a Kodi "infolabel" ListItem.Art(poster). The main exceptions are when viewing "years" or "genres".

For musicvideo/concerts, When displaying artist, Kodi returns the artist poster and fanart from the music library. If there is none in the music library you get the default icon. When displaying album, there is no art available. I suppose you could write an addon that would find art, for example a folder.jpg (assuming the source is organized in album folders). When displaying a title, it will display the scanned/scraped poster and fanart. If no poster it will fallback to the icon, which is a screenshot extracted from the video track (if you have that enabled in video settings). If no icon then a default icon image.

Note that the link between musicvideo in video library and the music library was broken in the various Kodi 15 betas, due to a change in how the video library was setup (the musicvideo artist is now part of the "actor_link" table).

Not sure what your saying there, but I have Music added as well, and I have the same artist as listed above (Fall Out Boy), and when viewing the same Menus as above, all the Artwork shows correctly (in Music), but not in Music Videos/Concerts.

So in the Artist View of Music Videos/Concerts it doesn't display the poster or Fanart background, but it does in the Music Artist View.
In the Level 2 of Artist View of Music Videos/Concerts, it doesn't display the Album poster, or the Fanart background, but in the Level 2 of the Music Artist View it does.
In the Level 3 everything is correct in both Music Videos/Concerts and Music. As you can see above, I have all the posters, fanarts, and albums labeled correctly in the Music Video/Concert folder, but all is ignored until you reach Level 3. So why does it work in the final view, and not the first two?

So there seems to be some discrepancy between Music Videos/Concerts and Music. In Level 1 of Music Video/Concert it's asking for some information from Music (Styles/Genres/Moods), yet wont display the Poster or Fanart. Again in Level 2 it's looking from the Music section (Themes/Type/Moods), but won't display Album cover or Fanart.

Also, looking through Artists in Music Videos/Concerts, it appears that some Artists have Posters, but these are all pulled from the Actors library from the Movies section. So I decided to view Artists/Actors in the Main Menu Movies, and guess what, it has the same issues as what I'm seeing in Music Videos/Concerts, except the Actors/Artists Poster is displayed (if you have artwork for them), but no fanart is displayed (because there isn't any). If you dig down to Level 2, it will show all the Movies the Actor/Artist is in (that are in your library), and it will show the Poster for that Movie, and the fanart for it as well.

Just updated osmc to isenguard on rpi2. Updated mq5 to latest isengard version on here.

When im playing a video and i navigate back through the menus they become very jittery moving through them.

This wasnt a problem on helix. Menus flowed smoothly.

Anyone else have this problem or is it only on the rpi2.

Thanks

Hi,

It is possible to create multiple "Favorites" main menus, that each one will show different widgets?
Basically I just want to have 2 custom menus with some custom widgets (just links to stuff from my favorites) instead of the standard sub-menu..

thanks

**Wanilton** · 2015-08-08, 00:50

@omriamos, use my menu 1 and my menu 2, go to settings, submenu customize main menu, in the first empty, replace with my menu 1, rename title if necessary, press left arrow for open submenu area, now replace any empty with specific video or audio addons, done.

Thanks, but isn't this the same as replacing any of the other unused (for me) main menu items? the submenu will be in a small text box below the menu.. I want the links to show like widgets, in the same way the Favorites widgets a shown - with large icons above the main menu.

Right now I just use the Favorites main menu with its widgets - but I want to split this into 2 separate lists (that will look the same - sub-menu items as big widgets)..

EDIT:
Like this: (below the main menu)

EDIT 2:
OK, if it's the same as in MQ6 than "my menu 1" and "my menu 2" really should work as I asked:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2065128
I will try it out... thanks

Due to popular demand, I have been working on including the MOD lowlist view from user Nici discussed here:
217195 (thread)

This will be called "Mid List" and is available for music and video.

I see the "fake disk" in MQ6. I guess nicer than the default disc.
