#1
Stable version (3.4.x) of the Titan skin, available in official Kodi repository.

It all begun as a port from the Titan skin from MediaPortal to Kodi but the skin has grown out to a unique user experience with lot's of features!

This skin is available in the official Kodi repository.


Installation instructions:
1. In Kodi, go to Settings --> Appearance --> Skin
2. Press the "Get more" button
3. Select Titan and hit install
4. Default installation now complete and you can sit back and enjoy :-)

TIP: The skin is highly customizable. Go to Settings --> Skin Settings

Skin theme
The skin's default theme is my own more modern approach of the Titan skin. If you like the classic MediaPortal style better, you can change the theme of the skin to "classic". Open up settings --> Appearance --> Under skin you have the option to select the theme.

Touchscreen support
The skin is fully touchscreen compliant, actually it even has seperate controls and code to make life easier navigating on a touch device.
You have to enable the "touch mode" of the skin in the skin settings.

Bug reports and feature requests
Feel free to post a message on this thread if you run into any issues with the skin or if you have any questions. I'll be glad to assist. If you have a feature you would like to see included, please ask on the feature requests thread!


If you like this skin and you feel that you would like to help out a little bit then you can buy me a beer :-)

Important note for users who use the integration options for Netflix, MediaBrowser or Plex in the skin:

The "skin mode" feature has been replaced by the "smart shortcuts" feature. The reason for this is because smart shortcuts are more future proof, it saves a lot of skin code and so the skin can be better maintained and it has more speed/stability.

If you enable "smart shortcuts" for a supported addon in the skin settings there will no tiles be added automatically to your home menu. You must go to "configure shortcuts" and select the smart shortcuts to add to the main menu.

Note to users who still use the "Mediabrowser/xbmc3c" addon: This addon has been replaced with the new Emby addon for Kodi, see www.emby.media. Support for the legacy xbmb3c addon is still in the skin within the smart shortcuts but will be removed in the next stable release.

This 3.4 update messed up my main menu screen. My shortcuts are missing images and I can't see the settings button at the bottom. How can I revert back?

Strange... That shouldn't happen at all. Are you using any special shortcuts or something that are now missing images? You could consider a reset to default settings in the skinsettings. The shortcuts are provided by the skinshortcuts script and there were no changes in that area

You want to refresh or "check for updates" when you are in the REPOSITORY area.

I tried x2 just in the addon area like a dope.

When in the repo area left arrow to see the menu.
I think it is left arrow, I was using my remote to do it.

You almost need a 4 year degree in something to get through all of the custom options there are now.
Geeze...........

Bravo author, Bravo!
Nice work.

I love it.

Could you try to reset the skin to defaults please. You can make a backup first to revert to your current settings. You can find these settings in skin settings, advanced.

If it still fails after a fresh start, would it be possible to send me your skinbackup file?
