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 :-)

BETA version of the Titan skin.

All new features and bugfixes are done in the beta version of the skin. Offcourse any essential bugfixes will be patched directly on the stable version if needed. Once the beta has been proved stable by users, I will push out a release to the stable repo. Usually I publish a new stable version every 1 or 2 months.

The beta version has a different ID. This means that you can have both the stable version and the beta version installed at the same time on your system. This will allow you to checkout a new feature in the beta and then switch back to the stable version.

The beta version can contain bugs while features are beiing added. I advice you not to run it on your production/family mediacenters. Usage of the beta version at your own risk ;-)

How to install the beta version?

The beta is hosted in the Emby repository, because of my involvement in the Emby project.You need to install that repository and select the beta skin.

1) Download the zipfile for the Emby repository --> http://www.mb3admin.com/downloads/addons...emby.kodi/

2) In Kodi, go to settings --> Add-ons --> Install from zipfile --> select the downloaded zip.

3) After installing the repo, it will be listed at the available repo locations in Kodi. Note that sometimes it can take a while before the repo actually lists any content because Kodi updates the content of the repo in the background. To speed up this process you can either restart Kodi or press the "Check for updates" button in the left sidebar menu.

4) While still in Kodi-settings-addons, Go to "Install from repository". Select the "Kodi Emby beta addons" repository.

5) Select the skin section. Select the Titan BETA skin.

If I still have kodi 14.2, the new beta would not work?

Nope, 3.4.0 is the latest version for Helix (besides any bugfixing that need to happen).

And what about all the settings? Are they will be saved?

Because you said that the previous beta (3.3.36/3.4) should be uninstalled

EDIT: By the way on kodi download page there is only Kodi 15.0 (there is no 15.1). Is it OK?

EDIT2: I still see the 3.3.36 OLD VERSION. How can I "force refresh" in kodi 15? This option disappeared (also the "check for updates" of a specific repo)

1. You can use the skin's backup feature to exchange your settings between various versions of the skin.

2. Kodi 15.1 will be released soon. It has a few fixes that the skin benefits from. For now 15.0 will be fine.

3. In Isengard the "force refresh" button has been replaced by the "check for updates" button in the left sideblade menu.

1. I think you need to mention it before people will uninstall the previous version.

3. I don't think that "check for updates" which go over all the repos are working as "Force Refresh", but I already did that and I still didn't see the new Beta.
Is there any new repo since previous version?

Edit: Now it shown. But I have failure when try to install. Should I must uninstall the previous version or can I just update?
(I'm with Kodi 15.0)

It should now install fine, issue has been resolved. You can remove the old version.. This new beta has a different ID.

BTW: "The check for updates" is an all-in one refresh, it will refresh all repos and check for updates within.

This is the reason why I'm getting "Install failed", the previous beta cannot be updated to the new version?
I must remove the previous in order to install the new one?

EDIT: Even after uninstall the old Beta I still getting "Install failed"

[User 224999]

Does the beta install now ?

[l4v4l4mp3]

Seems like the Download link for Repo is offline :/

I just corrected the link. The repo however is still not updating so I'll contact the hosting guys.

[burekas]

Yes. I just refresh it with the "Check for updates", then 3.5.2 is shown up.
The installation is OK.

Not working for me, I have installed a new clean version of Kodi 16 and the 1.0.4 Repo but still unable to install the Titan (beta) neither via Repo, nor manual

Hi I was on the latest stable release for a while and just switched to the Beta again to test (3.5.2) and I seem to lose the channel logos from the EPG. If I switch back to 3.4.1 again they re-appear. Is this a known issue
