DERP!!! I'm an idiot. I had clear cases turned on. Set it to default and it looks the way I had it before.

Mike with regards to CinemaVision would it be possible to have a toggle option so when the default play button is pressed this launches CinemaVision everytime?

Not too sure how much coding would be involved.

Is there a way to choose art for the movies library?? I see that it's possible for TV Shows library, I want to switch some of my logos, banners and disc art that I pulled from medialelch.

Also, somehow someway banner wall has become my default view for my movies library. Now no matter what view I switch to it goes back to banner wall. It wasn't always like that for me. How do I switch and maintain the one I prefer?? Or get back to the default/original way it was??

Mike when you ned help testing or so with your skin for Jarvis i use it now let me know !!

Yes, please. Based upon history with CE, the only time my family watched trailers/bumpers was when I started the movie. Otherwise, they want to press play and let the system take over. If they have to select CV from the information screen, they will likely never use CV.

Next-best scenario - we push the CV folks for a command to launch directly, but you add it to the context menu (the Rapier skin does this), but make it configurable, so the CV option is at the top, simply requiring the user to push enter 2x to launch a movie, w/o looking at a menu and scrolling down.

How did you get the fanart wallpaper for artists to work for your music?

I was able to download all the information using MediaElch for my artist including fanart wallpapers but the only thing appears is the artist or album but not the fanart background. I know there is an option in the skin settings where you can put all the artist fanart's but how do you name the files or make it work? Do you put the artist name as the filename?

Thank you in advance.

Have you added your music to the library?
The default is to show your artist fanart and then you could also pick some other options in the settings depending on what addons you have installed. The settings window can be activated in the player controls when playing music fullscreen, last icon on the right.

Choose art is available in the movie section, try re-installing the skin. As for the BannerWall issue see if deleting the viewmodes.db file in your userdata (wiki) Database folder and restarting Kodi fixes that.

Not gonna do too much in regards to adding Jarvis specific features yet. The Isengard skin should work without issue. Will let you know when I start specific Jarvis stuff.

I added this and placed the setting in skin settings > extras. Install the files below (restart Kodi after) to test it out and let me know if you see any bugs, I will add it to Git if it is bug free.

Deleting the viewmodes.db file worked. Thank you. As for the choose art for the movie library, I have re-installed twice with no luck of having the option of seeing a choose art button. I've tried through the context menu and I've tried through the movie info (play, details/plot, add to list, and + are my only options). I'm using Aeon-Nox-SiLVO-mr.v_widgets_v2. Is there somewhere else or other steps I should be taking?? Or should it be like how it is for TV Shows?? Cinemavision is also missing. Should that be there as well for movies??

I do not have an add to list button I think you should post a screenshot so I can see what you see.
Where did you download the skin from? I suggest you read the FAQ in the second post of this thread to see if it has any info that may be of relevance.
CinemaVision is a new addition that was just added and if you do not see the button when you have that addon installed it appears you are not using the latest GitHub version...

The version I'm using is 5.7.4-2.0.6

Sorry about using the term button to confuse you. I just call every thing that's clickable, a button, within kodi. I'll still show you what I see but I believe I figured out what's going on. By using the artwork downloader progam addon. It disabled the choose art somehow on the movies it personally placed the logos/art with. I personally did two that it was not able to find. When I go back to those same two I see the choose art option for them only and no option for everything else.

I have no idea how to post a screenshot in here but I posted them in my dropbox.

As you can see it's the same library being that the movies are next to each other. How do I get the option back for all of them??

This is a good example of how helpful screenshots can be... The context menu only has choose art for movie sets since there is no info dialog available for them. If you want to alter images for items either inside a set or not then open the information screen and select choose art. If you are using a keyboard press "i" key, if using a remote map a button or change the Kodi setting to show information instead of playing the file

Edit: I forgot that artwork for sets is not yet natively supported... you need to use Movie Set Artwork Automator

I figured that's where it would of been too originally since the tv shows can be found by going to the info screen. But for the movies... it's just not there for me...

That function/button is not available when the replace with extended info settings is active in the video info section of the skin settings. Disable that setting and open the default info dialog to have access to the choose art button.
