I've looked in settings in Bannerwall though & can't see how to switch it to to the BannerPlex style view?

Feel pretty stupid having to ask, cos there aren't that many options but I can't seem to find it.

I should probably change it to always show the setting but you have to disable the side information and then enable BannerPlex.

Found it now.

Thanks for the quick reply, & for all your hard work with the skin, of course!

Hi,
Does anyone else lost Favorites window after the last update?
Im missing that on Raspi and Android. It simply wont open favorites from shortcut or menu item.
Plus, the Context menu windows is blank.
Tnx.

Hi @mikeSiLVO awesome skin. the best I have used. where can I find the "what's new" in the latest skin version. I've been looking all over this thread but unfortunately I cannot find it.

I have made a lot of manual edits to your skin

because I will lose all these edits if I update, then I'd like to know what's new in this update you made so to see if it is things that I need then I can update and re-do my edits.

thanks
nordicguy

It's not working for me either.

(2023-12-26, 20:25)brazen1 Wrote: [ -> ]I notice when I click on an actor picture, I'm presented with other pics of them sometimes.  Scrolling through these pics presents the large pics on the left but viewing them isn't clean.  I used to be able to select any of the actors' pics and a large pic would be presented in a new window which would scroll through all the other pics using the left and right direction arrow keys.  Nothing happens using the left and right direction keys now.  Estuary behaves as expected so again I guess it's skin related.  To me, the new window view has always been cleaner, free of all the other info because it just shows the actor pic(s) and nothing else.  The new window does work using this skin.  It always has.  It just doesn't scroll using the left and right keys like Estuary does, but it used to.

I checked over the TMDb Helper thread and shamelessly copied what Hitcher did to achieve the old-style fullscreen left/right image scroll.
Should work the way it used to but if not let me know :)

(2023-12-26, 20:25)brazen1 Wrote: [ -> ]Lastly, sometimes I want to know some details about the file of a title.  Mainly, it's file extension.  My file names are long since I include many details about the RIP.  The file extension is the last bit of info about the title.  I go into the info window and focus on Path: Nothing happens.  Would be nice if it auto scrolled.  So, I focus on File name: instead.  Great, it auto scrolls... painfully, painfully slow.  Wait time to get to the end of the file name to finally show the file extension is a PITA.  Any chance of doubling the scroll speed?  Any chance of providing a scroll speed selection button for ALL items that scroll because imo, they are all painfully slooooooooooow.  Synopsis for example.  

Not sure I answered this but adding a system-wide scroll speed selection would involve lots of changes in almost every skin file so ATM is not likely. I can, however, increase the speeds a tad if I remember to do so. You should be able to click on the filename in the info window to make it bigger. Not sure if it's long enough but it is a fairly large amount of space.

In addon info is a What's New button that is like a changelog but all changes would be listed in the commit history on GitHub. If on Nexus just change branch on the drop down menu that says master.





If you make a lot of edits then I would look into forking the skin on GitHub. Back when this was a mod I learned how to rebase my changes onto BigNoids OG Aeon Nox 5. Lots of skin changes would likely have conflicts that need to be resolved but for me, that just helped to learn skinning even more.

The old favorites dialog was removed completely in Omega and the favorites window took its place.
Skin Shortcuts was supposed to modify your existing action to the new action.

I would need to see your script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml to know what is actually happening but I assume that action is just not being updated. If that is the case then just reselecting favorites in the main menu customizer should fix it.

I do not know what this means...

Hi! Is there an option to remove logos from movie set view using right list?
I know I can remove logos in the movies view using right list but no option in movie sets view.

Hello mikeSilvo. This is the best skin which I use, may be 6 or more years!!! Now I have an issue with viewing status. I am waiting for your update and now I can see you have 9.99.0 version vs what i have 9.10. I have made a lot of manual edits to your skin, and I am afraid if I rewrite my old skin, I will have to start to modify skin from scratch?
Thank you for your work.

Hope this is the main thread you referred me to.

Just loaded latest version from git and auto hide music OSD is working great, thanks!

Hi Mike... I tried to reset the main manu as you instructed and did not work. Then a erased skinshortcuts data and addon (then made a fresh install) and did not work. So, I leave you with a copy of the file you requested in the hopes you can find out what's happening. Thanks Mike!

Hmmm... I thought it was already disabled for sets when doing so for movies. I'll take a look sometime today.

v9.99+ is for Omega. Will be v10.0 when Kodi v21 final is released.

Yeppers, and the screenshots helped me notice the button order needed to be changed.
Artist Slideshow Settings should be below Background.

The favourite main menu item is disabled so I cannot see the details but the shutdown menu does have the correct path.

I also noticed some old playlist paths which would be impossible on a fresh install or if the entry was deleted and then restored.
In Progress Movies submenu is:
But should be:

You should not need to reset the whole menu to fix any issues. Just deleting any specific entry and using the restore button in the customizer should work.

Thanks Mike... by now I think the best will be to make a brand-new install... I have been carrying the current one since years back, so I thinks it's time... 
Thanks for all your help and all the time you invest in this skin to make it the best!

thank you so much. I really appreciate your hard work and creativity. I have done forking before but for my job programming and the way we do it is that after forking, editing and testing we merge the new changes. how would that work for your skin code? do I fork and keep my version and fork your version every time you make changes? or my changes are going to be merged after some point?

the reason I ask is that I am excited to add my edits to your repo, but at the same time I am not sure if they are stable. there are not errors or problem in my kodi due to these changes, but I haven't done any proper testing if you know what I mean. my testing is simply: 1- changes are appearing in the skin, 2- no errors in log, 3- kodi is applying these changes the way I expect

also my edits need some tweaking that I wasn't good able to do due to me not finding how or where I can make these small adjustments that will make the changes great instead of just good enough.

does that make sense

in any case, this sounds interesting so I will try to fork the repo and add my edits and hopefully since this is open source, you or someone else can look into my code and make it awesome.

in case you wonder, my edits are basically to support animated posters for movies and tv shows, support character poster for movies and tv shows, and support directors' thumbnails. I edited the code to add buttons in Silvo extra menu to toggle these on/off.

the adjustment that I couldn't figure out is how to make more views available in the director's thumbnail view. right now it is only icon view and it would work better with poster-like view dimension wise.

nordicguy

Ok so it looks like there is something wrong with View_50_List.xml as replaced this with an old backup and works fine.
