I'm surprised other skins don't do this more, being able to get content out of plugins into widgets is hugely useful for me so thanks!

Out of curiosity, how did you get YouTube subscriptions working in widget form?

Cheers

This is awesome! I've ALWAYS used arctic ii and I was stupid excited when I saw this, as I hadn't anticipated it so soon. I've been following the previous thread to make adjustments and find fixes to the old version when things broke in new versions of Kodi!

When I saw it had been closed, I was like "darn...there goes any hope of support for continuing using this arctic ii version"

Then low and behold, ZEPHYR!

I Love the 3D options (the tag and video OSD option).

I setup a custom menu option that points to advanced launcher, labelled "Nintendo". In the previous skin, there was a predefined widget to show your most played ROMS for RCB. It looked really nice on the Home Screen seeing the pictures of games under the Nintendo title. To "kind of" achieve this now, I've added a few games to my favorites, and pointed the widget to that. I was just wondering if there are any plans to allow me to see "most played" ROMS selectable as a defined widget and be displayed like the movie and TV widgets?

Thanks again for the awesome work and giving me a nice, new default skin!

Thanks.
Probably not going to support RCB unfortunately as it is quite a lot of work to skin (its a maybe eventually but unlikely anytime soon), plus the widgets for it use the old method which is a real pain to support.
What I'm really waiting on is retroplayer integration -- then things will get really good

Yeah its a pretty nifty feature. The possibility to do it has only been around since Gotham so I just don't think anyone really realised just how simple it actually was to implement. I had it in Eminence but you had to go through favourites and I had to use a special script. I didn't really want to do that for this skin because maintaining a separate script addon is a pain - then one day the idea for the side menu came to me - its such a simple and easy way to do it, I was surprised I hadn't thought of it before.

You need to set a weather fanart pack for the weather widget otherwise it wont work.
Weather fanart can be set at Skin Settings > Backgrounds > Set weather fanart
You can get a weather fanart pack from this thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=41650

There is an option from the side view menu to "Set custom widget path" - this will set the current view to one of the custom widgets and then you go to the home customisation screen and choose the custom widget you set.

So basically you can open any video addon up to anywhere that you want to be a widget and open the side menu and set it. Its really good for streaming addons.

Have tried every combo I can think of nothing seems to work I am using the emby(media browser) server and the emby kodi addon could this be the cause? An example of a filename "Adventures of Tintin .3d.fsbs. 3DMVC.mkv" 3dmvc is just used to trigger the external player

Read the link I posted. FSBS is not in the naming convention - take the f out.
It has to be "Adventures of Tintin .3d.sbs. 3DMVC.mkv"


Thanks for the suggestion but that didnt work either ( I thought we finally had it) see picks

I finally got it I left the server the way it was and completly uninstalled/ re-installed kodi and all is working now thanks for the help cheers.

I don't know if you saw my comment but what do you think of an "highlight first letter " option in the big icon view to make browsing more convenient?
And by the way advanced launcher is getting support again!...just saying...

cheers!

I'm not sure what you mean by "highlight first letter" -- the top left header should change to the letter being scrolled to when fast scrolling, is that what you are talking about?

Oh wow, just googled Retroplayer and that sounds very exciting!

Just wondering, are there any plans to implement Global Search into the skin?

(2015-03-31, 15:18)phlox Wrote: [ -> ]Hello jurialmunkey,

first of all, your Zephyr Skin is really great, searched a long time for such a nice skin. So, i have a little feature request, and i did not get it to work by myself. I use a VPN via RasberryPi2 and use a VPNAddon from Brian Hornsby (http://brianhornsby.com/kodi_addons/openvpn). The addon works great, and my openVPN connects. But i did not know my ip adresse (if its the vpn or my own outgoing one). So is it possible, that you add an option, which show my external ip adresse in the right corner under the time/date/weather, like this:

15:17
Dienstag, 3 März 2015
10 C Regen
IP 127.0.0.1 (Germany)

For the geolocation in the brackets, it could be usefull to use IPInfoDB API, (if possible)
Or can you tell me, how i did this?

No hesitation, only a feature request Keep up the good work, will send some money

Best regards

Phlox

Any ideas how i do it myself?

hi jurialmunkey, hi C****r B.

i am so glad i found your skin by accident! This should be the default Kodi-Skin actually.

By the Way: Could you please tell me how to change the standard picture in Live TV (the fancy guy [hope that ain´t you] sitting in front of that super posh flat with this ~ 380 inch screen)?

Cheers! Enjoy your Amber...

Hi,

I've finally updated to Helix. I'm now using this awesome skin as default.
First of all THX to jurialmunkey for his work.

I've got a question.
I use the option show widget when press up. My problem is that i always see fanart of the widget even when it's not focus.
Is there a way to deactivate it? I want to use fanart of my choice expect when i navigate in the widget.

THX in advance for your help

Global Search is already skinned. You can search with it by selecting search from the side view menu. And of course you can add it to your home menu through the customisation dialog.

I don't think it is possible to get the external IP address without a specialised script...
Can get the local network address of your ethernet port / wifi and that's not going to be much help really I imagine.
Also you can get your current local IP address from Settings > System Info

Thanks. Nope that's definitely not me

You would have to use the github version because otherwise its compressed into a textures file. On the github version its in
