Should be able to open them now!
Nope.
Ah, now I get you. Just change the widget layout to Square or Square Info. As mentioned a few replies above, Poster is the wrong view option for Genres.
Thanks! Will try and see what happens

It works! Though with regards to lag, 3 widgets is the most each menu will allow without stuttering. Browsing sub menus is a bit clunky.

Last question. How frequently do the banners change? Or is it only when you restart kodi?
The latest and random ones will change on each skin refresh/restart.
The recommended ones should be updated every 10 minutes but I don't know how exactly they work. The content is provided by the skin helper script.

You guys should start thinking about building a real HTPC. Even a low powered AMD A6 or older s115x Intel device is able to run everything without any lag. Still don't get it why someone uses a cheap Android china lemon if they can get a powerful HTPC for a few bucks more. It's like you want to drive 200 km/h with a electro bike. Just my 2 cents.

I think the point is most people with the fire tv box do not experience lag as it's a capable device normally.capable of handling most skins. I have even used previous versions of your skin and all of hitcher skins without issue.
The banners don't seem to be consistent on which art they choose- for example.the banners.you have for paranormal activity 2 and Lucy are nothing like the ones I see. Yours are like actual banners and mine are all chopped off Confused
Screen pls
Do you have hitchers "next aired" add-on skinned support for this? :o cheers
yes
Can you add support for Krypton or tell us what to "mod" ourselves so we may use it in Krypton?

I only ask this because of my recent update across my devices and I find myself a "update maniac" always checking out Hitchers newest version and then yours too. Currently I can't do this and I'm only able to use his since he changed it for Krypton support.


Much thanks to you, Hitcher and the community for bringing this stuff all together nicely, I see the banners are coming along nicely, I can't wait to try!

What other skins allow up to 96 widgets on the home screen?
The Fire TV isn't a powerful device so it's going to struggle the more widgets you add.

Yes but I am not using 96, I'm using 3 per page! Your skin with 8 per page does.not struggle! This isn't a personal attack, I'm just reporting my experience and am not the only one, not to put anyone down, but to point out a potential issue.
