It simply looks terrible if you only have list with 2,3 or 4 items.

Sure, but I wouldn't think many people only have 3 or 4 TV channels Smile

I guess the TV part is complete Wink
I have a question because your new keyboard. It looks very cool and is s big update! When I use the German keyboard I can't directly go to the last line of letters. Means, if I go to the last line it always jumped one or two letters to the right side.

Unfortunately this is not very comfortable. Is this an Kodi or a Skin "Thing"?
?
Please get a little bit more detailed. I don't get it.

Edit:
Ah, now I get you. That's because of the centering. It only can be fixed, if the controls will be left aligned, which looks ugly.
I've changed the layout a bit to fix this behaviour
@sualfred,

Does this download extrafanart and extrathumbs? I am currently using Ayla's version on my firetv's, but I installed a portable Jarvis version so I can start playing with your version of FTV on my Windows box and I noticed I've got extrafanart and extrathumbs in all of my media folders. Just trying to track down what is downloading them, and so far I only have this and the Emby beta addon installed.

Also, if it is this skin downloading them, where is the extrafanart and extrathumbs used? I'd like to make sure I utilize them so long as they're available.

Lastly, thanks for the work on this, can't wait for everything to hit stable release and move this to my tv's.Love Hitcher's work, but lack of PVR was a downfall for me.
I use no extraarts in the views.

But:
- Artwork Downloader will be started as soon as the library has been scanned for new videos (with the user addon configuration)
- Skin.Helper.Service is scraping PVR fanarts

I guess you have extra artworks enabled in Artwork Downloader. Just disable it in the addon settings and everything is fine.
Hi sualfred,

thanks for this nice piece of work. I have some trouble getting fullscreen video with liveTV. Once I leave the liveTV screen and go back to main menu keeping the channel running I cannot return to the fullscreen video screen. I tried pressing "back" in main menu or even enter the channel via TV guide or channel list. But the video is not displayed anymore though I still can hear the sound. Any ideas?

Btw: It would be nice (and maybe even solve the aformentioned problem) to have the video playing in the background when keeping it running. It is confusing to just hear the sound but see no video anymore. Also it would be nice to have fanarts shown as a background image when scrolling through the library. Both could be done as an option for those who don't like it.

Regards (and servus),

Can't be a skin problem. If it won't switch back to the video fullscreen and keep staying on the main menu -> keymap problem. If you have a blank screen with sound -> Kodi problem.

Wouldn't work on the home screen because of the menu background masks. On other views it would be possible with some changes all over the windows, but I don't want to add it. Sry.

Thanks Sualfred, I had a hunch I was asking in the wrong place; disabled this in the Artwork downloader and cleaned up the library.
When I go into Live TV and press 'Back', the focus goes to "All Channels" - can I make it go to the main menu instead (yes, just to save that one extra click every time)? Smile
You mean the EPG? Nope. <onleft>, <onright>,<onup>,<ondown> are used to move inside EPG list control. <onback> is the only button, which was left to get to the buttons.
Tried to install from the zip file, but got this:

As mentioned in the first post, for requirements check the original fTV thread. This is just a mod.
