Thanks for again making a superb mod! Sorry for the long post, but I've been using your mod on Kodi 17 for a few days now, and have a few bugs, requests suggestions and questions Smile


1) Artwork Downloader - notifications are popping up even though AD is set to run in the background and not show notifications on finish/errors. Is it a Kodi, Add-on or skin issue?

2) Clearlogos covers the IMDB rating in the top info bar in the Movie and TV Show menus.

3) When you're in the Skin Settings menu and click a multiple choice option in a sub menu (eg. Hide info bars) the menu jumps back to the Home menu and then shows the option choices instead of staying in the original sub menu.

4) I changed the order of the TV Show widgets to see "Next episodes to watch" on top as seen in the image below. However, when I first choose the TV show hub (both on intial load and if I go to any other hub and back) it briefly shows the default widget "Recently added episodes" (that I've moved two slots down) before it loads the Next episodes widget. Any way to fix that?

5) Is there a way to show posters instead of thumbnails in the TV Shows hub widgets or would it be possible to get a way to choose which style one prefers?

6) I quite like the new "grand size" posters shown in the default Estuary skin, any way we could get an option to choose between smaller sized or "Kodi 17 regular sized" posters?

Image

vs.

Image

7) Is there a way to get the watched/in progress indicator icons to always show on posters in the Movies and TV shows menus (now they only show upon selection of specific movies/shows)? And maybe a way to set a different colour on the icons?

Image

8) Would it be possible to get the option of using the Estuary default style watched indicator on posters like this?

Image

9) Would it be possible to implement a preview of Next Aired info when selecting/hovering over a TV show as we had in your Eminence Mod?

10) Would it be possible to get an option to display fanart in the background of the movie/TV show info menu?

11) When I choose "Show fanart" in the movie/TV show info menu I only get a black screen instead of the actual fanart (that has been downloaded as I see it when I hover over a movie in the movie menu)

11) I think the metadata information for a movie/TV show would look better without the white boxes around them. Any way for you to implement that as a choice? I know I could always just edit the image files, but maybe more people would like it too Smile

Image

13) Any idea what the picture underneath my sources is? It's in the Videos hub and I'm unable to choose it and can't move below it. I have three widgets by default in it: Video Sources, Audio Sources and Playlists. I only use the first one, but I'm unable to set widget 2 and 3 to none, it just stays the same whenever I choose none.

Thank you for all your amazing work! Big Grin

1) Notifications are handled by Kodi and Artwork Downloader itself.

2) It's already fixed in next update 1.7.4.

3) I can't do nothing for that. This dialog window is handled by Skin Helper Service addon.

4) It's better to use personnalizable widget to not have the fallback widget.

5) No, Hub widget only offer thumbnails or fanarts

6) No I do not plain to do this because some codes need to be rewritten and use more space than actual posters.

7) It is a will on my part, I prefer to have status only when I focus items.

8) There is already watched/unwatched status in media flag and I prefer a minimum of info on posters

9) Not really understand what you mean.

10) There is already fanart in background on info dialog :
Image

11) Working for me :
Image

12) I like them like this. To do this all media flag icons need to be edit and there is many files...

13) Have you change default widget from Videos item ? Do you use skin for Kodi 18 ? Because I just fix a mistake for that on git.

Do you have the fanart downloaded into your movie folder?

Maybe a glitch for those that do not have fanart in the movie folder... (like me)
While I think of it,

When I select an episode, it show the TVshow poster:

Image

When I select "..", it show the season poster:

Image

Find it a bit weird...

Shouldn't it be the opposite?

Just try this one to try to avoid widget "reload time" (it seems to work) but found this useless time duration display:

Just compare with original TVshow widget and it is not there:

Thanks again for your wonderful skin!
It´s really amazing!

But here are some more comments / suggestions Wink:

1) Just tried the coloured epg with default estaury, there it works without any problem for any epg-genre. On your skin the coloured epg doesnt work for all genres (i think just for sports)... Do you have any idea why?
Image

2) I configured submenus for all Menu-Items, but sometimes the submenu-items are shown duplicated (on live-tv for example)
Image

3) When i have an icon of an addon as submenu, when i focus it, its not really beutiful how the selection is shown. Is there any chance to do it like a "normal" focus of submenu?
Normal focus:
Image

Addon icon in focus:
Image

4) Live-TV widget: I really like this widget wiht channels, but would it be possible to show (at the top of the channels), the next timers and the active timers?
Image

5) If i have enabled RSS-Newsfeed, the newsfeed goes "through" the media flags on home scree, when i selected a movie in a widget:
Image

6) I i update the skin manually (copying new github skin in folder), all my settings in the skin settings (video osd, music osd, ...) are gone and i have to configure it again.
Any possiblity (without manually backing up and restoring) to not overwrite skin settings when updating the skin?

General information:
- Windows 10 332bit
- Kodi 17
- Estaury Mod 1.7.4 from Git (07.01.2016 - ca. 19 o´clock)
- Addons:

Thank you so much for your help!

Same here, they're stored outside of my movie folder.

First fixed.

For the second unwatched TV Show widget is random, after reload it change, that's why you have not the same.

All good

The second screenshot was here only for showing that the duration display was not there on normal TVshow section but only if I create another one

Thank you so much for your help!

1) Colors for EPG are located in extras/epg-genres folder. Files must have the same name as genre name.

2) Only for live tv or other ?

3) This type of addon are banned on this forum. Please remove your picture.
You must change icon in personnalise home menu.

4) I have no PVR backend to try and to improve PVR section.

5) I will fix that.

6) Skin settings are not located in skin folder but in your userdata folder. So you can overwrite skin files without to lost your settings.
Guilouz, I have been having an issue installing the recommended necessary addons for your skin, namely "script.skin.helper.backup" and "script.skin.helper.widgets". This is with a fresh install, and I am able to install everything except those two. when I click on the red x to install them, nothing happens. I have been able to manually install them, just find it odd that neither of them will work no matter how many times I reinstall kodi,
(2017-01-07, 21:24)Gracus Wrote: [ -> ]Pick the one you want from https://www.themoviedb.org/ or https://fanart.tv/ ( collection arre listed on both of them) and put them in a folder

Then in kodi:

-right click on a collection
-manage... -> choose art -> poster
-scroll to the bottom and choose browse
-browse to the folder and choose the poster

You can do the same with collection clearlogo from https://fanart.tv/ (skin should already grab one but you can change it manualy)

Thanks for the tips! Weird that this isn't implemented in Kodi for automatic fetching already. Seems that everything is in place for it to be automated.
Junias, I have run into issues setting up the main menu and submenu where it will still be buggy even if I had to correct a path mistake. I had to reset all of the menu settings from the skin settings menu and do it all over again to correct the issues it was having. What I did was created a direct shortcut to a search function and caused it the search to randomly pop up, but it continued to do it even after I fixed it. You may be looking at resetting it all.
