Full Version: Embuary Skin

Kodi<->System<->Driver issue. Hard to say what is causing it. And without blanking other screens?

You could try to disable any running Windows background application/service one by one. And update the Intel GPU drivers.
Breaking change
 
The upcoming version will kill all your existing main menu and hub menu configurations, because I changed the way how the skin handles them.
 
Major improvements:
  • Completely changed the implementation to edit and customize the main menu, movies/tvshows/music hub menus. 
  • The menu items of those windows aren't limited anymore.
  • Reworked skin settings dialog + popups to be much more user friendly. 

I also hope that this will increase the stability and performance in some cases.
 
If someone will give it a try before it hits the repos, please feel free to manually install it from the GitHub repo. Issue reports and feedback is welcome.

NOTE: This will only work on Krypton atm! 
It will be merged to Leia once I know that everything is working.    
I tried it on a Mac. Everything is working fine. The only thing I notice is, that in stead of the "continue watching" item in the main menu, it now says "next up"
When you go inside the moviehub there it says " continue watching"
Have you reseted everything? Should not be the case.

 Yes, it was a fresh install of kodi krypton. All the nessesary addons are installed.
Cannot reproduce it. I killed all skin settings manually to emulate a clean installation and it's called "Continue watching".

 Well, all I can say is, that continue watching is working in the moviehub and tvshow hub, but not in the main menu. At least, not by me.
Please provide a screenshot of the home widget editing screen and the content of the settings.xml which is stored in userdata\addon_data\skin.embuary

Checked my code again and the headline for the labels are hardcoded. I cannot explain your issue.

@all others
Leia branch is ready for testing:

Is it recommended to delete the data from userdata\addon_data\skin.embuary before installing this newest update? Sorry if it's a dumb question, just curious.
@Giant_Midget 

Should not be necessary. Only if you are facing problems it's a good start to reset the skin completely.
The new menu editing system is not using the existing settings values anymore.

 oh my goodness, i love to try it
so when this skin reach the final version?
Final means I have to find a new spare time project. I don't like finals. So never expect a "final" version.
