@billyrene , my apologies, I did not upload the changed playlists to the Amber for Matrix repo version.  You can download from GitHub if you like, the changes are there correctly.

I have uploaded versions 3.2.127 (Leia) and 3.4.14 (Matrix) to GitHub and the Amber repos.  After this version, all new functionality will go to the Matrix version, and I will only do bug fixes to the Leia version.
@bsoriano, I just installed this new version but I haven't tested everything yet. As with every new version of Amber, here are the French translations for the new functions.

Show seek bar when starting video playback : Afficher la barre temporelle au lancement d'une vidéo

where night i find the "textbox" for tvshows in fanart view?

i changed a couple of things in the View_56_Fanart.xml to fit my needs. for movies in fanart netflix style view, as you can see in the first picture, i removed the director and made the textbox larger.

Image

i also tried this for tv shows. i removed the release date and also wanted the textbox a little bigger to decrease the gap underneath the rating, pic 2, but cannot find this textbox anywhere in the View_56_Fanart.xml file

Here would be some missing finnish translations;

Enable video lyrics = ota video sanoitukset käyttöön

Dim background and album cover when showing lyrics = Himmennä tausta ja kansikuva kun näytetään sanoitukset

Use alternate favourites layout = Käytä vaihtoehtoista suosikkiasettelua

Align menu item text to the left = Kohdista valikkokohdan teksti vasemmalle

Animate backgrounds using Ken Burns effect = Animoi taustat käyttämällä Ken Burns -efektiä

Hide title bar in main window = Piilota yläpalkki pääikkunassa

Disable now playing fanart = Poista käytöstä "Nyt toistetaan" fanitaide

Show media info with seekbar = Näytä mediatiedot hakupalkin kanssa

Show seekbar when starting video playback = Näytä hakupalkki kun videotoisto aloitetaan

Time to show seek bar = Kauan hakupalkki näytetään

Hide fallback image if no thumb in OSD = Piilota varakuva, jos OSD: ssä ei ole pienoiskuvaa

I have uploaded versions 3.2.125 (Leia) and 3.4.12 (Matrix) to GitHub and the Amber repos.  The only new fucntionality is the following:

1. Hide Seek Bar when Paused.  Amber will now hide the seek bar after 5 seconds when the video is paused.  You can find the new setting here:

Image
Hi @bsoriano, I just noticed a bug with the display of the seek bar when paused on the videos.
I am using Amber 3.2.128 under Kodi Leia and even selecting "Yes" for "Hide seek bar when paused", the seek bar remains displayed after 5 seconds.
@bsoriano - Hi Bart,

I just noticed this issue this morning while browsing my library. I've attached an image to show you the doubling of the next airing episode.

Hi @bsoriano,

Just noticed this when scrolling around the collection. Maybe its something we just have to live with...

If I use Page skipping (not sure the term you would use), it seems to skip over to far.
Can you fix it so there is an overlap? not sure how everyone would want to see it - personally I like how the shows are cut in half on each end. But if we don't really notice that half image on one side, we don't get to see it again. I know I have skipped over shows I thought I had, and now realize that this may be the reason.



Notice "Fringe" on the right, if I Skip to the next page, it jumps to the "Ghost Whisperer" item, and now cuts off the show on the Left.
Image

"From the Earth to the Moon" cut off after 1 page skip to the Right - but "Fringe" has been totally skipped.
Image

Scrolled left-wards show-by-show.
Image

Thank you.

@billyrene , the textbox is in the include "Fanart_Netflix_Info" which starts at line 809 in the View_56_Fanart.xml file.  The textbox control itself starts at line 1123.

@juleke147 , Please see here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2922250 about how to get a Matrix compatible version of service.skin.widgets.  This is not installable from the Amber "Manage Dependencies", as a Matrix compatible version of this addon is not in the Kodi repo.  Thanks.

I tested the version referenced in that post, and it works well under Matrix.
