Huge thanks!
I tried test here all scenarios and thought I found one that didn't work. The thing is that genres and studios, in episodes, don't show anything, but when I type "channel 4" too, for example, in Kodi's search they only show tv shows as result, so it not show in video info because this not exist in Kodi. I imagine too that is very rare a tv show that have episodes recorded in various countries. So, working perfectly from what I could see!

For movie sets there just one thing: the certification flag are touching the line, at least in not-USA certifications.  
@edjalmo , I am not quite sure I understand the scenario you mention.  As for the movie sets info positioning, I think I just fixed that, made it the same as the regular video info.  Could you please download the latest from Git and let me know if it is indeed fixed? Thanks.

Regards,

Bart  

Movie sets are fixed now!
Sorry bad english, but what I tried to say is that the search of kodi don't show results of genre and studio for episodes (what make sense since this is defined by the tv show), so this happend too when I'm in video info page of a episode and click in genre or studio to search. They show nothing as result because theres nothing as result, is not a mistake of you, is a Kodi thing. 
@edjalmo, thanks for explaining further.  It's not a Kodi thing, it is an omission on my part.  You should be able to get local results on genre and studio from episodes, as they can have a genre and a studio.  I will be fixing this shortly.

I also changed yesterday the way extrafanart is handled in the skin.  It will be shown, both while browsing the video library and music library, given that your extrafanart is stored locally and named fanartxx, with xx being from 1 (not 01) to whatever number you have.  The skin makes use of Leia functionality as explained here: Movie_artwork(wiki)

Nice!
But I don't know if I get this right.
Can you show a screenshot of how this looks (for movies, tv show and music)?
Also, maybe this already exist, would be nice if when we click in show fanart, in video info page, we can pass of the available fanarts, what you think?
@bsoriano - Ever since I upgraded to the latest repo version I don't see the weather temperature anymore. I tested it on Windows and on LibreELEC. Any ideas?

@shedrock , the issue is there.  It must be a Kodi Matrix thing, since all I am showing is ListItem.Label, and it has a value, but it is not being shown! I have now idea what might be causing this.  I will test in a Leia installation tonight to see if it is really a Matrix thing.

You're correct. I just tested it and it is indeed there.

@edjalmo , this should be fixed now.  You will get genre and studio results for episodes.  You will also get local results for director and writer for episodes.  

The online genre and studio results provided are for tv shows and not episodes, as this is what the plugin is returning.

Please download the latest from Git, test, and let me know what you think.  Thanks.

@edjalmo , visually, the fanart changes while you are browsing your library.  When any movie or tv show or artist is selected, the fanart background changes if you have more than one fanart.  I am not sure what kind of screenshot you are looking for.

As for the second request, I will keep this in mind.  At this time I am not implementing extra fanart in video info.

Right! So, is like a slideshow from background. It's because I saw discard and others type of art in code of advanced settings and be curious when where this will show.

Hey, I noticed that when a tv show don't have cast they show a cast space, without nothing, and this are creating a little bug because this way the first thing that are select are the seasons, and I can't saw what season are selected. I think this is a thing you will understand better seeing (check Black Mirror).

Another thing is for TMDb persons video info page. Please, increase just a little the plot size, because the way it are are cutting the letters "y", "p", "j", "q" (these type of lowercase letters that stay under the line) if the plot is large, in the last line.

Now when I click in one person to see TMDb online info about I have to select it in a list of persons. You implement this because was having errors in results (wrong peoples)? In my tests (I admit that were not many) always the first person is the right person.

And the last, please fix the playlist of watched episodes.

Thanks!
Hello Bart,

Something cropped up a few revisions ago for me with i'm guessing a font change. I used to get this.

Now I get this.

Image

As you can see the text in the icon doesn't fit anymore.

Also I've lost all text on icons in the weather panel.

From this

To this

Any idea what I might do to revert back to the old behaviour? 
Thanks!

@edjalmo , I think I fixed the cast issue, please test the latest from Git.  I had not noticed, because out of 629 tv shows, I only have 1 that has no cast.  

I am not seeing the issue with the plot size in the person info page.  Could you please send me a screenshot? Thanks.

@jurialmunkey implemented choosing from a list of people, since there are many actors,directors, writers, etc. with the same name in TMDb.  He also implemented separating the directors and writers when doing online searches.

I am sorry I had forgotten about the recently added episodes playlist.  I fixed this now.

There are 2 features I would love to see implemented in this skin one day. (wish-list)

1 - As soon as you bring up the context menu, you have the option to select artwork using AB, instead of going into "Manage...".

2 - Bigger artwork images from the drop-down selection box. For example selecting a Poster is very hard to see, especially if there is text on it and you don't want it. It looks great on a computer screen, but when you're 10-15 feet away, it really is very difficult to see. Maybe when you hover over each one a bigger version pops up?

Anyway, I know they are not a priority, but it would be great to see them implemented at some point.

@shedrock,

Thanks for your feature requests!

1.  I don't think I can do much about the first one, the developer of AB would have to implement a context menu item for the addon.  As far as I know, the skinner does not have any control as to what appears in the context menu.

2.  I take it you mean when you press "Choose Art" in the video info dialog? if so, I will keep this in mind, as the select dialog used for that is used for many things throughout the skin, and I will need to redesign it.

Regards,

Bart
