Im trying to make an simple Estuary Mod for personal use but im stucked.
I want to set default view for listing tv-episodes and also disable thumbnails and fanart if its possible?
Im only using online streaming video-addons from Kodis official repository, like SVT Play and YouTube, no local files.
I made som changes in MyVideoNav.xml
<defaultcontrol always="true">55</defaultcontrol>
<views>55,50,51,52,53,54,500,501,502</views>
But when im opening the video-addons its not the WideList (55) view as default.
Is it not possible to override the video-addons view-settings in MyVideoNav.xml?
I also deleted the line:
<include>ListThumbInfoPanel</include>
and that disabled the thumbnails but of course also the plot of every tv-episode. Is it possible to disable only the thumbnails and fanart but keep the plot?
Thanks in advance.
FYI, there is already a "Estuary MOD" skin available, so this thread might get a bit confusing.
I've changed the thread title for now.

what you could do for youtube is edit home.xml
xml:
<include content="WidgetListPoster" >
<param name="content_path" value="plugin://plugin.video.youtube/special/recommendations"/>
<param name="widget_header" value="$LOCALIZE[31007]"/> <param name="widget_target" value="videos"/> <param name="list_id" value="30300"/> </include>

Thanks for answers but you are above my league, i dont have the skills or the time to fix to much with the tv-box. The different views of each video-addon i can live with, until Kodi-Team fixes a simple way to set a master default view of every lists.
But the most important for me is to disable thumbnails and fanart to reduce the size of the userdata/Thumbnails-folder, because i use an android tv-box with not to much internal storage memory.
Is there no simple way to disable thumbnails and fanart completely for every lists? In the settings of the YouTube-addon i can disable fanart but thumbnails are still showing for every video in the lists.
With simple i mean changing 1 or 2 lines in some xml-file or like that.
If its not possible to disable thumbnails my options is to either manually clear the thumbnails-cache on regular basis or buy an sd-card and make a Path substitution for the thumbnails-folder to the sd-card if its possible.
