https://imgur.com/a/2vkjAuv
1. As I mentioned earlier can someone point me to exactly what numbers I need to change to make the posters bigger in Titan Bingie Mod? I believe it was in an .xml
2. In the first two images, Under the clearlogo and under the x% liked, TV Rating, and Seasons It will show either Watch Season 1 Now, or a Top 250 IMDB today.
On some shows it isn't there, rarely for shows with one season and im on season 1, not sure why; but on shows I have progress in beyond season 1 and are not on the top 250 such as Prison Break in image 2. Can we add some kind of placeholder text similar to the Fake Codec, or make it so it says something like Continue Season X (whatever u are on) Now, or Continue Watching Now, etc.
3. In Image 3, when it shows the No. x on IMDB Today, is there a way to disable the top 250 IMDB on Footer. So its not in 2 places at once?
4. Is there a way to remove the white bare under the categories widget at the moment or is that pending?
5. I just saw someone post a screencap of Auramod, are there any plans to add Trakt ratings?
6. Is there any way to get more ratings outside of IMDB and TVDB to show up for TV Shows?
You can adjust the size of the poster inside includeshomewidgets.xml. Doing so will also mess up the movement with multiple widgets when scrolling up and down.
2. That’s the sublabel. Cartman created the logic for “watch season xx” for the tv show sublabel. I just added the top250 to replace it in instances where there is a top250 item.
It seems you want something to permanently be available as a sublabel but I think it’s ok as is. It gives the impression of homescreen being a bit more dynamic. Sometimes there’s a sublabel, sometimes there isn’t, just like Netlix.
3. Yes, this one’s possible. I did keep it in the footer to make the footer a little more detailed, otherwise you’re viewing a very short footer but as you say, it’s redundant info.
4. Currently, the only way to display categories widget properly (with fixed focus and poster layout) is to temporarily switch off fixed focus in order to change widget layouts individually, switch the categories widget to landscape, switch fixed focus back on.
Also need to make sure fixed frame is off and the landscape categories widget is your very last widget (or you’ll run into problems).
I’ve just removed mine completely as I prefer to use fixed frame.
5. If I can ever figure out how to implement tmdb helper. Don’t think skinhelper has this info
6. No.
so to number 2, i assume u mean by cartman set up season XX logic, if i am on season 5 it should show up? How can I make this appear, and yes I agree it does look nice when switching but sometimes I feel like there is extra space left behind, it would be nice if maybe an extra line of plot could appear when no sublabel appears then it would kinda solve that for me.
for 3. If u can set it up, please leave top250 enabled for episodes since the sublabel doesnt appear on episodes, thats the only time it isnt redundant.
to 4. Then alright, ill just remove it until fixed frame is fixed.
5. Alright thanks, Ill wait for that
and to 6. Damn okay, is that something U will ever plan on adding as i do belive TMDB has TV Show ratings.
and to number 1. again sorry im a noob a screenshot highlighting what I have to change would be nice

I also figured out how to transfer the build to my laptop and it's exactly the same. Is it possible I had some setting from way back OG Bingie or one of the early mods to have it disabled or something and changes to the settings over the different versions and I'm not able to change it now because it's no longer a setting?
No, that shouldn’t be the case. Didn’t you do a fresh bingie with no user settings anyway?
Did you try a fresh install on your laptop (rather then transferring your build) and then just add one top 250 tv show? If this doesn’t work (which it really should) it has to be something up with your library integration method I guess.
So presuming this works as it should, it looks like you’d need a fresh Kodi and bingie shield install. No backs ups, start from scratch.
I was afraid you were going to say that but it was good advice I now have the top 250 tv shows but at a price I lost years worth of my artwork luckily it's not a total loss I was able to copy over my entire library and it's not a library integration problem as I had feared. I'm guessing something was corrupt in my old database but I really have no clue.
Top 250 finally working https://imgur.com/gallery/Jszfsht
Well we’d exhausted everything else. At least it’s working now! Good job.

Not sure on the watch season xx logic. I never dived that deeply into it. I think it’s a combination of factors like whether an item has multiple seasons, when the last season was added, what’s stored in your database for progress. Dunno.
Regarding TMDB ratings for TV shows, if skin helper can’t pick them up (which it seems, it can’t) there’s not much I can do. Maybe TMDB helper can retrieve this somehow, no idea if it does or it doesn’t and I don’t know how to implement that damn thing anyway.
Regarding the poster sizes, it requires edits spanning multiple xmls, not only adjusting your poster sizes but then having to adjust your fixed focus position and your frame too probably. Don’t really fancy getting into that right now to be honest.

completely understandable on the last point my friend, thats all i needed to hear its not the end of the world haha and you guys do so much for this skin already. Regarding the other 2, alright thanks for the info. Regarding your middle point, Jurialmonkey, Serpentdrago who worked on Auramod, are really involved in the TMDBHelper aspect and skinning part of the community I have no doubt they would be willing to help you out.
Now I have another question that is not really skin related but since you all wonderful people helped me with a lot of advice with library content and trakt setups to get me where I am now I thought I would ask, I already put up a post on the Trakt script addon github too anyway and they are working on helping me. But heres my current problem, my Trakt addon syncs current episodes, movies etc perfectly but the problem is after i watch an episode part way, exit, it saves the resume point. If i resume it resumes, I checked on the Trakt website and it shows im watching, I also get the scrobble notification. But after I update library (I have setting enabled that trakt syncs automatically after a library update), or do a Trakt sync in any other way. My episode progress is lost, for example if i am 50% through Seinfeld 3 x 1, it saves but after a Trakt sync it just puts it back to 3 x 1, with no progress in it at all. Any ideas?
1. I uploaded some more playlist to the github ready to download, and updated some that needed it. Like New Releases will now only show 2019 & 2020 Movies,
2. I also added a option to remove the total movie count in the Bingie Library views, under Media library view.

Regarding TMDB helper I'm sure those guys would be willing to help, but I do not have much time right now for the skin and that is a lot of work I don't think HugoL would want to try to tackle by himself.
Regarding Trakt I really don't use it so I can shine no light on that for you.

3405? That's a lot of movies!!
I forgot to tell you, I finally figured out to lower the spotlight content widget row height without it affecting the fixed focus height everywhere else.
The only thing I can't figure out is the best way to implement that manual spotlight cycle you found. It acts a bit too unnatural to put out there in its current form but I'm still using it for myself. I thought of removing the info button so it just cycles off the play button but it's still not right and it's weird just having one button there. We kind of need another "On" command action since all the other actions like OnUp, OnDown, OnLeft, OnRight are already being used (and necessary). Like if we had a cycle-spotlight-on-Context-menu action, it would be ideal but I don't think that's possible.

It would be really nice to have it cycle with the rotation of the widgets. I haven't been messing with it lately but really need to get back to it.
I switched the tomato icon to the realistic one in the footer. I think it looks a little nicer personally.

I don’t think that title has RT audience set as default right? Looks like your default is still either TMDB or IMDB and the popcorn icon is just displaying one of those defaults. Or is that just a coincidence?
Hello friends,
I'm a new kodi user, and this skin looks great!
I've been trying to install the original Bingie skin and the Bingie MOD skin, but, unfortunately, I have not been able to use either of them properly.
I've installed Kodi 18.7 on a Raspberry Pi 4 . I also added both skin's repositories from zip and was able to install both skins and choose either of them as the default skin.
However, after I chose either of the skins, all I can see is a full black screen with no UI elements at all. If I press the arrows, esc and backspace buttons on my keyboard I can hear the UI sounds, but nothing on the screen.
The only way I can exit this black screen is by long pressing the backspace button, enter skins settings, and change the default skin back to Estuary.
I'm also seeing these two error messages on Kodi startup:
Code:
Skin Helper Service Error
and
Code:
Skin Service Background Error
.
Is there a known fix for this issue?

There is a fix for this but one of the guy on here would be of more help with the raspberry pi set up. I would only be able to help you on a PC. Just give it a little time they will respond back shortly I'm sure.

That is the default skin setting for spotlight.
