What happens?

The section headings scrolling up that Matke was looking at… doesn’t bother me too much, but seems to be a general thing.
What is bugging me a bit is the Skin Setting “Show first unmatched episode…” for TV Shows instead of Show information not working - this behaviour seems to be always on for the homescreens and always off for the submenu/library views, and the Skin setting seems to be ignored.
Its a real shame, especially as you can only seem to access the “Add to My List” button at that top level - does anyone know any fix for this?

What screen resolution are you using? I have seen this when messing with lower resolutions.

3840x2160

does this happen on all movies or certain ones?

@Baxter300

You can edit this Includesbingie.xml and this should take care of it... Just change the height to what you need.

Hi, changing the value on row 758 seems to limit the height of the genre flag/cast info and doesn't change the widget label issue for me

@Baxter300

Sorry let me see a screenshot of your issue...

@Baxter300

Is that screenshot of your on the Homescreen? where is your side blade menus? You have edited your xmls before it looks like

This is the issue I'm seeing. The widget labels are scrolling away into nothingness

I've not edited the XML before no the side menu thing is still there I just selected "None" for the menu item icons to make them invisible

Change res to 1920 x 1080 and go back to main screen where widgets are. Reload skin and see if that helps

I’ve just tried that and it hasn’t helped

All my Studio Logos and most of my ratings are not showing now. Any idea why? Has SkinHelper been recently updated? Tried deleting simplecache.db but they havent returned yet.

Newbie here just moving over to Kodi from Plex after many years. I tried a few times but no skins fit my preference (or please my wife haha). We are both loving TBM, just struggling to make a couple adjustments. The first is what you mentioned about OMDB:
1. Where do I find the setting to enter my OMDB API? I searched thru what I thought was every Setting with no luck.
2.  After the Netflix splash screen, my Home takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes to truly load. I'm running on ethernet, Nvidia Shield box (or Shield Pro boxes) on every tv, PKC add-on, and local media on my NAS. Even from a fresh install it has that type of delay. Would your recommendation of "When scanning in use the option local content." help that? I wasn't sure how to enable that option. If not, what would help?
3. It seems I have to change the view in every section I'm viewing (Show, or Seasons, or Episodes) from List to my preferred of "Bingie Main Landscape". It can even change from looking at one show to the next. Is there a way to set this globally?

Thank you! Love TBM!

I know there were some other conversations going on. I wanted to follow up on my questions so they didn't get lost if anyone could assist. Thanks!

1) general skin settings>skin service helper advanced settings>skin helper settings (music/pvr artwork e.c.t) >settings>api keys

2) I've found personally to try and use your libary as much as possible. I only use one video addon myself and have incorporated it into my libary along with my local drives. Try and keep your spotlight and Widgets mostly pointing to your libary/playlists and try and have as little as possible going to addons.
Even using 30 items per Widget i manage to get everything to load before the splash screen has finished.
3) the main view can be found in homesceeen layout>widgets>layout for widgets. I belive you also need it set up to set default action to show information to get it to show info like next episode, more seasons e.c.t (should be all done by default if you set it up correctly)
If there is a view you like somewhere else you can press c to bring up the context menu were you can select a view you prefer (some dont work in certain conditions, like you can't use biggie view when viewing media sources) it will just default to list. But some can be used like poster wall e.c.t.
Once you have found the ones you like then click the lock directly under where you selected the view to lock it until you wish to change it.

Thank you so much for the help! Some follow up:
1. I've set the OMDB patreon API(and Fanart and TMDB too) but still not seeing all the ratings (and their icons). I've enabled and disabled the "Prefer IMDB/RT/TMDB Ratings over Percentage" option in settings but neither one changes where I can see all the various ratings. 
2. I'm using a local NAS with PKC(PlexKodiConnect) ass my only video add-on. What do I need to do to make that "Local" as you mentioned? 
3. Hmm, yeah that's just for the homescreen. I want the Homescreen poster so no need to change that. I thought there would be a way to set the global view once inside each area (i.e. TV Shows, inside a Season, etc.)
