Hello

I had to reinstall and when I pause a movie, it now displays a screen grab from the movie rather than the poster. How do I fix this please?

Cheers
Mark

edit - found on github

I'd like to know how to do this too. Anybody please? Somehow I missed this skin but I instantly love it. Aside from that

Was fixed a bit ago, but hasn't been merged into the official version yet for some reason.
Here is the fix.

Depends on the device, what kind of device?

Xbox series x

I'm unfamiliar with how to alter files on an Xbox version, maybe you can access a share with file manager and have the file there, then use file manager to overwrite the version under kodi userdata apps with a version on the share.
