Is it possible to adjust the skin for Kodi 22 Piers? Just a question
Thanks
Great skin, as all of @jurialmunkey's are... Thank you very much for the hard work and effort putting it together.
Been using it for a couple of weeks now, and so far no noticeable bugs or glitches. However, and I thoroughly understand the skin is still a work in progress, would there currently be any way to create a custom shortcut on the home screen for 'Party Mode'?
I tried creating a new shortcut through customisation options under skin settings, but can't seem to complete the setup since I cannot locate the 'Common' category where the 'Party Mode' option (as well as some others) used to be...
I was using Arctic Horizon 2 previously and even Zephyr 2 before that, and the option to create this shortcut was always there, so any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

That's literally what advanced mode does...It sets the hub to allow advanced features such as spotlights and categories (ie so the hub is more than just widgets only).
I'll rephrase my question. Why does only 'Advanced' mode apply a horizontal category layout and spotlight? I much prefer a vertical layout for categories, but selecting any of the vertical modes (Basic or Detailed) means that there is no spotlight (unless I have missed a setting)? Why no vertical category layout AND spotlight?
Two reasons.
1. It doesn't make sense navigationally from vertical as you would need a diagonal movement to reach it and remotes do not have diagonal directions. Using a left/right direction to move diagonally upleft or downright is confusing from a ux perspective. It also looks incredibly awkward in terms of animation to have diagonal movement.
2. It doesn't make sense with how vertical works as one big group to randomly have spotlights in the middle when scrolling down/up through the widgets. It would also be a nightmare code wise to try to manage this behaviour and would complicate things immensely.
In horizontal spotlights make sense because they are always at the top of the group, not the middle; and the navigation always feels natural because it is a simple up/down movement to travel from categories to spotlight and back.
Thanks for explaining.

You can enter custom commands by using the "Action" button and selecting edit to input via the keyboard.

Party mode is
Code:
PlayerControl(PartyMode(music))
Rather than widgets on the home categories, I opted to have a custom side menu instead, which made for faster loading. Clicking on the menu item would bring up the widget for that item. Loved this layout!
However, with v2.4.17, this is no longer the case. Instead it pops up a secondary menu on the right. Not only can't you see related info at a glance, when long pressing an item for information, the selection menu stays, making the info screen quite messy.
Is this supposed to be like this? If so, any chance of an option to display a widget instead of a secondary menu? Failing that, any way for me to go back to v2.4.15?
Hello guys. Is there a setting in the AF2 skin to enable this numbering? Or is this extra not available in the new skin?
Hello @
jurialmunkey
Thank you for making this awesome skin
My question is off topic, I will delete this if anyone minds
Is there any way to map a key to the action which is performed while selecting audio track from floating window of OSD?
Reason behind this is that the webos version of Kodi has severe audio sync issues but once we re select the audio track from your skin floating menu then the audio gets reloaded and the sync issues goes away so I'm looking for a easier way to trigger the same action for selected audio track

It's not implemented yet. I requested it to be implemented a month ago. But it's not yet.

You have to know the index of the audiostream. You can retrigger the default audiostream (index=0) with the following
Code:
Runscript(script.skinvariables,set_player_audiostream=0)
Understood
If I'm understanding correctly the command provided by you will re-trigger default audio track
And if I want to re-trigger audio track #2 I'll need to edit the command to "audiostream = 1"
Is that correct?

Yes that's correct. Arrays start at 0. The array index is the offset from the default position, so audiostream=1 will be the second track (1 position away from default) and audiostream=2 is the third track (2 positions away from default) and so on.
Got it
Thank you so much!
Will test it in the evening

Thank you very much for the explanation and shorcut code... All good now.
I seemed to have lost the rewind icon on the player?? It seems to instead be "previous file". I cant seem to find a setting to change it. Anyone have any idea?
