RE: Arctic Fuse - Chalklands - 2023-08-28

Hi. Just playing with the skin. Impressed so far.
1. How do I manually change artwork such as fanart, thumbs, posters etc?
2. Is there a setting to change what is shown on the OSD when playing music?

Thanks!

1) The usual way - from the info dialog. Scroll down to the picture icon at the bottom and click it.

2) Change to what?

Hi, thanks for replying.
1. Found it. Works fine for videos, but with music, when I click on the picture icon nothing happens. Maybe there's just something skew whiff in my set up.
2.  I was thinking about something like the JohnyBee mod. No problem. Was just wondering if there was a setting I'd missed.
Still getting used to the skin. Impressed with it so far though.

Forgive me if i'm missing the obvious but is it possible to have multple widgets per catagory outside of the "Home" screen? Or alternatively is it possible to have the submenus appear as widgets?

Looking at the Movie hub for example i think i'd prefer to see each providers movies as their own widget, rather than having to scroll horizontally through the providers then down.

Hey @jurialmunkey I have a question but I wanted to let you know the Categories with an option to use a Submenu List as a widget is arguably the greatest feature you've ever created! I could write a novel explaining why it's that good, but instead I'll just say anyone that has really harnessed its powers knows what I'm talking about..

Here's my question, just simple curiosity:

Is there a way to include/add the Live TV search in your Global Search function?

(Currently have TMDB People, TV Shows, Movies, YouTube, like to add Live TV)

I'm also comfortable with using the Custom Action option, I'm just not sure what particular function I'd need to type into the Custom Action.

1) Nah, nothing wrong with your setup. It's a bug. Not working for me either in music info screen, just hadn't noticed it wasn't working before.
2) Not familiar with that mod. But yeah at the moment not many options for the music osd -- there will be more customisation of that screen in the future though.

Per category, no -- but you can still have multiple widgets in the hubs, just can't change the stack of widgets per category.

It's a skinshortcuts limitation rather than a deliberate choice. If I ever find a way to achieve it, it will be added -- ideally there would be no difference between the "home" hub and the other hubs but so far I haven't found a suitable approach that doesn't involve hardcoding thousands of lines of skin code (or me writing my own skinshortcuts addon, which is not really a path I want to go down).

Thanks Big Grin

Having a Live TV search in the global search area would be a great idea -- it seems like it should be possible since Kodi has a search function for it natively, but I can't seem to find anyway to do it via just a library path without involving some type of addon script.

There's a few other search functions I'm currently working on / looking into adding which will need some scripting to do json-rpc lookups (e.g. getting actors/directors from the library) -- so hopefully will be able to use a similar method to also add a channels search.

I'll keep looking for that magic link and will get back to you if I ever find it!

I already use your TMDBPeople search so that helps me look for actors/directors but I'm always curious about the new ideas you continue to cook up 😎

Wish that there is a "library or trakt mode" in TMDb Helper. I you switch to "trakt mode" the "mark as watched, reset resume position, etc." easy access will switch to trakt action without a going to a separate menu (track options).

Those context menu entries are forced by Kodi and it is impossible for plugins to override them with their own actions. If it were possible to disable them I would.

Sorry to bother you many time but at the moment the skin is nearly finish, would you improve font cjk roboto ?

I don't make fonts. I'm not a type designer.

Roboto is a font made by Google.

yes i know Smile. i means fonts size and vertical space between two line of font and maybe something more ... all make the font vision gui of the skin Smile
when i choose cjk roboto fonts, for example i take screenshot :
Image
in the above screenshot you can see, the character g in word England and Angeles is not full show
if i choose default font, i have no problem with g character like this
i must choose cjk roboto font cause i have a lot of asia movies and musics, and many details is japan or korean characters.
one again thank for your great skin !


RE: Arctic Fuse - mannicra52 - 2023-09-04

Hi Jurial
Just a quick one, love your skin , its design and ease of customisation. How can I speed up the loading of the skin as using a 3rd gen firecube with addon widgets. Finding load times taking a age.
