Hi Bart,

I am on Kodi 18.7 Android. My device is a firestick 4K.

I have a VOD service which has a kodi add on. I separate my 24/7 shows by adding them to favorites. When I play from favorites the video controls don’t illuminate which shows in the video. I must use a mouse to get them to show up to stop the video.

Thanks,
Derrgoo

@derrgoo123 , my apologies, I still cannot reproduce this issue.  If I play a tv show, from a VOD service (I tried with Netflix), that I added to favourites, the controls are working fine.  I tried by going to the Favourites menu item, moving to the show, pressing Enter on it, then pressing Enter on an episode to play it.  If I press M while playing the episode, the OSD controls show up, with Pause highlighted.  Even if I move the mouse, which makes it so that no controls are highlighted, I can press any key (Up, Down, Enter, a letter other than X which stops the episode, etc.), and the controls are highlighted correctly.

I really don't know what could be causing the issue in your setup.  Please send me a debug log of when the issue happens, to see if there is anything in the log that might give me a clue.  Thanks.

Regards,

Bart

The "Born" and "Formed" are on the same line as they are part of the same variable (panelsubheading, in Includes_Variables.xml).  I can put them in different lines if you do not wish to make that change yourself.

As for the artist bio textbox, there is not much room there to make it larger.  Maybe I can give it a couple more lines of text, would that be enough for your purposes?

What I can do without any serious redesign (which I don't think I would be taking on), would look like this:



Please let me know if this would suit you.

If not and you want to tackle this yourself, the background image is in the common subfolder of the skin's media folder, and it is called Vignetteinfo.png.   All of the fanart view code is in View_56_Fanart.xml in the skin's 1080i folder, and the bits for what is shown in the info panel starts at line 716.  All of the variables referenced in the code can be found in Includes_Variables.xml in the skin's 1080i folder.

That looks perfect. Just what I was looking for. Had a look at those files, might be a bit beyond my skills. Are you able to share please or is it something you may include in next update ?

Thanks Zorg

@zorg2000k , it will be in the next update.  If you are OK downloading from Git, the changes are already on GitHub, in the Leia branch.

Bart

This is the best thing about Amber, the developer !

You ask, and then 5 mins later IT'S DONE.

@bsoriano should develop "everything"

Hi Bart

Looks spot on now, thanks for the update. Screenshot to show you;


One thing, I'm sorry to be a pest, is there anyway you could do something similar with the albums view ? Increase album overview text box, and put Release : and Genre : before the metadata and remove the gap between the release and genre lines like what you did with Born and Formed for Artists in Fanart view ?

Maybe move the box up so it doesn't overlap ?

Like this ?

@treboR2Robert , I can't move the box up really, but I can move the list a little bit down:



What do you think?

These changes are already on GitHub.  Music items will look like that (artists, albums, songs).

Looks better yes.

I think there needs to be a bit more gap though, it looks a little cramped
