RE: Arctic Fuse - paradisebuster44 - 2024-08-29

Hi! I am setting up Arctic Fuse and want to populate the hub with pre-built widgets but when I tap on pre-built it gives a "Skin Variables" error on the top left. Any fix for this?

Here is the log - https://paste.kodi.tv/anedozicex.kodi

Hi all. I made a "Documentary" category with "Adventure Documentary Film" Widgets and "Adventure Documentary Series" Widgets. I was wondering if it was possible to merge the two into a single "hybrid" (film/TV series) ?

Yes, you can do it using the 'Skin Variables' addon. You launch it and then select Add New, then reach the first Path, and when prompted, the second Path. Follow the various other settings (e.g., sort method, etc.) and then save it with a name. In the skin settings, you can call up those you have created in a widget.
That's all

Sending you props and a coffee as I am highly impressed by this skin and really happy to see this high level of development and maintenance. Keep up the nice work. 👍

There is just a minor thing.. I would like to have a vertical scroll in the library view while still using Posters. Did I miss some setting or is it not implemented (yet)?


RE: Arctic Fuse - Bindou - 2024-09-04

@PeterPetersson This has not been implemented. However, it is possible to display a "grid" view by clicking down if the option has been activated. This makes manual searching easier. (This Skin is indeed excellent and is approaching perfection every day, thanks to the intelligence and openness of its creator)


RE: Arctic Fuse - Bindou - 2024-09-04

Thanks @jeppix, I don't know if this will really create a hybrid Widget (Movie/Series), but I'll try.


RE: Arctic Fuse - paradisebuster44 - 2024-09-04

I wanted to add the side menu favourites to the main page. For this I edited the widget link to "Favourites://". Now I can see the widget and all my favourites but it doesn't show any information about the movie/tv show like it shows in other menus.
Is there a way to fix this?

Hi @jurialmunkey,

A suggestion I was thinking of, in terms of how the Version Manager looks.

The current window displays the films more as a list, and includes the movie thumbnail below the poster, in which there aren't many good thumbnail art options to choose from. It appears that the Arctic Fuse Version Manager window is a lightly-customized version of the stock Kodi feature. It would be nice if this feature was as heavily customized as the rest of your skin. I was thinking of a way to display it in a poster-based layout row, to mimic how the library looks. I made a mock-up, I am not a skinner, so please forgive anything that is outside what Kodi can do, it is more to communicate an idea rather than provide instructions.

Current looks like this

I think it would look better as something like this. If there were multiple versions that couldn't fit in one window width, it would scroll to the right.

Thanks for your efforts on maintaining this skin.

looks good, better put your suggestions here https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arctic.fuse/discussions


RE: Arctic Fuse - Morpheus9057 - 2024-09-05

Hello,
You said in this post :
For HDR: This isn't currently working simply because I haven't implemented support for the HDRType flag yet. That will be coming.

Did you implement that in the latest version of Fuse ?
If Yes, could I use the data to build Smart List? (ie : All the Films in Dolby Vision)
Thank you for your feed back.

The studio name that appears in my NFO is "<studio>Voltage Pictures</studio>", but it does not appear in the bottom right of the skin. However, I have checked that the studio icon exists in "resources.images.studios.coloured", and it exists in the list.

What is the reason for not appearing in the skin?

Another question. The flags in the movie information (4K, Bluray, Web-DL, HDR10, Dolby Vision...) do not appear. I only see FHD and 4K (1080p and 2160p), the audio channels and the audio type. The other flags I have not managed to appear. Do I have to rename them in any particular way?

Thanks for the great work done on this skin.

Best regards.

Studio names for the logos are pulled from TMDbHelper online info, so that's why what's in the nfo won't change the logo. It's not ideal but is necessary as a workaround for multiple studio names.

The main issue with local info is that when there are multiple studios the image will always fail because there isn't going to be a logo png with all the studio names combined. Ideally, Kodi would have a way for a skin to get only the first studio from the nfo but unfortunately that's not possible. So the workaround is to use the online info from TMDbHelper since that already splits the studios into individual properties.

EDIT: I might add a toggle for this to prefer local nfo for studio logo first, that way get best of both worlds -- if your library is setup with single studios then can enable that to have more control.

RE: Filename flags. I stopped using these because I'm really not a fan of basing codec info on a filename. I only get codec info which is retrieved from the actual streamdetails (e.g. ListItem.VideoCodec)

For HDR: This isn't currently working simply because I haven't implemented support for the HDRType flag yet. That will be coming.

For Bluray/DVD etc. based on filename tags: I won't be implementing these because these won't be necessary once the new Movies Versions feature is added (see the forum banner).

Once the Versions feature makes it into Kodi main it will be possible to manage multiple versions of a movie from a single library entry -- e.g. if you have bluray and a dvd version, these will now be one entry where you can pick the version to watch rather than having separate library entries for each version (which is the main reason for the flags -- to differentiate them).

RE: Arctic Fuse - matt382 - 2024-09-05

I'm trying to understand this skin more fully and attempting to create a submenu that is available in the pre-configured widgets.

special://skin/extras/hub/movies/titles/

When I create a submenu I am not able to navigate to the above directory. I can place a generic submenu there and then edit the action to match the preconfigured, but the resulting outcome is not the same. Instead of having the groups by alphabet the result is just a submenu called "Titles". Thank you in advance Smile


RE: Arctic Fuse - PeterPetersson - 2024-09-05

Ah thank you! Yeah I was hoping for a general wall mode. But actually I find this idea of combining it with the filter view pretty cool. This skin really is incredible.

I'm currently using a skin that has a wall mode for library. I opened it the other night and my wife said, "No Way!" it was just overwhelming for her to see a giant wall of over 500 movies. The sub groups seems like a great compromise. Now just to learn how to implement it in a way that makes sense to me.


RE: Arctic Fuse - lifeofastro - 2024-09-11

Is there a way to increase the number of "categories" shown. When changing the categories from "Icon" to "Detailed, it increased the amount of categories being shown on the screen but I would like to manually increase the amount of categories being shown myself
