I know i can only use png for transparent images. Is it possible to add a png as default background?

I hope it makes sense to you! https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.aura/issues/12(2018-06-08, 05:24)jurialmunkey Wrote: DTS-X and Atmos media flags are not supported by Kodi because of a limitation in ffmpeg. Kodi can't decode Atmos and DTS-X natively - those codecs only work via bitstream passthrough. Any skin that shows these flags is just faking it by using part of the filename to determine whether to show it or not. For me personally, I think filename checks should only be used for information about the source (e.g. whether it came from a bluray, dvd, or webrip for example), and not for information about how it is encoded.Thanks for your response. And of course, it makes sense! Thank you so much to implement and deploy this user story! I really appreciate that!

Maybe i can change the opacity of the default background and let the fanart decide the colour of the background. (When i change 'default.jpg' will that affect the background?) That's not how default.jpg is used. Default.jpg is the fallback image that is used only when no fanart is available. Fanart/fallback goes on the very most bottom layer and the colour overlay and dim etc. are added on top. Anyway, you don't need to modify any files to get the effects that you want. Just use the Blur effect in the skin. I achieved these with the following settings: Skin Settings > Effects > Background Transparency: Increased Skin Settings > Effects > Background overlay (DISABLE) Skin Settings > Effects > Background vignette (DISABLE) Skin Settings > Effects > Blur fanart (ENABLE) Skin Settings > Effects > Only use blur in info dialog (DISABLE) Then in Skin Settings > Effects > Advanced settings for colorbox Effect Type = Blur Blur Radius = 10 Image Quality = 8 Blend = 100 You can change what image is used as fanart fallback in Skin Settings > Background > Set fallback image If you are using blur you probably want to use a fallback image that is colourful to get a nice effect. You can also experiment with enabling Skin Settings > Effects > Background vignette I think it gives a nice effect: RE: Aura - joostzilla - 2018-06-17 (2018-06-17, 01:44)jurialmunkey Wrote:Thanks for the explanation.

Blurred fanart is placed behind this background and makes for a slight change in colour due to the colour of the blurred fanart. Can i replace the vignette file with a semi transparent png as overlay for the fanart? This would give the colour of the fanart a hint of theme color. Like in Plex. Anyhow, i will experiment with it. RE: Aura - Saviera - 2018-06-17 @jurialmunkey Loving this skin more and more the longer I use it. I've even become converted to the horizontal menu. I do have a request: is it possible to list the set, if applicable, and tags in the information section of a particular video file?

They now show in the list of additional information at the bottom of the video info screen (you have to scroll down the bottom to see them). RE: Aura - jurialmunkey - 2018-06-18 (2018-06-17, 18:01)joostzilla Wrote: Thanks for the explanation. Very much appreciated :-) No need to replace any files. You can tweak the amount that the background is faded in the skin.aura/colors/defaults.xml file Code: <color name="FanartDim_Reduced">bb181818</color> Depending on your settings (vignette on/off and transparency reduced/increased), just modify the appropriate setting. The first two digits of the code are for the alpha channel (transparency level) of the fanart dim in hexadecimal. 00 is no dim, and FF is completely opaque. 8b is about 55% opacity (default setting). So assuming transparency is set to increased and the vignette is enabled, change the 8b value to something lower to show more of the fanart. BTW, you need to reload the skin after changing the values to see the effect. With vignette turned on and transparency at increased, you can get a nice effect by setting the alpha to 00 Code: <color name="FanartDim_Increased">00181818</color> If you still want to alter the vignette and overlay pngs, they can be found in skin.aura/media/common vignette-white.png is used for the colour overlay. vignette-full.png is used for the actual vignette effect. RE: Aura - PE1949 - 2018-06-18 Cool Skin jurialmunke I use Video_TS structure (DVD) When using yoru skin and looking at EXtras category on Move Infor (I on keyboard) I can see the extras listeded with filename but it does nothing when I press on the Extra. If I have an Mp4 in the extras folder it plays ... why not for Video_TS .... the film plays ok ?

(quality isn't great since i grabbed it from a remote screen) Hope you like it though. Video: Custom Vignette example RE: Aura - olympus - 2018-06-18 I love this skin. Well done jurialmunkey. I have a question. Since this seems to be a mouse friendly skin, there is a mouse compatibility option in skin's settings, can you add some things for making PVR to work better with mouse? Can you please add the scrollbar in PVR EPG view like Confluence and Estuary? Also it would be nice if you added a scrollbar in Next Aired script. RE: Aura - Saviera - 2018-06-18 Thank you! Very much appreciated. RE: Aura - supersmilers - 2018-06-18 (2018-06-18, 09:01)jurialmunkey Wrote:Looks great!
