Right now I have a SimpleControl setup with a "wide screen" and "HDTV (16:9)" button on the ipad. Wife and kids just hit the "wide screen" button and the PJ will zoom to 21:9 setting. But they will still have to toggle the scope bar button and possibly "21:9 OSD" button on the OSD. It would be nice if I could eliminate this step by sending a JSON-RPC call via HTTP to Kodi.

That way, when 21:9 OSD is selected, the subtitle positions would be moved up to fit within the scope area. When 16:9 OSD is selected, the subtitle position would be moved down. In conjunction with toggling skin scope settings via JSON-RPC, this would be ideal.

I have a 2.35 screen so I changed the custom_1129_ScopeBars.xml to mask for 1920x816. I know this is very OCD of me, but I just want to point it out to any fellow CIH zoomers who noticed the tiny black bars on the screen after scope mask is toggled.

I used this method to change the scopenox settings via remote to make it wife-kids
friendly.

So you can change skin settings via JSON-RPC.
Funkd, I added a few hacks to your ScopeNox skin:

I appended these lines to your addon.py file in your script.scopenox.tools add on:
if sys.argv[1] == '169':
xbmc.executebuiltin('Skin.setbool (osd169)')
xbmc.executebuiltin('skin.reset (scopemask)')

if sys.argv[1] == '219':
xbmc.executebuiltin('Skin.reset (osd169)')
xbmc.executebuiltin('skin.setbool (scopemask)')

then make a json-rpc call from any browser or applications:

http://10.0.0.133:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Addons.ExecuteAddon", "params": {"wait": false, "addonid": "script.scopenox.tools", "params":"169"}}

or

http://10.0.0.133:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Addons.ExecuteAddon", "params": {"wait": false, "addonid": "script.scopenox.tools", "params":"219"}}

or you could bind the key in the keymap: in this example, I used F1, F2
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<key id="61584">RunScript(script.scopenox.tools,169,1)</key>
<key id="61585">RunScript(script.scopenox.tools,219,1)</key>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>

Now if I can only find a way to adjust the absolute subtitle positions via scripting...
Changing subtitle alignment does not work. There seems to be a bug in Kodi 16.1.
You can set subtitle position to fixed and adjust it via video calibration. Once you change the
subtitle alignment: bottom of video, below video, above video, on top of video, fixed you loose
the fixed subtitle alignment. I verified this on FireTV and OSX.

Thank you again Funkd.

I found this Skin and it is fantastic. Kodi runs on a rasp 3 with openelec and your skin.
Here are my two questions.
1. 21:9 movies size setting ist 1,0. 16:9 Movies size setting is 0,76. Is it posible to switch between these settings by one click on a Remote or the original kodiapp on ios?

2. by playing music fullscreen mode the Cover with the turning CD are not displayed completly. What can i do to fix this.

Sorry for my poor english. I hope you understand my questions.

Greetings and thanks for the geat job.

Is there a way to set the scope mask based on the movie meta data. For example, DarkKnight continually switches to imax format. I'd like to have the scope bars turned on when watching these kinds of movies so my PJ isn't projecting onto the ceiling. I know I can create a keyboard shortcut, but i'd really like to set something in the metadata and have ti automatic.

Any ideas?

Regards

I went into add this skin via the zip and I have followed these instructions below (googled it) but I am at the step where you
add the files and all I see are folders and the Kodi Add-on for skins is not finding the correct file within the Scopenox 1.9 folders.

Where is the file that I tell Kodi to select and which file is it?

Installing a skin from zip

If the skin you're wanting isn't available in the official repository, then probably the best option, is to install from zip.

Download the zip file of the skin you would like, or go to the github etc. page and download as zip.

Once you have the zip file, put it onto a usb drive, or local drive so it can be accessed by your XBMC/Kodi device.

In XBMC/Kodi, go to System > Settings > Add-ons > Install from zip. Now browse for your skin's zip file and begin the install. Once the install is finished, you will be asked if you would like the change to the new skin

Hey,
Check this post. You can include the aspect ratio in the folder name of the movie. If you set it to 2.35 or whatever it will automatically put the scope masking on for that movie. So if you did this for and IMAX movie it would put the scope bars on which would cover the imax scenes.
