Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - braz - 2015-08-30 Mimic 3.x requires Kodi 16 Jarvis. ***There is an issue where the widgets will disappear if the window closes while they are loading. See http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/16635 Easiest way to bring them back is to reload the skin; there's an option to do that on the shutdown menu. Please let me know if you test and find any other issues, thanks. mimĀ·ic 1. To imitate Synonyms: resemble, look like, have the appearance of watch gallery
Introduction Users of this skin will quickly see the resemblance to two of my favorite skins, Aeon Nox and reFocus. Even as Mimic borrows from both of these skins, my hope is that it will develop into its own style over time. Many thanks to BigNoid for his work on Aeon Nox, on which this skin is based. I've used many of the available skins since discovering XBMC/Kodi, but always returned to one of the Nox variations for its feature set and clear navigation. Also thank you to Jeroen, creator of reFocus, whose clean design and attention to detail were an inspiration for this skin. Mimic also borrows some of the great views from reFocus such as Gallery and BigList. More recently, this skin now "mimics" features from Arctic Zephyr and its mods, fTV, and Phil65's skin. Required Addons These addons will automatically install when installing Mimic from the repository.

The master branch on github is for Jarvis only. The Isengard version was moved to its own branch on github. Please post any support/feature requests regarding the Jarvis version here. Stay tuned for more info... RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - stueeey - 2015-09-01 good to see you are progressing mimic with Jarvis @braz ... I haven't tried Jarvis yet, how stable is it in your view? always keen to assist testing, but also keen to maintain a fairly safe setup.

'Portable Mode' ? give us a clue, is this a new Jarvis feature? or an install method? confused.com RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - braz - 2015-09-01 Guess this only works for Windows though... http://kodi.wiki/view/Windows_FAQ#Portable_mode Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - stueeey - 2015-09-01 (2015-09-01, 19:07)braz Wrote: Guess this only works for Windows though... arrhh Game Over then, all my setups are OSX, shall experiment anyway and report back any issues I find... presume all your new additions/changes shall be geared towards Jarvis? keep up the great work, love using mimic! RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - braz - 2015-09-01 I need to make a few more changes to the Isengard branch. The next Isengard version I submit to the repo will likely be the last feature release for Kodi 15. So only bug fixes after that. Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - stueeey - 2015-09-02 had a play... looks like multiple 'separate' profiles are not supported in Jarvis just yet... unless these are settings you can implement within mimic @braz? seems strange as separate skins are supported, (I can use Confluence for 1 user and mimic for a 2nd user) but when I switch to mimic for both users the settings transpose across all users. colours, custom sections (everything). new user profiles were created as new separate users.

GUI settings were moved to the skin's addon folder for Jarvis. Maybe profile support hasn't been added yet, will check tonight.

Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - stueeey - 2015-09-02 When using the side blade view change to BigWall and changing the Art from Poster to Landscape the Dialogue in the menu stays as 'Poster'.... unless I am mistaken I believe this should change to Landscape, as it appears to do so for Banner & Logo, just not implemented for Landscape. Only thing I have spotted in my observations braz, thanks again. Mimic just keeps getting better! Edit: just noticed the same applies to shift view :-) RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - braz - 2015-09-02 (2015-09-02, 01:59)stueeey Wrote: When using the side blade view change to BigWall and changing the Art from Poster to Landscape the Dialogue in the menu stays as 'Poster'.... unless I am mistaken I believe this should change to Landscape, as it appears to do so for Banner & Logo, just not implemented for Landscape.

Maybe one of the skin settings isn't being populated correctly, will investigate.

I don't use profiles so no idea what is going on, but can't think of any skin code that could be doing this. Going to wait and see on this one... |
