Thanks for the great skin!
In Isengard I used weather fanart (depending on current weather condition) in the homescreen.
In Jarvis/Mimic 3 I cant't find this option. Weather Fanart - Multi is installed.
Is this supported in Mimic 3 on Jarvis?

You are going to run into all kinds of problems if you try to mix and match settings and skin versions, or skin/Kodi versions.


Ok thanks for the quick reply

Go to the weather window and select your preferred weather fanart resource addon from the side menu. Then go to Skin Settings > Home window > Setup menus and widgets and set your menu background to Conditional Weather.

You have to play the playlist for the buttons to show up. Unfortunately there's no way to show them when the item are just queued.

These should work.
Code:
<visible>!StringCompare(Playlist.Length(video),0)</visible>

<visible>!StringCompare(Playlist.Length(music),0)</visible>

Ok, just pushed an update that implements the tips from Mike Silvo. You should now have 2 buttons in the side menu, one for music playlists and the other for video. They will show up if anything is queued in the playlists, they don't have to be playing.

Great! Many, many thanks - Will give it a try when back at home Smile

EDIT: Works perfectly!

Loving this theme :}
Is it possible to create a short cut to skin settings? from the settings sub menu, also how does one set up widgets?


RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - Bridgwater - 2016-02-25

Hi Braz,

I am not sure if this is skin related or Jarvis related but I updated from 15.2 to 16 trying to watch star trek voyager on tv shows, sometimes it can be fine and carry on playing the next episode, and then sometimes it will stop at the menu system, I hit play on the next episode, and it plays it black screen with audio, you stop it and then start it again and now it is playing video but like it is flashing the video so not watchable.

I done a fresh install of Jarvis and a fresh install of the skin last night, but again no joy, so I am going to try another skin tonight just to see if it happens on that.

I will report back to say if it is skin related or other.

You can fully customize the menus and widgets in Skin Settings > Home window > Setup menus and widgets.

Highly doubt it is skin related, check your video settings in Jarvis.
