RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - kashmiri - 2016-03-14

Thanks for great work!

I see no way to tell whether a given film is 3D or more traditional 2D. The earlier skin version displayed a special icon when the film was detected as 3D. I have both 2D and 3D versions of some films in my library, but with the new Mimic I am unable to tell which one is which - unless play each of them. Not a comfortable situation when having guests over for a screening, hope you'll agree Smile

Some skins display icons for 3D, HD and SD already in the list view below film name, I've found it extremely handy. As a matter of fact, I found the list layout in re-Focus 2.0 skin most useful when using a 3D projector + android box set.

Also, audio/sub language codes have gone to a hidden second screen in movie details - is there a way to have them in a more visible / easily accessible place. ideally just somewhere right on movie detail page? I recon this might not be much of an issue for the native English folks who perhaps hardly ever watch non-English films; but the rest of the world often have multilingual film libraries.

Thanks!

Many thanks

I'm going to add a 3D flag to the video info dialog, may even redesign the media flags at the bottom of the dialog. Likely won't add a 3D icon in any of the media views though. Audio/sub languages will likely stay where they are. I could move them to the first page on the video info dialog, but which items would I replace? If I did, others would complain as everyone has a different priority. I could display flag icons for audio/subtitle languages, but I kind of like the 3-letter labels as the country flags are not very descriptive.

Update: I take that back, there is a 3D flag that will be displayed in certain views if the new media flags skin setting is turned on. Check the General section of the skin settings.

In the LowList view, is it possible to add movie information, like HD, sound quality and if the movie is 3D or not. I have no idea which movie is 3D and which movie isn't.
When I had the previous version of Kodi (before Jarvis), it was possible to select a view where you would see this information when you selected the movie.

See the post above yours. The latest version on github includes a setting to display media flags.

Are you sure you updated script.skinshortcuts by downloading the latest zip from it's github page?

Yeah, you can upload a log to a site like pastebin or xbmclogs and link it here. See http://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Easy


RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - dadodd - 2016-03-14

I sent you log

I found one error re: Mimic that I just fixed, shouldn't have caused the widgets to not load though.

FYI, there is no need to PM, I only provide support here on the forum. Why do you need to remove your log anyway? Guessing it's because of the piracy repos you have installed, please review the forum rules. http://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Forum_rules/Banned_add-ons


RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - dadodd - 2016-03-14

I tried this last version ,same thing again..no widget only weather , don't know if anybody else have same problem...


RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - st789 - 2016-03-14

I love the skin but whenever I shutdown Kodi and boot back up my settings are switched back to the default. The only settings changes I've made are to turn on the header and submenus. Any advice?

Did you download the latest Mimic from github today? Because I've made some very recent commits for widgets and everything is working here.

Whenever I've seen this reported on the forum it's usually associated with a community build. Make sure you have a vanila version of Kodi downloaded from kodi.tv.

It's a vanilla version. No builds. Just Jarvis straight from kodi.tv. Running on a firestick.

The only thing I can think of is that I've had other skins installed before this one. Would that be a problem?
