RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - User 206796 - 2016-03-16 Re:the settings section; 1)One advantage of the former design was the ability to see all categories without scrolling. 2 rows of 6 icons would be preferable over the current 2 rows of 5 icons with 2 additional categories that you have to scroll to see in an incomplete 3rd row. 2)Category descriptions are gone. They are quite useful. Perhaps a footer description when each category is highlighted can be added. Thanks again.

Addons isn't really a settings category, it just loads the addon browser. And skin settings is already available inside the Appearance category. 2) The thumbnails view isn't setup to show descriptions, can't really add them without completely redesigning the view. I prefer the current layout and don't see any compelling reasons to change it. RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - axlt2002 - 2016-03-17 Hi braz, While I'm struggling with the addition of a new view option in the skin (I will meke it!!!!), I was wondering if you can help me with the current widget visualization. The point is just restricted to the TV Shows. It would be nice in fact that also for the Shift visualization (and having selected the Landscape option for the icons) the results would be like the Panel visualization, i.e. showing the episode thumbnails instead of the serie's fanart: Shift + Landscape Panel + Landscape I'm asking this because I really prefer the Shift visualization, but I find it really "repetitive" if the fanart is displayed instead of the episode "snaphot". Thanks in advance for your usual help! RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - braz - 2016-03-17 @axlt Will fix this, thanks for pointing it out. Update: Now fixed on github.

RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - exzemat - 2016-03-18 In Video/genre, when I use icons, some category have not icon : for exemple (I'm french) : "comedie", "horreur". other have icon : "western" "sci-fi" it's seems that the problem is when the name is different betwen french/english (comedie/comedy, horreur/horror)... RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - exzemat - 2016-03-18 In Music/visualisation, we can select background. I like "pixeled fanart" and "artist slideshow", would be great to mix this two background. Is it possible to create/add "pixeled artist slideshow"?

Let me know if you find another skin that is able to show video genre icons for other languages.

It looks like your location infolabel is empty, what weather provider are you using? I just tried Yahoo, Weather Underground, and OpenWeatherMap Extended, and they all displayed the location on my system. I updated the PVR infoline to remove "Channel: ", didn't feel it was needed and this will hopefully keep this one from getting too long.

I use bossanova808's OzWeather provider because the larger, global providers tend not to use Aussie data for Australian weather and consequently current temp is often wrong and forecasts are not accurate. I'll check in with him. Thanks braz.

RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - Marauder2 - 2016-03-19 Hi I'm new to the forums and have a question. Tried a quick search to find an answer but couldn't find one. I'm using Kodi 16.0 on Windows 10, with the latest Mimic skin applied, and I'm trying to get rid of the infinite scroll on the home page. I changed the scrolling to "fixed" but the scrolling goes back to the start once you pass the end, any way to fix this? Thanks. RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - braz - 2016-03-19 Added an option for icons on the main menu. Only available on the vertical menu layout. Also fixed the animations on the vertical layout.

When using the fixed main menu, pressing right from the end will still return you to the beginning of the menu. Fixed just means that if you hold down left/right, it will stop at the end (and if you only have a few items, it won't show duplicates). RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - User 206796 - 2016-03-20 Latest version from github with home menu icons prevents the now playing video background from appearing on the home screen. Reverting back to the previous version fixes it. Also last few versions I have to keep reloading the skin to see codec info on videos. Stopping a video and starting a different video requires reloading the skin to see codec info. |
