Anyway I think it would be related to NAS reading from net (gigabit anyway) a large amount of files required for the widgets... The only fast ones are the confluence ones, which aren't real widgets anyway.
It should really only take a couple of seconds, on first startup maybe 30 seconds to load all widgets, definitely not minutes.
Also it will get faster in time as content is cached.
If it continues to be slow, please enable the verbose logging option in the skin helper service addon settings. Restart Kodi and wait uintill all widgets/backgrounds are loaded. After that close down Kodi and send me your kodi log file.

Please press ContextMenu while you have the artist AC/DC selected --> Artwork settings --> Auto lookup.
Does that fix it ?

What do you mean by this ? The PVR manager starting up ?
Are you on beta or stable of the skin ?

For example it won't pick Adele up for some reason but the next artist along which is Aerosmith it picks up the disc art. Have tried refreshing the the artwork through the context menu then artwork setting but does not seem to update, so just a heads up for when you get chance to have a look at this or waether this has already been raised by anyone else and been fixed.

Yeah, I noticed this too and fixed it yesterday.
If you want to try the fix, please install the latest beta of the skinhelper addon from the emby repo or wait a few days (as I'm about to update it on the kodi repo)

The Shields do not have extended info installed and all the extended info settings are disabled. On my PC which does have the extended info installed I do not get that screen as the extended info is disabled.

Strange issue... I can't reproduce this one. Can you try to re-assign the widget on a shield device to see if that helps ?

(2016-03-21, 19:40)browned Wrote: The other issue I see is that when I start a tv show from a widget directly (next episodes) when the episode is finished the widget is still down, but there is no default selection. I have to press up twice to get back to the widget. The TV shows logo also seems to be stuck at the top of the screen (half showing). Again this is probably due to there being no default selection. Once I press up twice the default selection and the logo appear correctly. If up is not pressed the home screen is kind of hidden so navigation is difficult.

Yeah, I have seen that a couple of times on my own living room httpc too and every time I notice it and try to reproduce on my dev machine it doesn''t happen :-) Anyway, I have just changed something in the code that might be related. I will provide a new skin-beta tomorrow so please test with that if the issue is fixed.

At least with Kodi 15.2 I experience problems, cdarts not shown during playback, logos not shown in the footer of the list view.

Can you download this:

Just download the file and choose install by zip in the settings --> addons

watched movies have always been hidden from the recently added movies widget. Do you want me to make that optional ?

+1 on this. I've had this issue with Next Up notification and other skins before, I usually try to fix it myself.

All my widgets except for Recently Added Albums take seconds in fact... just that is slow. Ayway here it is the verbose LOG: LINK

Does that fix it ?
Nope. I did it also "live" in the above log. I've browsed many times the whole music library to cache up everything and also tried the Precache option (to speed up things), but no luck...

Latest beta version on Jarvis 16.1 RC1. Anyway it happens this (with your skin only for now): Open Kodi, it hangs a while to load Weather infos (I use Yahoo as provider) and only then it starts collecting the TV channels from backend. I also tried to remove the weather tile/widget from home but nothing changed. Again, with confluence it works fine, weather instantly loaded and also che channel scraping starts immediately at launch.

Anyway I think that the thing that makes your skin heavy and sometimes slow compared to default ones are the Skin Widgets and Shortcuts addons, but those aren't yours right?

Thanks and good night

Hmm, it should load instantly because all info is cached.
If you still have this issue can you do me a favor ?
1. In the addon settings for the skinhelper addon, enable verbose logging.
2. Restart Kodi and wait untill the images are shown.
3. Close Kodi and provide me your Kodi logfile.(please do not enable kodi debug logging)

The new skin helper seems to get the music backgrounds up from the cache. However, Photo backgrounds are still delayed. I did as you suggest and here are some of the indications from the log file: (thread 5712)

watched movies have always been hidden from the recently added movies widget. Do you want me to make that optional ?

While it's always been a little inconsistent to have the widget ignore watched items and the submenu listings show them (optionally), I definitely prefer it that way. Perhaps an option for both is the way to go.


RE: Titan skin version 3.6.x (Kodi 16 Jarvis) - oattes - 2016-03-23

I noticed that disc art does not seem to get 'faked' in the horizontal panel view. My suggested fix is to update two lines in the View_52_HorizontalPanel.xml file. This makes the view use the same mechanism you seem to use for other views for which the disc art is correctly 'faked'.

c.f. lines 40 and 41:

<texture background="true" diffuse="diffuse/cdmask_big.png" fallback="defaultcovers/cd_big.png">$VAR[DiscArtImage]</texture>
<aspectratio scalediffuse="false" align="center" aligny="center">scale</aspectratio>

I'm not sure if the diffuse and fallback specs should be big, medium, or small, but this choice seems to display fine for me. I think the significant change is to use the 'DiscArtImage' variable that you construct elsewhere to contain disk art that is 'real' or faked from a number of potential sources.

Perhaps you could make a more professional (and permanent) fix?

Hi again tried this on my Android box after doing a totally fresh install and not getting any cdart showing automatically now, but if i ask it to search for it through arkwork settings it will then bring the cdart up but if move to the next album down in the list and then go back to previous album the cdart has vanished again. About to try on pc and see if that works and will report back here.

Edit: I have done fresh install on pc and the same thing is happening as with the android box and it is not bringing any of the cdarts up. I can go through the context menu and artwork settings to refresh the cdart but again it is not keeping the cdart in place, its like the Skin Helper Service is not caching the cdart info properly. I alos noticed that on some artists even when refreshing through artwork setting it will still bring nothing up.

Thanks


RE: Titan skin version 3.6.x (Kodi 16 Jarvis) - horstepipe - 2016-03-23

Hey
Titan shows me complete wrong Rotten Tomatoes critics.
E.g. for the movie Zombieland it shows:
"Critics: 7,4% Users: 3,5%"
which makes no sense at all

huh... I think maybe I had a submenu as a widget or something. Anyway, If you could make the 'recently added movies widget' show watched movies, as optional... that would be great!

Thanks for all your hard work !
