Can you tell me how you do this, i tried but nothing happens. In the home menu i activated the artwork animation and take a gif poster and put in the movie folder but nothing happens. Sorry for my english.

I have no idea. I haven't downloaded or put any animated art anywhere..that's why I asked here.does this skin automatically download it for us when we choose the option in settings, ?

Hello

Has anybody (marcelveldt) an idea?

The skin helper feature is quite cool, the fact that the PVR guide is enhanced with fanart and clearlogos etc is just awesome. However, I've noticed that sometimes the images collected by skin helper are not always correct or are not the right kind of image.

Is there a way that you can add the ability to change the image that's being displayed through the use of the context menu or something?

The skin.helper service seems to download multiple images for any given show, but we don't have the ability to change the image being displayed if we don't like it.
The only way I've been able to do this is by adding the appropriate image manually by downloading it from the internet, renaming it and overwriting the image that I want to replace in the addon_data pvrthumbs folder.

Cheers,
Loggio.

I am using the Random Albums widget. The widget only updates when I restart Kodi. Is there a way to fix this?

I would like to see an option for refreshing the widget as well, but I honestly have no idea how to do it! (Aside from restart or updating the shortcut menu -- which also drives a refresh). Where would you put the 'action' button if it should be triggered by the user? Should it be periodic? I'm not sure that would work too well... perhaps a user configurable interval?

If you're still experiencing this issue, can you help me out by providing some more info ?

1. Skin version
2. Version of skin helper service (you can look up the version in video addons section)
3. Is the cdart not showing up in ALL views ? Fo example does it work with Big List view ?
4. Does the cdart show up on the OSD when you play a song ?
5. Do you have the cdart files on disk ? If yes, how is your folder structure on disk ?

As I'm on Ubuntu the gifs are saved in -/.kodi/userdata/Thumbnails/animatedgifs

Dropping gifs in to the video folder doesn't appear to work for me either, so would second loggio's request above for the option to browse to artwork to save us from messing around renaming files or switching to Confluence in order to browse to gifs for items not recorded on the animated poster db.

Also, when adjusting the volume the indicator doesn't always appear straight away. I adjusted the volume whilst watching something earlier and the indicator actually flashed up a good ten minutes after making the adjustment.

Please note, not complaints just information/feedback and it looks like you guys are all over it.

Keep up the amazing work folks, and may all the joy your work brings return to you manifold.

You know, or something like that.

3. OK, the cdart inside the views will be fixed in next update, that was in fact an issue with some views I overlooked.

4. Are you using normal OSD or the slim variant ?

Since Titan has multiple home screens so what this button does now is bring me back to the main level for what ever section I happen to be navigating at the time (Movies, TV etc).

What I would like to happen is when I hit a button on my remote, no matter where I am in Kodi it to go to a specific home screen.

Is this possible?

Is it possible to map multiple command to a home button ?

If so, you could try the following actions (in the correct order):

Skin.SetString(HomeLayout, xxxx) --> Set the homelayout (replace xxxx with the correct home layout, see below)
ActivateWindow(Home) --> navigate to home

It's worth a shot.

values for homelayouts:

netflix --> netflix layout
netflix2 -->netflix new layout
win10 --> windows 10 layout
enhanced --> all in one enhanced
simplevertical --> simple vertical
verticalbig --> big vertical

Just try first with some of the above examples, if it works I can provide you the complete list of possible home layouts

I'm using the normal OSD which shows only the blank cdart (that's the problem) ...

For avoid missunderstanding: My problem is that I only see blank cdart on the OSD, when I'm playing music. It can't be an Emby problem because I see my cdarts with other skins I tested (Aeon Nox, Aeon MQ, modded Confluence, etc.) ...

Also, can you cut/paste your feature requests into the feature requests thread for the skin please ?
That way it won't get lost in the current discussion. I will for sure look at it once the lock issue is resolved.

Most of the time video freezes, audio still continues, but sometimes both. Have to hard reset to continue.
