RE: Titan skin version 3.7.x (Kodi 17 Krypton) - User 224999 - 2017-03-14 (2017-03-13, 07:09)teedo42 Wrote: All issues are the same after update. Hmmm, I will look again at the rotating widgets within a few days, it's really a terrible feature I wish I had never introduced in the skin ;-) As for animated fanart. You do know that you have to enable that seperately in the skin settings ? I created a seperate toggle for it as most users prefer the posters but do not like the animated fanart. RE: Titan skin version 3.7.x (Kodi 17 Krypton) - User 224999 - 2017-03-14 (2017-03-13, 14:11)HumanGoing Wrote: You were right, after I reset my shorcuts and manually redid them, the problem disappeared. However, when I tried resetting my shortcuts and restoring the backup, the problem reappeared. But I'm pretty sure you are right and the issue was on my end. If you don't want to loose your previous shortcuts set-up you may send me the skinbackup so I can try to figure out the issue and solve it manually for you. (2017-03-13, 14:11)HumanGoing Wrote: I figured it had something to do with that. That was actually intentional on my part. I had wanted to use the square submenu on some home menu items, but I wanted both submenu pop up and square submenu disabled for one of them. That was my attempt at a solution. In that case you simply delete the items on the submenu and the submenu will be gone ;-) (2017-03-13, 14:11)HumanGoing Wrote: I had one more question, when you are using the square submenu option, it partially shifts up when you scroll down a widget and becomes partially obscured. Is it at all possible to have the square submenus stay stationary when you scroll down a widget? No, that's not possible because the square submenu is in the same panel/container as the widgets. This is done to have the maximum available space for the widgets. In case of the vertical submenu this takes a little space so the widgets do not fit in full. You might want to consider changing to a different (less high) widget layout.

I have many file locations setup in the file manager, but none of them show up as options in the backup settings. It only lets me choose folders within the Kodi app folder - I can't back out any farther than that on the Apple TV. Yes it is true. Did you press the back button long enough ? I fyou keep hitting the back button you will eventually end up on the listing showing all locations. It's a bit confusing, I know.

Thanks for the offer, but I've already set everything back up the way I like it again!

Really, I'm just being difficult. It's not actually an issue. (2017-03-14, 00:41)marcelveldt Wrote: No, that's not possible because the square submenu is in the same panel/container as the widgets.

I didn't even know the setting existed. I just tried unchecking every view except horizontal, the only one I use. I went to browse the library. It won't budge until the drive(s) spin -up. I can hear the drive spinning up while it's stalled. Once the drive has spun-up, I can navigate..... until I come upon a title that resides on another drive that has not spun up yet. Once it too spins up, I can resume navigating until I come upon yet another drive containing that metadata and have to wait again. Attempting to navigate by holding down the scroll results in a crash every time. Again, I don't know if it's just my system or if this is prevalent for everyone. While the artwork is "cached" as thumbnails, there are two 'reference' pathways to those thumbnails. Case one is when the metadata reference is actually available in the Kodi databases. In this case, the skin can look up the metadata directly from the database and obtain the 'cached' path to the thumbnail. In this case no reference to the actual backing file system is required. Case two is when the metadata reference is not available in the Kodi video/music database (e.g. extrafanart, posters, banners). In this case, while Kodi still *reads* the files from the thumbnail 'cache', it can't get the reference from the video/music database directly. It seems to do a query on the filesystem to get 'path information' and then using the filename it then looks up the thumbnail location in the texture database. So the reference info is still obtained from the filesystem. (You can see this if you watch Kodi with a tool like the sysinternals 'procmon' -- this only works for windows, of course). It's the query on the file that causes the 'blocking' system call while your disks spin up. I'm not sure you can avoid all occurrence of case two 'lookups' unless you were to actually make extensions to the Kodi video/music database. My solution for Kodi and every other media centre I've used (MCE, Plex, Emby, etc.) is to run disks 'always on'. Since my media is stored in a RAID/ZFS/Storage Spaces type system, the 'always on' option with disks that are designed to be 'always on' (e.g. WD RED) is a natural one for me. The thumbnail solution still helps with performance as the media can be loaded from an SSD instead of slower drives (local or network). my 2 cents. RE: Titan skin version 3.7.x (Kodi 17 Krypton) - HumanGoing - 2017-03-14 Oh, and I'm using 3.7.53 now, and the issue of widgets (when you have 5 or more in the multiple widgets, single row view) scrolling off screen in the vertical view is still present. Thanks!

Why can't/isn't the metadata reference extended to the db as in case 1? Why should the file system query for path info when the data that needs to be read could be contained in the db? Sort of negates the whole need for a cache in the 1st place if it's going to do a confirm reference by calling up the source to read. The only examples I could think of is for those that do not permanently populate source folders with metadata and/or those that only have one drive. Sort of screws the rest of us.....

It's the least I could do. Ready when you are. RE: Titan skin version 3.7.x (Kodi 17 Krypton) - Lyvean - 2017-03-14 Can someone please tell me how to remove the recordings widget that takes up valuable space in the main screen, is empty and of generally no use for me? Is this a bug? Can someone please answer so I don't ask the same question over and over again? There are more important things to discuss about this amazing skin. RE: Titan skin version 3.7.x (Kodi 17 Krypton) - axion - 2017-03-14 I just found a bug in the new beta version. With netflix v1 or v2 layouts, if you select auto-rotate widgets, select 5 second interval, then you disable auto-rotate....it still rotates. annoying. how can i turn it off for good? Edit: I had to edit the settings file and set "widgets_rotate_delay" to 0. RE: Titan skin version 3.7.x (Kodi 17 Krypton) - snarfo - 2017-03-14 Small bug: When customizing the Power menu items, changing the thumbnail to 'none' still leaves a thumbnail when cycling through the shutdown/restart/exit choices.

You can't delete the pvr recordings widget from the skin menu widget settings? RE: Titan skin version 3.7.x (Kodi 17 Krypton) - cyrisb - 2017-03-14 After the most recent update 3.7.53, Kodi crashes every time I try to start a video. After switching to Estuary, the crashing stopped. I am running Kodi 17 on Windows 10.
