RE: [ALPHA] Estuary - Kodis new default skin - ymca - 2017-01-16

I have tried to lower the volume (with a mouse wheel) in the radio and the music module, but could not see a volume icon or any change.
Code:
<global>
<mouse>
   <wheeldown>VolumeDown</wheeldown>
   <wheelup>VolumeUp</wheelup>
</mouse>  
</global>

When using the keyboard it's working, so it's a skin problem?

feature Requests:
- an option to hide the menu on pause after some timeout (and show it like the play control buttons that only come when you move the mouse). I love pretty video stills and funny frozen faces on pause. I tried to do this myself but couldn't find the right place in the code.
- allow favourites as the home screen

Thanks for this skin, it's lovely <3 and makes more sense than the old one!

In Custom Shutdown Timer, when you type the time till shutdown it's not very visible, especially on different color schemes than the default one. Would be nice if text color can be changed to white instead of the color of scheme.

Well, then everybody that hates horizontal menus would write something like this...

I think it's good they made the menu vertical. Now we can bring up/down buttons on the remote to the same amount of usage as left/right. Big Grin

Hi, on Estuary v2 could you add more widgets and a manager to set them in the home subcategory?
The Last viewed channel in TV, for example, is not the best for the privacy. If you see Brazzer TV (or other porn channels) from SAT tuner (or other) you'll see them in pole position. This is an embarrassing situation on a living room HTPC.
Maybe, give us the possibility to set "Last recorded channels" intead of the "last channel viewed", for who has this need, could help to avoid a lot of poor figure. XD
Thanks a lot

1. Please keep subtitles allways visible. It is visible in confluence and amber skins, but it is really bad in estuary. Every time I pause a restart or jump some seconds (seeking), the subtitles get covered by the progress bar and the timer... It is really disturbing.
I recommend not to show progress bar, timers on the bottom, it is better to show these on the top of the screen. Similar like in amber or confluence.

This post shows the problem:

2. Also, it is not necessary to show the title and time etc. when you hit pause or play, it is rather disturbing. Confluence does it in the right way, only shows a small progress bar and small timers on the top.

You can move non hardcoded subtitles via settings if you like

As always a big thanks to phil and everyone working on the skin for the continous improvements.

Is the label for the Movie widgets (WidgetListPoster) removed? If it has been removed, can you please bring it back.Thanks

Does anyone know how to add an option such as "Queue item" or "Play from here" to the music widgets context menu? So you can play albums from the main music screen.


To phil65, personally I think the inital version you created with Piers was a great starting point, it renewed my interest for Kodi again. However the current version is not as exciting as the original one. The categories are too big, It detoriates the whole layout.

Tha subtitles are on the right place, no need to move them. The progress bar and the timers are on wrong place. See confluence with subtitles and press pause / play or seek. This is, how it is working right.
And almost forgotten: thank you for the great work!

Well you could write a python addon for that.
But it's something we hope to add to the core with Leia. Those context menus are not as straight forward to migrate to the new system.

Thanks for the quick response. I am abit confused, how would I go about writing such an addon that can queue the widgets on the home screen when selected??
Or do you mean an addon with the option to queue music and add it as a widget to the home screen? I tried the latter and it failed, I didn't look into it tho.

It'll be good to see such an option in v18, however it would be great to have it for this release. I know you said it is not straight forward but which folders/files should I be looking at it if I want to implement such an option in v17.

I presume Estuary V2 is the one coming with Krypton?
