I can't edit it by highlighting and pressing OK button on my simple remote in the settings screen to get to any dialog box and it's not showing any up/down arrows to change values either. @Kr1ss. Thanks for the reply. That's strange then because when I Press the OK Button nothing changes. I do hear the button press sound but the time value doesn't change. Have tried with another keyboard remote but that's the same, button press sound but value doesn't change. Thought it might have been due to the 17.1 upgrade but I have also tested on another android box which is still at 17.0 and it too won't allow me to change the time setting.

Hmm I'm sorry I can't explain that... For me it's working with 17.0 as well as 17.1. Maybe somebody else can reproduce this and/or has got a solution ?

That's strange then because when I Press the OK Button nothing changes. I do hear the button press sound but the time value doesn't change. Have tried with another keyboard remote but that's the same, button press sound but value doesn't change. I always try to add precautions that would ensure the setting is working. In this instance, if nothing is selected, it defaults to five seconds. The very first time you click the toggle, it will actually select the first value, which, again is five. Everything after that goes in a preset circle, with incremental increases of the set values. From what you've described, it looks like the default five seconds haven't been set by the skin upon the update that brought the setting. Therefore, you can't enter the circle, so to speak. I'm always adding new skin settings, and while with the precautions I take, everything works most of the time, there's going to be glitches up the wazoo, especially when dealing with complex settings like this, with many options that impact the whole skin. The only way to guarantee that the settings I add-in are properly applied would be to delete the skin's settings.xml file (userdata/addon_data/skin.eminence.2.mod.Krypton) from the userdata folder, boot up Kodi, and readjust the settings to your preference. If you don't want to do that, which I understand, then you need to tackle these situations on an individual basis. In this case, you could go inside the settings.xml and add the setting manually. Code: <setting id="rotationlimit" type="string">2</setting> The "rotationlimit" is the setting in question, the number is the value selected. 1 is five seconds 2 is ten seconds, etc. By setting any number, you should in effect force the skin to acknowledge the setting, and jumpstart the proper behaviour. After this, it should work from within the skin. There's a chance that you already have the setting in the file, but without any value attached to it. Many situations are possible... Let me know if you've made progress! RE: EMINENCE 2 MOD (REVIVED) - Alanon - 2017-03-23 Just a small heads-up, the update that's in the repo has finally introduced a RightList view. It's a bit rough around the edges, but I'm hoping that we can all polish it out together.

In my opinion it's a nice idea to show some additional info only on the highlighted list item. One proposal, what do you think about giving the info text a bit more space ? Maybe if it was as tall as the poster image ? (I hope “tall“ is to the correct adjective in English) Thanks a lot for all your work and effort, again ! RE: EMINENCE 2 MOD (REVIVED) - powermarcel10 - 2017-03-23 Hi guys, is it just me or is the changelog option gone for addons since Krypton.. I like to see what has been changed in addons when update(s) are available. Is this due to the skin? Or not available anymore.

What info would you like to see in the focused item? At the moment I've added ratings and years. I was planning to add things like genre, directors, writers, etc just above the plot, maybe add colour hightlights... but that is all fine-tuning. Once it's clear what info goes where, I can add a toggle in the submenu that adjusts the layout (height, etc.) (2017-03-23, 17:49)powermarcel10 Wrote: Hi guys, is it just me or is the changelog option gone for addons since Krypton.. I like to see what has been changed in addons when update(s) are available. Is this due to the skin? Or not available anymore. Yes, the reading the changelog.txt and the changelog button were removed from Krypton entirely, I don't understand why. The new method is to add the changelog entries into the addon.xml using the <news> tags. However, most devs haven't done this, so there's no way of seeing what's new. :/ All this is fully implemented in the skin, so you don't need to worry. You will see the changelog button whenever there are proper entries in the addon.xml, and it will display properly. Otherwise there won't be a button at all. You can test this by clicking the changelog while in the add-on info for the skin.

I found the solution for me for the background. Just delete the line completely. No gradient at all. If you are using a dark menu bar as I am it works perfectly. Not sure if this is something you can add to settings or not for everyone else. Thank you Alanon for your work and dedication to answering all our questions RE: EMINENCE 2 MOD (REVIVED) - cruachan - 2017-03-23 (2017-03-23, 16:02)Alanon Wrote:(2017-03-23, 14:09)jdig4240 Wrote: . First off, congrats and thanks for the RightList view (and all the other improvements), much appreciated. Maybe a few tweaks but already my favourite view, especially for Music Artists. Mixed news with the RotationLimit values. I followed your suggestion to edit the settings.xml (rather then delete it) but the value I had already matched yours. Even so I changed the value again to 3 and reloaded the skin. No difference with the settings screen (still stuck on the default 5 seconds) but the timing of the background changing did alter so I tried a couple of tests by clicking on the 5 second default (I can hear the button press clicks) a few times then reloading the skin each time and looking at the values in the settings.xml I can see they are changing and therefore the timings are changing too. I can't work out a pattern sometimes the values jump i.e. from 3 to 10 even if I press only once and then back to 1,2 & 4 but it does change the timings I just can't scroll through the values so it's very hit-and-miss. I've now tested this on two Android TVBoxes one with Android 6.0.1, Krypton 17.1 and Eminence 2.0 Mod 2.3.3, one TV Box with Android 5.0.1, Krypton 17.0 and Eminence 2.0 Mod 2.3.2 , one HTPC with LibreElec 8.0.0, Krypton 17.0 and Eminence 2.0 Mod 2.3.2 and I even tried it on my LinuxMint 18.1 Desktop , Krypton 17.1 and Eminence 2.3.2. They ALL suffer the same problem so whatever is causing this it's maybe something specific to my setup (Ubuntu NAS Server running Emby with Kodi Clients, or a setting somewhere else in the skin that's having a knock-on effect). It's not a show stopper for me as i can get it to do what I want with random tries and if nobody else is reporting this then only keep looking at it if you've got the time. Am happy to test out any suggestions you do have and report back results - again only if you have the time.

You should literally be changing values in sequence only, since the chain of conditions is orderly. Only having 2 set will lead you to 3, 3 to 4, and so on. So, in theory, if you're skipping that much, that would mean that you are either activating the onclicks with supersonic speeds - or that one onclick counts as several. Could you check if the Plot Overlay timing setting is improperly toggled? (That's "Show plot overlay in video library after delay". When that's enabled, the "Time to show" setting appears.) It's implemented using different values, but uses the same kind of code to toggle between them. Anyways, after you enable it, you have to go to a library item and stay focused on it, but not move anything. The X amount of seconds that passes between your last movement and the overlay displaying should be the set value. You can also try the "Info displayed for episodes" toggle. All this will hopefully reveal if it's a bug with the way Android boxes handle a bunch of conditioned strings in a setting, or if this is an isolated bug relating only to this specific toggle. If worse comes to worse, I can always set up a selection dialog using skin.helper.service, with the full list of available strings. Although that has its own set of issues...

Okay, after toggling through the values in the Plot overlay and confirming that I could see all the values and that the timings were correctly implemented and then going to the Info displayed for episodes and confirming that it worked too I went back to the Backgrounds rotation time and - it has started working! I can see all the values from 5 seconds to 30 minutes and the timings are being applied correctly. On the second TVBox I tried just switching on the Plot overlay and changing the timing to increase by one second and that was enough to reset the Background rotation settings (Just switching the Plot overlay on and off but not changing the time value was not enough to reset things). SHould now be able to reset the others tomorrow but at least it's a workaround/fix. Thanks for all your help, just let me know if you want me to test anything else.

As far as I'm concerned, if you make a German translation, I'll include it in the skin, so everyone can choose. If you, or anyone else for that matter would like to make a translation, just let me know. I'm always available for any questions or corrections. And if you'd like to maintain the translations once you've made them, I'll gladly send you strings to translate before an update happens, so everything can be up to date at the same time. |
