I love this skin, as most of us do, however it is not Netflix and it never will be, it is Kodi. I had a free trial of Netflix and I thought that the select was rubbish, however despite hating black Kodi skins, and was glad for more colorful or even just plain white. I was still using Kodi.

I am still using Kodi now and of course buying and ripping (coughs, coughs even more, and COUGHS even louder) all of my DVD's and Blu ray's.

However, there is part of my brain, no matter how much coughing I do, it just does not feel the same, and it never will do. If it is free and easy, then you are married, if you have to pay for it, then it gives you a better buzz. Divorce and breaking up excluded from this.

Yes if you want a 100% clone, then this is 1% imperfect, however when you turn on circular navigation, change the start up intro videos, then you can almost forget that it is Kodi.

If I had a guest come visit, then the majority of people might not tell the difference, but because you know that it is Kodi, it is always in your head.

Lol you are 100% right of course but its kind of become an obsession for us Netflix/Bingie fans at this point too far down the rabbit hole to turn back now.

In addition to what's available by default, you can also add search results for music videos / music (artists/albums/songs) and results from youtube.
If the keyboard does not fit your needs, you can enable 'complete keyboard' option that will add a keyboard icon in search window that will take you to the full keyboard layout.
For Nvidia shield users - after opening up the 'complete keyboard' a long-press on any keyboard key will open the google assistant so you could record your search query.

So when I load up, it hits static screen then animation.

If I walked in and saw it in action, I would not know the difference, but because I know what is running, then I can semi forget.

You can even change the logo for the back end to replace the bingie if you so wish.

I still know that it is Kodi though lol

Some great points. Personally, I've never subbed to Netflix or seen their UI. I just like Bingie because it's a highly customization Kodi skin where you can view episode plot details on widgets and has multiple widget support as well as PVR artwork lookup support. I also love how you can view all widgets from home, they're not segregated into specific TV Show/Movie pages like some skins. Previously, I used fuse(neue) but it didn't have multiple widget row support or a home view with all widgets. I love Bingie because 99% of the time I can just go up, down, left and right to what I want to watch, read the plot and then press okay to instantly play.

I used these values and sure enough the spotlight pictures on the home page and info screen are back to .2 size but the shadowing on the left on the spotlight on the home page is way too big any idea how to shrink it back down to size?

That's the design I chose here. If you're mid-watching a tv show you should know what's it about, aren't you? for 'choosing' what to watch, just put a tvshow widget, not an episode (makes more sense...)  

But then it doesn't autoplay the next episode. One more click to the prcoess. Anyway, is there any way to overwrite the XML? 

I agree with @louisefindlay23 it is just one more click for the process. I also extremely dislike how it doesn't auto-play the next episode, that was one of the main features of this skin I enjoyed the most.

Ah, interesting affects you have recieved. I am going to play around with the shadowing for you to see if I can shrink it back down to the proper 1.0.2 size.

That's an layer of gradient for the image itself used to mask it. the issue with the current one is that the gradient is too 'soft' so it takes a lot of the border (left and bottom).
Anyone with graphics skill/better-than-me-search-google-abilities could find/make one. test it out by replacing the texture diffuse mask and send me to share, till now haven't found a better replacement.
