I'm currently switching the spotlight on home to have the play and info to show below all the text just like Netflix. I'm about 98% there and will check when I'm finished.  

Thanks, I'm actually using Bingie Landscape. The main reason I'm trying to do this setup is because of Bingie Look. I've messing a lot with the settings, to learn about it, so I probably will just do a fresh install again.

I'm trying to use Bingie with and Emby remote server, so... Which emby addon should I use? Emby for Kodi or Embycon?
I tryied both, and here is what I've learned:
-Emby for kodi, allow to sync libraries to local library in Kodi (with this setup Kodi crashed a lot, and I've already changed the log cache size) maybe some processes were still running in the background and I should have let it "settle" a litle more time.
- EmbyCon, doesnt sync the libraries locally, and at firt I tought I couldn't use it with bingie, but then I find out that I could change the shortcuts to those dynamic libraries, this setup made Kodi run smoother (but I added just a couple of widgest to test it), how ever, there is no option to add movies/tv shoes to "My List" or Favourite...

Does anyone use this skin with an Emby server? wich setup do you use? also, makes sence to have artwork beef? (since all content in emby server already have fanart, etc)
Wich setting should I change or not? (for instance, should I allow Emby addon to do Artwork Cache? )
Or should I just quit and keep using the Emby app

thank you. 

I don't know if you still need help with Kodi and Emby, but if you do hit me up, i'm getting the hang of it.
I'm still struggling with a few small things myself, but most of it is working very smoothly for me

Do you have this issue where you have double icons, if your in let's say the movies HUB and media codec on? If I'm in Home then the issue is not there. Only when I go into the Movies, or TV HUBS. You may have to enable your widget on home to show spotlight to test. This is driving me crazy. I just uninstalled Kodi, and all ad-dons, did a fresh install, and have the issue. I have just started making a clean build with all the mods, and all the bugs removed, just can't get this last one resolved.

Here is an example on Home with now issues


In movies HUB

Hey, 

thanks a lot, I got it all running smoothly also. I’m using Emby for Kodi plugin and just synced the libraries.
that way I could use the custom widgets of the Bingie skin.
the only thing is not working for me, is the footer with the ratings/studio logos. It was working on the Home Screen, but not in the Movies and Tv Shows widgets screen.
I did a fresh installation, and now is not working also in the Home screen also 😂 
I already check the setting and it’s all enabled to use the footers on widgets, but it doesn’t shows up...  to a huge deal, but it was nice to have the IMDb/tidbits ratings

I'm struggling hard at the moment with getting all ratings consistently. the TMDB/TVDB ratings show up automatically, but i'm having a hard time getting the IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes to show up. Did you have any succes at least getting IMDB ratings? Did you follow Cartman.Dos information on the main page to get the ratings?

Try this to get the studios to show up on the all movie or all tv page. While you are on the page, change the view type to anything and then change it back to your Bingie view. now he movie studios should show up. If not i can go through your settings with you to see if you missed one.

Maybe together we can figure this out

Yes, I have IMDB showing also, rotten tomatoes I don’t use.
did you tried to add a OMDB api key to the Metadata and Artwork module in the settings? I think IMDB ratings only shows when you add a OMDB api key.

yes i did. I added an API key for all 3 options there. Fanart OMDB and TMDB
The weird thing is that I only get IMDB ratings for some of them, not all. That's my main issue I have right now
So I'm wondering if i scraped my Emby library correct, but you don't have that many options there.

Since you get IMDB ratings for some content and not to others, maybe the issue is in the source... maybe the IMDB Id is not correct in you Emby server.

But just repairing the library doesn't help it pick up more ratings.
I'll try later to start with a completely empty DB.
Where in Kodi and Bingie are there places i can look for some sort of cache to delete too, just to see if it picks up more that way.
