First image shows the media playing. The title is stalled, trying to move. It moves fractionally and goes back to the start constantly.








As you can see on the second image the media is paused and the full title is scrolling fine.

This is the official Radio add-on, but it happens with all media that has a long title.

Hope you can fix this and thanks again

Jim

@jimclarke020 , thanks for the screenshots.  I will fix this in the next update.  It will look slightly different, but the label will scroll (when the name is really long), whether media is playing or paused.

Bart

@jimclarke020 , please test version 3.2.98.  This should be fixed.  Please confirm that it is indeed fixed.  Thanks.

Bart

@shedrock, thank you for the video. It seems I misunderstood what label you wanted to scroll. The new option affects the label that appears on the poster itself, not the label at the top. So, I see that the label scrolls, which is standard behavior that I have not changed. Do you want an option for that top label to not scroll? Please confirm. Thanks.

Hi Bart,

If it's not too much trouble to do, then that's fine. If it is, then I am okay with that also. I really feel bad that you had to add all that code for that feature. I apologize for that.

Thank you so much,

Shedrock

That's scrolling fine now. Stops scrolling after about 3 minutes though. Is this a deliberate feature? It's not a problem for me, because the text is completely still and not constantly trying to move like it was before the fix.
Thanks again.
Jim

Before, the logo of a TV channel was displayed correctly :


Now, the logo is cropped even when choosing the display in square mode :


@bsoriano can you rectify this in the next update so that the TV channel logos are displayed correctly in the shelf of TV recordings ?

Thanks in advance.

@Cyberdom , please test version 3.2.98.  This should be fixed.  Please confirm that it is indeed fixed.  Thanks.

Thank you @bsoriano.

The TV channel logos are displayed correctly again in the TV recordings shelf.

@shedrock , no worries! I changed the behavior of the option to enable/disable scrolling of the widget title at the top.  Please be advised that scrolling is now off by default.  If you want the label to scroll, you need to enable the option.

The changes are already on GitHub.  Please download, test, and let me know if this is what you were looking for.  Thanks.

As I recently finished one of the biggest changes I had pending from my 2020 To-Do list for Amber, I think it is finally time to submit the newest version to the Kodi repo. Please let me know if there is anything that you really would want to see in Amber that is not there now, so I can evaluate if I can incorporate that before submitting a new version to the Kodi repo. Thanks.

Maybe not now, but somewhere down the road it would be great to have an option for the widgets to scroll. Eminence 2 has this feature and it looks awesome. Sualfred adapted it to his older skins as well.

Have a look at the screenshot below. The sub-menu Embuary helper for playlist backgrounds" option is not functional. Is this normal?



Thanks,

Yes, the reason I think it's a great idea is because you don't have to scroll through the widgets. It may be difficult to implement with 2 or 3 shelves, or maybe, and that's if it's doable, have it scroll 1 set of widgets. For example:

Shelf 1 (top) scroll
Shelf 2 (middle) no scroll
Shelf 3 (bottom) no scroll,or pick oen of them that you want to scrolly after a set time. It would be very confusing to have more than one shelf scrolling.

I have a feeling this would be easier to implement if you're using the 1 shelf option which would be set to Low instead of Standard. Then again, I could be wrong.

Shedrock

(2020-07-12, 01:37)bsoriano Wrote: I can certainly implement this on a per-widget basis, so that you decide whether to have a shelf autoscroll or not, and I would provide a certain number of intervals.  What time options do you think would be appropriate? I was thinking 5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 seconds.  What do you think?

With the one-row shelf limitation (Amber would only show the option if the shelf is one row), is this still something you would like to see? Please let me know.  Thanks.
