@TheRealDeadMan , if you are talking about Amber in Matrix, you are correct, I guess in one of the updates I must have overwritten those changes.  I will fix in the next skin update.

There was more, which got lost in all my edits of the post, explaining that it was missing from both my Amber Matrix version, and also from my CoreElec Amber Leia install on my VIM3.

Thanks for looking into.

@TheRealDeadMan , thanks for confirming.  I will fix for Matrix, but there have never been chapter tick marks in the seek bar in Leia.  The skinning controls those tick marks are based on was introduced in Matrix.

@frederic.staron , thanks for reporting this.  I am not sure what happened with the links.  I have updated them on the first post.  I just tested the Matrix link, and it should take you to the GitHub page for the repo zip file, where you can choose to download it.  Please let me know if this is now working.  Thanks.

Bart

@bsoriano - Hi Bart,

I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to mention that when I click play from the DialogVideoInfo screen, the movie does not play.

Cheers!

@shedrock , my apologies for the late reply.  Are you using themoviedb helper addon? If so, do you have a recent version? I think the version in the Kodi repo is still a little outdated.  If you are using this addon, I suggest you install jurialmuney's repo to keep it updated.

That is the only reason I can think of for movies not playing from the video info dialog.  Otherwise, I have not been able to reproduce this issue.

Regards,

Bart

Hi Bart,

No need to apologize mate. I'm grateful for your time.

As for the version of TMDB helper. I will check the version and see if it is the one you recommend I use. I assumed on a new Amber install it would download the latest, but I guess it downloads the Kodi repo. version which makes sense. I'll give it try in a couple hours and let you know.

Thanks again for all your help.

Hi @bsoriano Bart,

i guess i found another bug in LEIA.

In Disney + Addon with "symbols" as view type is not correct (not full picture).

Have a look at here:

Can you fix that?

@Johnny1982fd , thanks for reporting.  Are you using the latest version from the Amber repo? That would be 3.2.99 for Leia.  I cannot test the Disney+ addon (the service is not available in my country), but I have tested with other video addons like YouTube, and the picture seems correct.  This is what I get:

Please confirm.  Also, if you are using the latest version, could you please test with another video addon like YouTube, Netlifx, etc. to see if the issue is there? Thanks.

Regards,

Bart

Hi @bsoriano 

yes, i have (always) latest version. 3.2.99

There was a similar bug in previous version. That was without title names (and as a remember with this screen bug)
You fix that in a new version.

Have a look at my post here:

@Johnny1982fd , that previous post and issue was something indeed different that I fixed back then.  Have you tested with other addons and get the same issue.  Also, what is the resolution you are sshowing Kodi in? 1920 x 1080? 4K? And, do you have a non-standard aspect ratio? Meaning, you display is not 16:9 or 4:3, it is stretched or overscanned or something like that.  Those are the only other things I can think of.  Beasides that, I don't know what could be wrong, and I am not able to replicate the issue.

Regards,

Bart


RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - Johnny1982fd - 2020-10-01

Hi @bsoriano 

Kodi standard 1920x1080 Full HD. No aspect ratio.

Disney+ use a little bit different Logos (not like Netflix).
It is not bad - i can live with this bug Smile

Thank you Bart Smile

RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - bsoriano - 2020-10-07

Hello all,

First of, my apologies for not uploading any new releases in the past few months.  Work has not left me much time for skinning.

I have just uploaded version 3.2.100 for Leia to GitHub and the Amber repo for Leia (Matrix will follow in the next couple of days).

The main changes are:

1. Partial removal of support for TV Show Next Aired addon.  This addon does not seem to be regularly maintained any more, and, as far as I know, will not work in Matrix.  I have not completely removed support for it in Amber, but in all media views, the next episode information that Amber will show from now on is that provided by the addon TMDb Helper.  What I mean is the Next Episode info as shown here:


Image

Please be advised that if you do not have the addon tmdb helper installed and configured, this information will no longer be shown in media views.

2. Added the Simple List viewtype.  This is, as it name implies, a very simple list view, which only shows names/titles, and no other info.  It does show the watched/unwatched overlay icon, and the number of unwatched episodes for tv shows.  It looks like this:

Image

And, of course, it can be selected from the available view types, including with the new view selector, as shown here:

Image


3. Match Poster Colors skin option.  This new setting uses functionality from very recent versions of tmdb helper to match the highlight border color in media views and widgets to the poster colors of the current item.  You can get to the new setting by going here:

Image

Since this is using functionality from tmdb helper, you will not see this setting if you do not have the addon installed and configured.  The end result looks like this (the border color for the Van Helsing item is not the regular highlight color, but a resulting color to matching the movie's poster colors):

Image

There are other miscellaneous fixes as well.

Please download, test, and let me know if you find any issues/bugs.  Thanks.

Regards,

Bart

Thanks for this new update. I was just wondering when she would be available.

She settled in last night automatically.

Here are my first feedback :
When I click on "Viewtype", the list of different views is displayed but there is no background color behind the list so she are not visible.

When I select "Simple List", the view is the same as the "List" view.

New term are to be translated into French :
- Match Poster Colors : Correspondance avec les couleurs de l'affiche

Image
In the parameters of autoscroll feature, elements must be translated into French :
- Automatic scroll time : Intervalle de temps de défilement automatique

Image
Here is the title to translate :
- Automatic scroll time (seconds) : Intervalle de temps de défilement automatique (en secondes)

Thanks in advance.
