I realize that there are still a lot of you who have not made the switch to Matrix yet.  Given this, I have uploaded version 3.2.130 of Amber for Leia to GitHub and the Amber repo for Leia.  This version includes all of the new features/fixes that I have done to the Matrix version.

Thank you @bsoriano, I just installed the update.

I haven't checked everything yet, but here's what I noticed.

You enable them globally first, using a new setting that can be found here:



As you can see from the above screenshot, you can also enable having a dark background behind the shortcuts, to make the text more readable.  You can notice this dark background in the first screenshot in this post.

Here are the French translations :
Enable bottom schortcuts : Activer les raccourcis du bas
Show dark background behind shortcuts : Afficher un arrière-plan sombre derrière les raccourcis

When you do, you can then select the "Customize Bottom Shortcuts" option to configure what will appear in the bottom shortcuts for that menu item.  You configure the bottom shortcuts just like you configure the menu/submenu:

Here are the French translations :
Show bottom shortcuts for this menu item : Afficher les raccourcis du bas pour cet élément de menu
Customize bottom shortcuts : Personnaliser les raccourcis du bas
In the title of the left column, translate "Shortcuts" by "Raccourcis".

(2021-04-15, 21:11)bsoriano Wrote: 3.  Option to show the Video Info Dialog from the Video OSD.  There is a new setting in Amber that enables showing the full video info dialog from the video OSD, when you press the "i" button in the OSD (not the "i" key, but the actual button in the OSD).  You can find the new setting here:

Here are the French translations :
Info button opens video info dialog : Le bouton Info ouvre la boîte de dialogue d'informations de la vidéo
Pause media while info dialog is open : Mettre en pause le média tant que la boîte de dialogue d'informations est ouverte

I have set the function "Pause media while info dialog is open" to "Yes" but the video does not pause when showing the video info dialog.
 

(2021-04-15, 21:22)bsoriano Wrote: 4.  Option to Disable Lyrics.  Amber now offers the option to disable lyrics, even if you have a lyrics addon configured.  You can find the new setting here:

Here are the French translations :
Disable lyrics : Désactiver les paroles
There is a line with the new function "Disable lyrics" and a second older one with "Enable Video Lyrics". Is it the same thing ?

Here are the French translations :
Show end time : Afficher l'heure de fin

For episodes of not viewed TV Shows it is good but for those already view, the end time is not displayed. I have this : (ENDS AT $INFO[LISTITEM. ENDTIME])

Another thing observed with the Goto function while playing a video. Before, we could use it directly (or by being in the OSD) by entering a time and validating with OK to access it quickly.
With this update, we can no longer use this Goto function from the OSD. She can only be used by entering the time directly but no longer with the OSD displayed.

Something else about displaying a flag. In the TV Shows and Episodes List view, the personal rating display flag is a little too low :


Last bug I noticed, for some menu items, in the configuration of some submenus, the texts overlap when they scroll :


There you go, I hope I didn't take too long.

@billyrene , I am not sure why the setting labele would not show up for you.  I checked and the strings file is updated on GitHub.

oh yes the menu bar is awesome thank you. the settings label does not show up for me still.. but as long as i know what this setting is for i have no problem with that

If I boot with Amber set as my skin I get a Coreelec configuration error message and plugins don't work among other issues.  If I boot using another skin and then switch to Amber it works fine.  Everything worked fine before I upgraded to Matrix and Amber is my favourite skin.  I have tried using the latest version of Amber from git without any change.  This may well be a Coreelec issue rather than Amber but I'm not sure.

Any help would be appreciated.  Am happy to provide debug logs etc.

@billyrene , I cannot make the search look like the first screenshot, since Kodi does not provide any info to the skin on the items in the search result.  I could make that search look like your second screenshot, but that would lose the ability to provide results from movie/tv show/episode plots.  Perhaps I could bring up a small dialog asking you to choose between default search results and enhanced search results.  Default would include plot search results, enhanced would not.  What do you think? Please let me know.  Thanks.

Bart
