Love this skin! Been playing with it the last few days.

I have a few suggestions.
- I would like some more color on the media info buttons.
- A landscape view like Myflix in Aeon Nox would be nice too.
- I see no image rotation in the series. Artwork Beef is installed and set to 5 backgrounds.

Is there a way to lower the widget that is now in the middle?

Thanks

1. By media info buttons do you mean the media flags? (video codec, resolution, etc.). Yes I do. I will check that version at Github.2.  I agree a landscape view would be nice.  I like those KodiFLix, MyFlix views a lot myself.  I will put it in my to do for the skin.  No promises on ETA, though.Thanks, looking forward to it.3.  If you are talking about extrafanart for when you are browsing your series (not the video info dialog), then yes, the skin supports up to 20 fanarts.  I do not use script.skin.helper.service for this, you need to have those fanarts scraped into your library, like with Artwork Beef.  You need to ensure the following options are set to Yes in the skin settings (Settings, Skin Settings, Backgrounds):I use Emby for all my metadata and also have Artwork Beef enabled today. Perhaps I was impatient?
I will add your fanart lines to mine and see what happens.4. Unfortunately, no.  I do not have a plan of changing the widgets (shelves) positioning.  However, for each menu item you can choose not to show the widgets if they are not focused.  When you configure the menu item, you will see an option called "Hide Shelves when not focused".  Would that be beneficial for you? Please let me know.  Thanks.I know I can hide the widget but that is not what I want. I would like the widget attached to the bar at the bottum or just a little space between them. Can I adjust it myself in a specific xml file?
If not than I have to live with it.  

Thanks for your help.

(2020-02-04, 23:17)bsoriano Wrote: @Grinario, please check the latest from Git.  Main changes for you to test:

1. Changed the placement of the logo in full screen music.  Should not be cut off now.

2. Changed the size of the logo in the home window.  I think this is a more reasonable size, what do you think?

As for the Back key when something is playing, I have not found a way to change that.

Regards,

Bart

@heula, that is beyond my skinning capabilities! I can commit to a low option in addition to the current one.

I've tested the skin with the artwork as you suggested and it seems to work fine. One issue I did find though, is that unless my music root fanart is not labelled as fanart1, 2 3 etc., then it won't be displayed, and by that I mean, if there is just fanart.jpg in the root folder, it does not get displayed. I tested this by renaming it to fanart1.jpg and it worked. Now, I do not have this issue with Aeon Nox SiLvo, and yes, I do realize that the AIF must exists to store the fanart images. However, I have trouble with that on my LibreELEC setup so all of my fanart images are also stored in my music artist root folder. Hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Also, the date for the music is great. I personally would have preferred it below the album name and using the same font size without the brackets. It just looks strange and a bit smaller next to the album name. Anyway, I guess I can adjust that at some point so it's not a big issue. Again, thank you for all your hard work on this skin.

Regards,

Shedrock

Kind regards

Can you please try, for the artist where you only have fanart.jpg, to go into the music info dialog, click "Choose Art", and see if the correct fanart is shown as the Fanart for the artist? Thanks.

As for the year, I was just trying to be consistent with the way the year is being shown in other areas of the skin. I will change it to the way you suggest.

I have not noticed that on a 55 inch 4K tv.

Hiding the user rating will be very helpful. But actually I was more referring to the MPAA rating and its equivalent in other countries, the ones that are supposed to signal suitability for certain audiences based on the movie's content. You know like PG-13, R, NC.
I really don't need that as an adult.

For movies I use the (small) icons menu view. So in order to see the audio language or subtitle language for a movie I need to press context key on my remote, scroll down to "show information", press OK, then up, then right and then scroll down. This whole key pressing business for every movie was the reason I inserted that little code snippet mentioned in my first post which shows the first 4 audio languages for the selected movie right there in the footer (instead of the MPAA rating).
Of course, I could re-insert that snippet after every update of Amber or maybe even fork Amber on github but that's a lot of hassle compared to the benefit.

But I have a compromise in mind which I'd like to propose: maybe you could display the audio and subtitle languages in the information menu of a movie (or even tv show) in a way that it isvisible right away when entering the information menu. Either by moving audio/subtitle language entries up/higher in the section on the right (where they are now but higher up) or by placing them somewhere else where they are immediately visible.
Although it would still require 3 "clicks" on my remote for every movie it would be a lot faster than it is now.

I think it's mostly the very old icons (3 years and older according to the repo) that have pixel noise, and in varying degrees, some are ok. My eyes are not certainly the best but I've noticed it on a 40inch 1080p TV
BTW here's an example.
