@patzzz, thank you so much! It seems to be easier than I thought. I will look into this right away. Thanks again!

EDIT: @Cyberdom , please test version 3.2.51 (GitHub or Amber repo). This should be fixed now. Please update, test, and let me know. Thanks.
However, I just noticed this problem with music.
Can you widen the space between the summary and the genre line in List view of albums and artists ?

Thank you for the speed of the update.

(2020-03-24, 12:36)Grinario Wrote:@Grinario, I got some help, and have added the submenu as a shelf type. You can add it by going to Default Shelves, Submenu. Be advised that in this first version, I have provided some default icons for the most common submenu items. I have also provided the capability to assign a thumbnail to a submenu item, so that it shows up if you add the submenu as a shelf. The folder where you can browse for the thumbnails is the "media" folder of the skin, but you can press Back from that initial folder and go to any folder to get the thumbnail. I might add in the future a folder with more thumbnails for you to choose from.(2020-03-24, 00:33)bsoriano Wrote:(2020-03-23, 11:57)Grinario Wrote: Hello Bart,

RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - TheRealDeadMan - 2020-03-25
@bsoriano
Just thought I would stop in and say the Amber Matrix build always seems to work fine. It doesn't seem like a lot of people are using Amber and Matrix 9, but I don't read all posts anyway. Just stop in to see if you have added some updates to the Matrix build lately.
I run the Milhouse Kodi 9 Matrix beta builds, and rarely have a problem, besides the usual Python errors we get when running the newer Kodi versions.
I don't get crazy and try to modify menus and whatnot. Leave it basic, remove menu items I don't use - add a couple to paths and menu items that don't fit into the usual TV and Movie categories, and I'm happy.
You have the best Kodi skin on the market!
Thank you!
RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - freakout87 - 2020-03-25
Hi there,
Wanted to report a couple of issues that I'd noted with the current version of Amber (3.2.23). I'm running it on the latest Kodi atop OSMC on a Vero 4K.
- First, unless I've gone crazy, the "Choose Art" option has disappeared from the media info screen? Has that option been relocated elsewhere or is it just gone?
- When browsing a list of media, the codec/media info tags (i.e. H.264, 5.1, 1080) don't update if the file changes. For instance, if I replace an old copy of a movie with a UHD copy, the tags don't update when I play the movie. They will only update if I choose to manually refresh the entry.

I don't know how to manage multiple Kodi versions in the same repo, so very soon I will be creating a separate Amber repo for the Matrix version, so that it is easy for the folks like you that are using Matrix to update Amber. Once I do that, I will keep the Matrix version of Amber as updated as the Leia version. Stay tuned.

Bart

@freakout87, thanks for your kind words.
- You have not gone crazy, the Choose Art option is now in the "Extras" button in the video info dialog.
- The second issue is Kodi standard behavior, not a skin issue. What I usually do (since I only use local nfo scraper) is to have the media management software I use (Media Center) read the tags from the new version of the movie, update the nfo, and then I do a Refresh of the movie in Kodi.

RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - Johnny1982fd - 2020-03-26
Hi @bsoriano
thanks for this great skin.
I have a questions:
Where can i change OSD from top to bottom? (while watching a movie, timeline, ..)
Thanks in advance!

I imagine you mean the seek bar (shows you progress and end time), correct? if so, then there is no option to change this to the bottom. I do not have any current plans to add this option. To do this, I would need to redesign the OSD. I will add this to my to-do, but I cannot make any promises on when I can get this done.

@bsoriano
Jesus! A reply after 10 minutes !? Man, i love you
So i come from titan skin and Amber seem to be like a good alternative.
So, i have a little bit more suggestions for improvements. I will post it next days with screenshots.
Keep going to you very good work!
