My current setup is latest Kodi 18 with Jellyfin addon and the skin, and everything works fine - widgets on TV Shows, Movies, etc populate fine. The issue I have, is when I choose to play a movie from any movie widgets, Kodi will crash when trying to start the stream. I've tried multiple skins and this is the only skin that I've had this issue with. Strangely, playing those same movies from the Spotlight on either Home or Movies tab works fine. Everything in regarding TV Shows plays fine from any widgets.

Going into the logs, I can see the last few lines when Kodi crashes are always the same:

2020-09-10 23:31:32.706 T:13108  NOTICE: JELLYFIN.objects.actions -> INFO::jellyfin_kodi\objects\actions.py:776  [ play ] kodi_id: 1 media: movie
2020-09-10 23:31:34.206 T:6504 WARNING: CRenderManager::Configure - timeout waiting for configure
2020-09-10 23:31:34.206 T:6504   ERROR: CVideoPlayerVideo::OutputPicture - failed to configure renderer

I've also tried creating a custom view using a custom hub, adding the movie widgets, and the result is the same, yet playing from the spotlight works.

Any ideas? I love the skin, but I'd have to find another one if I can't get movies to work. 

Thanks!

In the past when I have done this it almost all my art reappeared but not this time. About 50% is gone particularly from my movies just black rectangles with white triangles. Now I have found my self totally redoing my artwork with artwork beef which takes forever and to top that off I spent hours already and noticed that a lot of posters are not cropped well and I have to redo those. Just an FYI for those who read the first page of the Bingie page under tips only do this if you are having performance issues and absolutely need more space. This sucks lol.

Any change to make the first widget raw being a bit transparent when the cursor is on the spotlight? i think it will be a nice touch

I think i've got it:
https://ibb.co/XppLyXk

I added this line:
        <animation effect="fade" start="35" time="300" condition="Control.IsVisible(1508) + Integer.IsGreater(Container(77777).Position,0)">Conditional</animation>
under this line:
<animation effect="slide" end="0,-250" time="300" condition="Control.IsVisible(1508) + Integer.IsGreater(Container(77777).Position,0)">Conditional</animation>

I like that a lot. Good job!

What's up with your plot/button configuration? You switched it around? The original Bingie had it like this and I was never that keen on it to be honest.

The current version:

Cool man. Just keep in mind, I altered the diffuse on the spotlight content screen to be particularly darker around the normal plot area (seen in my picture) so that the plot text is always very visible no matter the background image. This was even more necessary since I removed the text shadow.

Your plot seems to be slightly out of this area but I can see you have text shadow so maybe it doesn’t even matter.

indeed you right, i found my plot code, it goes like this:
from IncludesHomeBingie.xml
 <!-- Plot -->

and for the spotlight buttons:

You can remove the Kodi splash by making an easy advanced settings forder and use this setting <splash>false</splash>

I also use the advanced settings to increase the cache for slower streams.

could you post a pic of the part of your advancedsettings , for increasing cache please ?

A video was easier here you go.
