Installation instructions:

2. Press the "Get more" button
3. Select Titan and hit install
4. Default installation now complete and you can sit back and enjoy :-)

TIP: The skin is highly customizable. Go to Settings --> Skin Settings

Skin theme
The skin's default theme is my own more modern approach of the Titan skin. If you like the classic MediaPortal style better, you can change the theme of the skin to "classic". Open up settings --> Appearance --> Under skin you have the option to select the theme.

Touchscreen support
The skin is fully touchscreen compliant, actually it even has seperate controls and code to make life easier navigating on a touch device.
You have to enable the "touch mode" of the skin in the skin settings.

Bug reports and feature requests
Feel free to post a message on this thread if you run into any issues with the skin or if you have any questions. I'll be glad to assist. If you have a feature you would like to see included, please ask on the feature requests thread!


If you like this skin and you feel that you would like to help out a little bit then you can buy me a beer :-)

BETA version of the Titan skin.

All new features and bugfixes are done in the beta version of the skin. Offcourse any essential bugfixes will be patched directly on the stable version if needed. Once the beta has been proved stable by users, I will push out a release to the stable repo. Usually I publish a new stable version every 1 or 2 months.

The beta version has a different ID. This means that you can have both the stable version and the beta version installed at the same time on your system. This will allow you to checkout a new feature in the beta and then switch back to the stable version.

The beta version can contain bugs while features are beiing added. I advice you not to run it on your production/family mediacenters. Usage of the beta version at your own risk ;-)

How to install the beta version?

1) Download the zipfile for my beta repository https://github.com/marcelveldt/repositor...-1.0.1.zip

2) In Kodi, go to settings --> Add-ons --> Install from zipfile --> select the downloaded zip.

3) After installing the repo, "Marcelveldts beta repo" will be listed at the available repo locations in Kodi. Note that sometimes it can take a while before the repo actually lists any content because Kodi updates the content of the repo in the background. To speed up this process you can either restart Kodi or press the "Check for updates" button in the left sidebar menu.

4) While still in Kodi-settings-addons, Go to "Install from repository". Select the "Marcelveldt's beta repo" repository.

5) Select the Look and feel --> skin section. Select the Titan BETA skin.

Where are the updates versions? (3.5.x, 3.6.x)
I'm checking for them but the Skin folder inside the "Kodi Emby Beta" repo shows me an empty list.
(I already did "Check for updates")

Hi Marcel

Glad to see you are working on Jarvis version.
Simple request. When you implement an upgrade can you post a changelog?

Thanks

Is there a setting to disable the spinning disc when playing music on the home screen? Sorry, I couldn't find one.

Couple of smalls things.

The top of posters are now being cut off in the OSD
Image

If you have logo set to footer and codec info style set to full it overlaps on some items
Image
Is it possible to have the codec info on the OSD be independent of the one in the media view, i like having the full info while watching stuff and the classic view when browsing also it would fix the problem above

With 9 lines in the EPG view the indicator doesn't go all the way to the bottom
Image

I think this is a Kod thing but would it be possible to have the playlist total duration (Container(id).Totaltime) update as items are watched or am i asking too much :p

Want to be sure. Can I use a Titan v3.5.46 skin backup from Isengard and apply it to Titan v3.6.0 in Jarvis?

Why don't you try? But I did it that way and it worked...
