@Kr1ss. Thanks for the reply. That's strange then because when I Press the OK Button nothing changes. I do hear the button press sound but the time value doesn't change. Have tried with another keyboard remote but that's the same, button press sound but value doesn't change.
Thought it might have been due to the 17.1 upgrade but I have also tested on another android box which is still at 17.0 and it too won't allow me to change the time setting.
I always try to add precautions that would ensure the setting is working. In this instance, if nothing is selected, it defaults to five seconds. The very first time you click the toggle, it will actually select the first value, which, again is five. Everything after that goes in a preset circle, with incremental increases of the set values. From what you've described, it looks like the default five seconds haven't been set by the skin upon the update that brought the setting. Therefore, you can't enter the circle, so to speak.
I'm always adding new skin settings, and while with the precautions I take, everything works most of the time, there's going to be glitches up the wazoo, especially when dealing with complex settings like this, with many options that impact the whole skin. The only way to guarantee that the settings I add-in are properly applied would be to delete the skin's settings.xml file (userdata/addon_data/skin.eminence.2.mod.Krypton) from the userdata folder, boot up Kodi, and readjust the settings to your preference.
If you don't want to do that, which I understand, then you need to tackle these situations on an individual basis. In this case, you could go inside the settings.xml and add the setting manually.
Code:<setting id="rotationlimit" type="string">2</setting>
The "rotationlimit" is the setting in question, the number is the value selected. 1 is five seconds 2 is ten seconds, etc. By setting any number, you should in effect force the skin to acknowledge the setting, and jumpstart the proper behaviour. After this, it should work from within the skin. There's a chance that you already have the setting in the file, but without any value attached to it. Many situations are possible...
Let me know if you've made progress!
First off, congrats and thanks for the RightList view (and all the other improvements), much appreciated. Maybe a few tweaks but already my favourite view, especially for Music Artists.
Mixed news with the RotationLimit values. I followed your suggestion to edit the settings.xml (rather then delete it) but the value I had already matched yours. Even so I changed the value again to 3 and reloaded the skin. No difference with the settings screen (still stuck on the default 5 seconds) but the timing of the background changing did alter so I tried a couple of tests by clicking on the 5 second default (I can hear the button press clicks) a few times then reloading the skin each time and looking at the values in the settings.xml I can see they are changing and therefore the timings are changing too. I can't work out a pattern sometimes the values jump i.e. from 3 to 10 even if I press only once and then back to 1,2 & 4 but it does change the timings I just can't scroll through the values so it's very hit-and-miss.
I've now tested this on two Android TVBoxes one with Android 6.0.1, Krypton 17.1 and Eminence 2.0 Mod 2.3.3, one TV Box with Android 5.0.1, Krypton 17.0 and Eminence 2.0 Mod 2.3.2 , one HTPC with LibreElec 8.0.0, Krypton 17.0 and Eminence 2.0 Mod 2.3.2 and I even tried it on my LinuxMint 18.1 Desktop , Krypton 17.1 and Eminence 2.3.2. They ALL suffer the same problem so whatever is causing this it's maybe something specific to my setup (Ubuntu NAS Server running Emby with Kodi Clients, or a setting somewhere else in the skin that's having a knock-on effect).
It's not a show stopper for me as i can get it to do what I want with random tries and if nobody else is reporting this then only keep looking at it if you've got the time. Am happy to test out any suggestions you do have and report back results - again only if you have the time.
