[Jeroen]

I know you are a skinner. But how can I set static fanart for my pvr channels. I have only 4 channels. Now if I open my channel list I see sharp logo before the channel name. But in the fanart preview I see unsharp zoomed logo's(low-res). So thats the reason I wanna set fanart. I have highres pictures for the cannels.

I don't think you can manually set fanart for PVR channels? I think it may also be dependant on what backend is used? I'm really not the best person to ask, as I have 0 experience with actually using the PVR.

@Jeroen Have you got any idea what's causing this error to be logged, or is it not serious enough to worry about? :

Probably best to check in the colorbox thread to be sure, but it looks like it fails to find a cached version of one of the images it generates for the blur effect. You could try to clear out
/home/lukecage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.colorbox/ and restart to trigger regeneration.

Managed to take some screenshots of my menu through the power of JSON & made an imgur library for you to show you what happens with my main menu & the shifting.

Cool, thanks. The vertical menu centring will be fixed in the next update.

At the end is a pair of screenshots of the same view from two data sources. Top is from the library node, bottom is from SHSW (which now says watchlist, vs Skin Helper Service Widget so yay?)

Yes, that is one of the exceptions I mentioned. It was actually there before, but I recently found out the content paths for Skin Helper have changed so it wasn't getting catched anymore, along with some other things.

The SHSW one is missing the logo, date, & genres. (I assure you I have a logo for The Simpsons).

I believe that might also be the cause of at least part of the issues here with Skin Helper. I'm not seeing this issue on my end at least.[/quote]

Thanks again for all your insight on how to tweak the little things that irk me & great work on fixing 90% of them (with half of the rest being taste/preference really) in such a short time.

No worries, thanks for the constructive feedback
