THIS! I signed up for the forum just to say this is what I need :-) Updated my Apple TV 4 to the newest .deb which is apparently Krypton, and was shocked AppTv wasn't an option. Big Grin
Bourne Perfection and everyone else,

Just to be clear, the reason why most skins are not and won't be available for Kyrpton version of Kodi until at least first beta of Kyrpton is available is the following.
  • Until first beta, skin engine changes can and do sometimes change daily
  • Skin writers are only normally allowed to make pull requests to the Kodi repo once a month. A change to the skin engine one day after skin accepted into repo could mean skin is broken for the rest of the month.
  • Usually the changes required to the code between versions can be fairly substantial, thus the amount of work required to follow skin engine changes can also be substantial.

So in short, it's a mugs game to try and release a skin for the newest version of Kodi until at least Beta 1 is released (and as has been the case in the past, right up to when RC's are released). I will start coding the changes required for Kodi Krypton around the time beta 1 is released, but until then any changes I code to the skin will be only for Jarvis Kodi (but keeping Kyrpton in mind for the changes)

If you want to see the changes already announced for the skin engine for Krypton, go look in the skin development sub forum (thread is always a stickied one at the top of the list). This should give you a little idea of just how much work will be required.

Now, as always a reminder. Please start a new thread if the topic of you thread changes. This thread has moved completely away from original post, and so when I go back to make sure I have not missed any requested changes for the skin the chance of missing something is pretty high.

If required a FULL debug log can now be submitted from the skin in settings->skin settings->support. Or follow instructions here if you can't access skin settings.
