I wasn't really planning to post this, but I've seen enough people asking about changes to the default Estuary that I did in this mod that I thought I'd go ahead.

This is a very light modification to Estuary that provides the following:

• basic support for Artist Slideshow on the music visualization screen
  
• option to trigger music visualization screen when you start playing music
  
• ability to reorder and turn off home screen left menu items
  
• option to use small icons for the categories (makes it more like the original Estuary)
  
• option to hide home screen widgets individually
  
• setting to change the color diffusion of background art (from 0 - 100%)
  
• option to use alternate layout for weather widget in top bar that doesn't overlap with certain views
  
• added categories in TV category widget for X-NEWA and Pseudolibrary if those addons are installed
  
• option to use an alternate timer layout that puts the show name before the channel name in the PVR listings
  
• better support for 4 digit channel numbers in PVR
  
• option for narrow channel labels in PVR guide (must restart Kodi after changing this setting)
  
• if you install skin.helper.service the alternate layout in PVR timers listings will include TV show posters and show plot (show plot requires modified version of skin.helper.service, see below)
  
• option to show extended OSD info when showing the PVR OSD
  

To use this you need to install my skin repo and then install the Krypton Estuary skin mod.

To get the plot to show with skin.helper.service, you need to modify listitem_monitor.py. Around line 366 you'll find this:

Code:

# monitor listitem props when PVR is active
elif content_type in ["tvchannels", "tvrecordings", "channels", "recordings", "timers", "tvtimers"]:
details = self.get_pvr_artwork(details, prefix)

You need to change it to this:

Code:

# monitor listitem props when PVR is active
elif content_type in ["tvchannels", "tvrecordings", "channels", "recordings", "timers", "tvtimers"]:
extinfo = details.copy()
extinfo['plot'] = ''
details['ExternalPlot'] = self.get_pvr_artwork(extinfo, prefix)['plot']
details = self.get_pvr_artwork(details, prefix)

I'm not really going to take feature requests for this mod. Basically this thread is just if you're having a problem.
