All I'm really saying is that when I find that Kodi has reverted to the default skin on its own (for various reasons, sometimes after a restore), often I can simply go into Settings and change it back to AH2 and all is well.

I don't think this is an Apple TV problem and definitely not a problem of the backup and restore (as I tried copying the needed files manually).

I've successfully copied my setup from one AH2 to another a few times when I need to rebuild by Shield TV devices.  I have copies of the AH2 files mentioned above from previous setups. My routine is to build a Kodi setup with all the add-ins I need, the settings and a default AH2 install.  Back it up with the backup/restore addon.  I restore that on the other Shield, and all is good.  I then copy the files mentioned above over the top of AH2 and my menu settings come back.

If I need to rebuild and it's the same version of Kodi, I can use the same default backup image but if it's a newer Kodi version I've found it's best to do a rebuild.

This skin is amazing, thanks so much for making it!

Is it possible to disable the references to other TV Shows, when the selector is on the back button? I find it a bit disorienting, seeing references to other shows, as soon as I open a specific show.

Can I report this as issue on GitHub? What is the repo?

Hello! Great skin jurial, esthetically pleasing and highly functional, fantastic work!
I have a small problem though. On my remote I am using separate buttons to open the EPG on a specific channel group. I am using the JSONRPC API (via Home Assistant). You can reproduce with:

Code:


curl -s --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Gui.ActivateWindow", "params": {"window" : "tvguide", "parameters": ["pvr://channels/tv/<a channel group name>"]} }' -H 'content-type: application/json;' -u "user:password" <kodi host>/jsonrpc | jq .


I works with e.g. Estuary or Embuary but with this skin, no matter which channel group parameter is given, the channel group which was selected via the GUI (e.g. the horizontal "slider" type menu above the grid) is opened. It seems the skin somehow overrides the API or something.

sry, meant to quote this

I am a big fan of jurialmunkey's Kodi skins especially Arctic Horizon 2 and Arctic Fuse. In some ways I wish there was a way to mix the 2 to get my perfect skin. For example I prefer the view types for AH2 given the variety available compared to the more limited options for AF. However I think the Home Screen for AF is the best. In particular I like how you can have home widgets and at the bottom, you can easily change from 1 widget to the other. Whereas in AH2, the widgets are 1 above the other so you have to scroll down.

I gather new view types for AF is not happening, so is it possible to change how the widgets display on the AH2 Home Screen to mimic AF.

AH2

you can do same thing in AH2 with stacked widgets.
but it looks better in fuse.

Thanks slickw

That looks really good. Especially like how you have the different collections at the top. 

Do you mind giving me a step by step on how to use stacked widgets to have a set up like yours. I have tried several times before but gave up as never been able to get it to work.

Its realy stright forward.
When you create new widget just select stacked

and then above it make a widget that points to root folder of movies
and it will look like in the first image i posted with kids movies.

edit:
as widget style you should select text as it looks most like arctic fuse.

Hi slickw,

Apologies but I am still stuck on this. When you say create a new widget, do you mean setting up a new MAIN menu option and within that, set up (1)  widget to root folder of movies and (2) add a second "stacked" widget. Can you explain what you mean by widget to root folder as I normally use video playlist for my media library and it does work.

Thanks

[satelly]

I managed to set up the stacked widget. Instead of choosing the video playlist option, I selected video source which then had the option of selecting all the playlists.

It doesn't have the same integrated appearance as Arctic Fuse. However I noticed that the Arctic Fuse option is based on having "combined widgets" rather than "stacked widgets". "Stacked widgets" is basically what AH2 uses.

Does anyone know if there is the option of coding in "combined widgets"? I did a search of the forum but the only mention of it seems to be in the Arctic Fuse tread.

1. Is there a way to completely hide the plot information on the home screen? I know you can select to hide it in the "Show information for unwatched items" menu, but then the plot simply gets replaced with the text "Hidden to prevent spoilers". I don't want to see any text. Perhaps some config file that can be edited?
   
2. How to set up just a picture as background. This is possible other jurialmunkey skins.
   
3. When scrolling through movies, it is no longer possible to quickly select a letter of the alphabet to jump to that section. Can this be fixed? I have 2000 movies, which makes manual scrolling a huge pain.

is it possible to edit the context menu and change the icons in the context menu to text?
