As a current user of AZ:B as well, I'm excited to hear that it will be merged with AZ:FA. I know you have mentioned that we will have a lot of options to choose from, which is fantastic news. I'm just curious if we will be getting the cards and panel layouts when we are viewing episodes like AZ:B has and unfortunately, for me anyway, AZ:FA does not?

It's a small detail and is nowhere near a deal breaker if it doesn't happen. With the merger AZ:FA is definitely the skin for me and I thank you once again for all of the work you're doing.

@dork313: I hope many AZ:B users share your enthusiasm as AZ:FA and AZ:B become one in Arctic Zephyr: For Another Age (we're keeping the AZ:FA abbreviation so we came up with a fancy name worthy of the two combined). There will indeed be a lot of options in For Another Age so that users from AZ:B and the current AZ:FA can mix and match as they please which also means the cards and panels layouts (if it's what I think I was looking at in the gallery of AZ:B) will be coming to For Another Age.

The reason for this (among many other great reasons to bring AZ:B into AZ:FA) is For Another Age will be getting a uniquely different home screen then the one we have now (although anyone can select to go back to the current one). I'm actually working on what the home screen in For Another Age will look like and will post public images soon. It was supposed to come to AZ:FA Danvers but time constraints plus AZ:B complimenting the new home screen just made it more sensible to delay that feature.

Do remember that For Another Age will come after AZ:FA Danvers but AZ:FA Danvers will begin the transition. Music from AZ:B is already coming to AZ:FA and will be in the first Beta near the end of this month.

I am glad you posted. I hope other AZ:B users post here to let us know their favorite features and whatnot so we can prioritize features in For Another Age accordingly.

@Guardian Hope,

Feature request:

1) Will it be possible to add season and episode next to the title or at the bottom of the page
2) Total number of shows airing on the day

Wow, since the last version I tested in the Emby forum and this version a lot have changed.
I didn't even know, that you are here and active aswell, so I continue to ask and answer here instead.

I am still missing two important things in your beautiful and great mod:
1. I still can't enable "Skin Settings - Furniture - Show Plot overlay after X seconds" which should have been in 3.2.05 according to your post.

2nd one is, that I it seems I am only able to use the TV and Movie Hubs and can't create a new one. In the original A:Z it's possible to create multiple additional Hubs.

And the last comment is regarding a strange behaviour: AZ:FA reads the main menu from AZ and rebuilds it according to the settings found. That's great.
But the original hubs in AZ are using the IDs 1111 (movie) and 1112 (tv) and your mod has them numbered as 1101 and 1102, so the main menu isn't working as intended. Could you please change them back?

Other than that, it's looking fantastic and would be my main skin, if the missing features wouldn't hold me back ( I need my video and my music hub! ^^).

@MasterPhW

I can look into the Hubs Ids, from original AZ. I can't tell you when this will happen, but I'm sure Guardian Hope and I can incorporate more options for the Hubs.

Cheers

There really is only two things that I like about AZ:B more than AZ:FA and they are very small. On the home screen I prefer how AZ:B highlights the words in the menu as opposed to just the line in AZ:FA and I prefer the information screen. It just looks cleaner to me. As I said, very small things but that's really all that's kept AZ:B as my go to skin.

Edit: Just thought of a third one and that's how AZ:B displays episodes in the card or panel layout but I mentioned that in the previous post.

@Blurayx - I don't want to give a definitive answer yet in regards to adding season and episode next to the title of the TV Guide (please tell me that's not our TV Guide; otherwise it's due for an overhaul) but with Danvers becoming the version of AZ:FA that's doing the "heavy lifting" in terms of code changes needed versus introducing the Danvers Home Screen (which will be the For Another Age Home Screen) the UI is going to change quite a bit from that.

One of the things I've been meaning to set around to is posting my general idea for the UI view for For Another Age. That might answer your question a bit actually so keep your eyes out for that.

As for total number of shows airing today: that really depends on the functionality that provides that and the scrapers so I will also need to get back to you on that.

Hey there! I remember; yes, a lot of the communication has shifted from the Emby forums to the Kodi forums. Also, as you might imagine, a lot has changed since 3.x (Dormer) to the now 4.x/5.x (Danvers).

In regards to plot overlay, both @minus0 and I tried implementing an "X seconds" display using the Skin Helper Service but no matter what we did, AZ:FA wouldn't take to having that option. I had the code reviewed by @im85288 and @marceveldt over on the Emby forums and both said it should be working.

As I am about to depart for my move, we're going to make the next release as stable as possible which means while I would try something experimental it is going to have to wait.

My goal is to revisit it in "For Another Age" which brings AZ:FA and AZ:B together. For Another Age is to come after Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes (Danvers) and will feature a lot of UI changes. When @minus0 and I started on AZ:FA Danvers together, we didn't realize how much code is just thrown in, in ways that didn't make sense to us, so a lot of Danvers has been fixing and updating that.

Adding more Hubs is something, as @minus0 said, we can definitely do.

I am glad you posted. I hope other AZ:B users post here to let us know their favorite features and whatnot so we can prioritize features in For Another Age accordingly.

My eyes might be playing tricks on me but I could have sworn we highlighted the active selection as well as underlined it. If not, that's going to be fixed no matter what because For Another Age is bringing a new home screen design unlike any in AZ.

The information screen, if we can make it user selectable (i.e. AZ:FA, AZ:B, For Another Age) then absolutely. Otherwise it will be a new design - the "For Another Age" design which will take the best of both AZ:FA and AZ:B's information screen.

I believe I know the layout you are referring to and we might be able to pull it over for Danvers (views aren't exactly that hard to import - normally). However, a more "card" like layout is coming to For Another Age which will modernize AZ further while ensuring its classic looks also remain in tact allowing for experience selections.

Finally, @molodoy, I will need to respond to you in a separate post as I unfortunately ran out of time to reply.

@Guardian Hope,

Yes, It's the current Tv Guide

@Guardian Hope,

I have another feature request:

I was having a conversation with Guilouz(Estuary MOD) back in July, Regarding artist fanart, Because music files now have to be tagged to receive artist fanart. Guilouz came up with an ingenious way to receive artist fanart without tagging. it would be great if this feature can be added.

From what I can remember he used Extrafanarts that's powered by Skin Helper Service. using this method the artist fanart loads very quickly.

I'm sure if you asked Guilouz he will tell you how he did it.

Thanks

I am currently working on the Music part of AZ:FA. It has been an inudantable task at best. So many elements were missing from AZ:E. I am having to build all of the new areas that are missing. Also we are pulling some of Braz's Music features into the Music area as well. I told Guardian Hope that I am going to shoot to upload the files that I have completed for the weekend.

I can take a look at Guilouz-Estuary_Mod and see what he is doing to pull the ExtraFanArt. Not going to promise a specific date for when it can be implemented, but I will definitely try to get it done.

Cheers

I'm looking forward to seeing how for another age turns out. I'm currently using AZ:B on Jarvis in my living room and have AZ:FA with Krypton on my PC. I'm setting up everything to go to my living room once I see Krypton get more stable on Android.
