Circling back to some still open (perhaps only in my mind) issues:
1) context and info buttons work on only some widgets. Is it possible to make at least the 'c' and 'i' buttons work on any item in a widget when that item is part of the Kodi library (movie, tv, music, pvr)? Currently the 'i' button works on movies and tv but not pvr and music items. I don't think the 'c' button works on any widget.
2) the behaviour of backgrounds when rapidly scrolling through items in the music library (particularly noticeable when scrolling through artists) is still showing the 'backlog' effect in the latest version (3.6.42/1.0.60).
3) The video title still does not appear for online Movies even when video codec info is set to 'disabled'. So, this is more than an 'overlap' issue. Note the following:
Online Movie:
Offline Movie:
4) The recently played album widgets are still not updating in a timely fashion. Most times, I only see them update on a restart of Kodi. I am gathering from some of the more recent posts you have made that you are working on a more consistent scheme for driving updates of the widgets -- perhaps this will help.
Finally, but more in the line of a feature request, if you could be selective about what media/codec info was displayed, the overlap could be managed and both features used. Even more: it's starting to get a bit complicated with all the possible items that can be displayed on the screen in headers and footers, but would it be possible to set a set of three positions for each of the header and footer and for each position have a 'radio selection' of one of each possible item (weather, clock, logo, media/codec, studio/rating, page title, media/video/music title, etc). That way a user can make a selection of all items in any position -- ultimate flexibility even if duplication of items is desired. And to make things more complicated a similar selection mechanism for complex items (e.g. which media/codec info is desired). I am sure this may require considerable refactoring of the UI and perhaps even the xml based skin variables 'behind' the UI, so please consider it a 'dream' at this point.
Thanks very much for the fabulous skin and your incredible responsiveness to the many posts in this forum.
