Thank you for this new version and the long work you put into it.
I wanted to ask when the selection from horizontal to vertical menu is made via the interface the screen turns black and you have to act via script, I ask if this process can be made possible via interface avoiding to act on the setting.xml file.
(I apologize for the Italian language interface)
Thank you

@Dom61
You're welcome!

Unfortunately, when the two scripts run they have to reload the skin to switch between the horizontal and vertical menus.

@latts9923
I did a test with a clean installation :
1- Install “repository.lattsrepo” and “script.skin.helper.colorpicker”.
2- Install the new skin via “LATTS KODI REPO”.
3- In the file “settings.xml” I also add the line about the vertical menu:

 32 :
<setting id="mainmenu_vertical_style" type="string">32</setting>

The switch between vertical and horizontal menu happens normally, at least this is what I verified.
At this point I apologize for the stupid question, could the “setting.xml” file contain the line about the vertical menu by default or could it create problems?
Thank you

Rather than continuing to badger @latts9923 about what may be a problem on my end, may I please ask for someone to use Music Viz Layout 3 and tell me if you are cycling through multilogos above the Album name when listening to established Artists?  I do not, when playing artists like A Perfect Circle, The Beatles, Jeff Beck or Jackson Browne, to name a few with hopes that others may have one of these in their library and can post your results.

For me, if an Artist does not have a logo it correctly shows the name in text, but if they do have a logo(s) I do not see anything displayed.

I have been able to fix my problem if I copy/paste the Multilogo code from Layout 4 to replace that in Layout 3.  My old brain recallls it used to work, but has not for me for quite awhile.

Thx!

Could someone help with an explanation. I go to "Music" pick an artist and an album/cd. Each selection I make everything is on the right side or right view I guess.
I want everything in "Music" artists', album's, songs in wide view. How do I make this happen?
I want it to remain that way also. 

Thanks

After the latest update i lost all my widgets, despite backup/reset/restore.
Then i pasted the value 100 in settings.xml in this line:
 <setting id="widgets_size" type="string">100</setting>
Kodi restart - all fine, now i can change this value in skin-settings - main menu inside kodi.

@Dom61
Not a stupid question at all. If you install from scratch or reset the skin, the "mainmenu_vertical_style" setting will be included in settings.xml.

@jasn
I just compared the logo code between style3 and style4 and I think I might know what's wrong. If you go to SETTINGS ► SKIN SETTINGS ► CONTEXTUAL ART, under "ART - MUSIC" do you have it set to "PREFER: CLEARART"? If so, change that to CLEARLOGO. Now see if the logo displays for you with the default code in style3.

@melons2
Go to your Top Menu under "ORGANIZE" and enable "ENABLE FORCED VIEWS". Now with the three buttons below that you can force a view to be used for all Artists, Albums and Songs.

@Schenckmeier
Glad you got that figured out. Hmm..a skin reset should have added that to settings.xml. I'll take another look.

@latts9923
I did have same issue as @Schenckmeier. Once I added "100", as he did, to "<setting id="widgets_size" type="string"></setting>", then all was fine. After that, just to verify, that "skin reset" works I removed "100" from "<setting id="widgets_size" type="string">100</setting>" and run "skin reset". It does put "100" back into "<setting id="widgets_size" type="string">100</setting>" line. The only issue is that any customization to the "Settings" is removed, so to get back my "SETTINGS" customization I restored "Skin Helper Service Skin Backup".

[latts9923]

@andrzejls
Thanks for verifying! I think I may have reproduced the problem that @Schenckmeier reported. I removed "100" from the "widgets_size" setting and backed up the settings. I then reset the skin, which restored "100" to "widgets_size". I then restored the backup, which removed "100" once again. So if a backup is created after installing the update, the new setting will be added to the settings file with an empty value and exported...which overwrites the reset after an import.

Exactly.

I need to do a fresh install of the MOD but I keep getting "Failed to install a dependency".
How do I install MQ 9 MOD as a new fresh install?

[latts9923]

@melons2
What dependency is failing to install? Also, make sure you have "UNKNOWN SOURCES" enabled and "UPDATE OFFICIAL ADD-ONS FROM" set to "ANY REPOSITORIES" in your Add-ons settings.

[melons2]

@latts9923



I checked everything and all of my settings are correct, and all of the dependencies are already installed at higher versions.
Any other ideas?

[Dom61]

@melons2
I don't know if it helps, yesterday when I did a test from scratch installing via repository the skin mod only required me to “script.skin.helper.colorpicker”.

[melons2]

I have tried all the suggestions with no success. I have completely uninstalled the MQ 9 MOD. I cannot reinstall mod version 1.4.4. Does anyone know where I can download the original un-moded MQ9 to try installing that first.
I can't find a download link anywhere.

Thanks!
