now i'm started to get it.Thhanks for the follows reply

"If I understood you right, you want to add a custom hub?
You can do that by adding a shortcut and set it under common - > 'my custom hub'
then un-lock the hubs, go to the hub (press on the shortcuts you created from mainmenu) and set widgets as you like.
Further instructions on third post of this thread.

i did try it, but once i selecting "My Custom Hub" this is created : https://ibb.co/5vxWYgs  - only 1 line of content it's not like in the defoult Movies Hub that i have multi content for adding or editing, if i'm tying to add multi widget to this "My Custom List" hub from this custom screen : https://ibb.co/nc44gQy     it ignors the widgets that i selected for this hub and only 1 line of "set contet" is shown

1) 'My Custom List' is a panel-layout hub (like my list, only with custom-set content)
You want to add the shortcut 'My Hub', then set the widgets you like from the hub itself and NOT from edit shortcuts from skin settings.
2) All widgets set via Edit shortcuts tab will only show on 'Home' menu entry (weird but that's the titan inherited framework).
3) בהצלחה

sure, just a quick tip, if you're using idanplus or any other plugin for that matter, use the global limit (in configure shortcuts tab) to set limit for the items per widgets, because otherwise it loads the all directory which can take a lot of time.

will do! thanks.
one last thing, now that i know how the MyHub works, is it possible that in the next update you will add more of NewHub option,   i.e. MyHub2, MyHub3, MyHub4....  that will be great!

You can completely customize and change the current movies/tvshows/new to your liking including spotlight,widgets,shortcut label and submenu...
that gives you 4 fully custimizable hubs already.

Having them constantly changing while still viewing them isn't a desirable feature in my view.
Resource-wise, you have to take in account the biggest factor here and that is that while the demo showed ONE ITEM changes while it's focused, bingie views are constructed of items all by their respective images, unless you're speaking of only changing the one in focus, that will have a major impact on performance...which is already an issue for titan as a whole.

I meant changing the fanart itself... (in a way it's possible now by randomizing extrafanart, but i just meant it changed once in a while, startup cycle?)
and landscape seperately. not toggling between them because it's important to have a distinction with landscape as the widget's image and fanart for the spotlight.
Issue with that is that ListItem.Art(landscape)/ListItem.Art(fanart) will keep returning same image and while there could be a way of doing this for fanart. i'd rather have it for landscapes which i think is not possible because kodi artwork structure don't allow more than one landscape I think...:|

I do not say that often in this forum but in this case I find it hard to translate everything for me (I am from Austria)

Okay, if I understood that correctly:
You do not want a cycling multi-image or something like that, you just want on every restart/start a different image in kodi shown. Your focus is on variety, I suspect?

Since Kodi 18 Leia you can have as many custom artwork types as you want and read them into kodi with the help of the advancedsettings.xml file:
See point 2.3.14.1: https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings....ra_artwork and also here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=337089
With the help of ArtworkBeef its also possible and also below Leia Versions -> set custom artwork types

But there is no API connection that means you have to manually download everything, copy it to the right place and name it.
But no problem to storage more landscapes in your local artwork area for example landscape1, landscape2... read them into kodi with the options above
and call them in the skin with [ListItem.Art(landscape1)], [ListItem.Art(landscape2)] ...

It's possible and not very difficult, but not for the mainstream user (cause of paste/copy/rename to local artwork all manual)
I use a lot of custom arttypes...

Ok, but back to your scenario, let's stay with fanart. What is needed first is that extrafanart is handled as a separate artwork type.
With the help of ArtworkBeef this is easily possible. ... with both variants, AB intended system with extrafanart nearby the other artwork types, and also with the extrafanart folder variant. Both tested out.
Now we can call all extrafanart in skin with a ListItem seperate.

Now you want on each start/restart that another fanart is shown (in fix place, not cycling)?
Specifically that case, I can not think of anything, but maybe an alternative:
You could couple the fanarts/artworks to a system date.
first day of month: fanart1, sec day of month: fanart2 .... 30rd day of month: fanart xy
Up to 20 fanarts are supported via API in ArtworkBeef, i use 10 fanarts cause that count support my Media Manager and when count too much a lot of duplicates and bad quality (fanart.tv is fine, but tmdb there is not good but more fanart content)
So in the best case you have to see each fanart only 2 or 3 times a month - a lot of variation.
(Sure you have to work with fallbacks, if fanart9 is empty, then use a lower one and so on)

Another alternative could also be to set a multiimage with random, and set the timeperimage counter as high that it is not cycling anymore. But in contrary to the solution above you will get there on every onnext/onprevious a different image and not the same.

Hope i understood you correctly

Hi,

First time posting on the Kodi forums. Kudos on your skin, it is the best I've seen so far. I was just wondering if everyone has TV Show seasons in random order in the Bingie Episodes view or if it is a bug on my setup specifically. Thank you =)

[Comma]

Request:
I like how Continue watching/Next Episode is showing Season-landscape.jpg, but I would also like to have in progress movies in that same row so Continue Watching is both for tv shows and movies,
this can be achieved if selecting "In-progess tv shows & movies" in the mixed media in skin helper widgets, but then the tv show landscape.jpg is used and not Season-landscape.jpg, could this be made possible some how?

Issue:
Inside Bingie video information and choosing either Similar or More info (Extended script) I am missing focused border so it's impossible to navigate around.

1) need to check if it's due to skin or skin helper widget....
2) screenshot will help i'm not sure where are u missing a focus border...  

Here is a screenshot with border https://imgur.com/d6EoM1k

Here is Similar with no border https://imgur.com/XNyZ91W

Here is Extended Script with no border https://imgur.com/cZ0a7Ei

As you can see navigating completely blind here and guessing where you standing is difficult.

I'm sure but when checked on fresh install they're visible, so I'd guess you either set border focus size to zero? or one of the border focus colors to none?
another longshot, are the hubs locked?

Both border option is set to 4 pixels, strange is cast/actors list there is a border.
I deleted what was in default hubs I don't use them I only use widgets but the option is locked.

[djneil]

@louisefindlay23 , @djneil - I believe you're referring to the same issue. You're speaking of default osd right? (bingie osd)
There should be a vignette mask when osd in shown. Could you take a screenshot perhaps?

@Cartman.dos
Hi,
yes I use the default osd. The vignette is showing when you press enter to bring up the on-screen controls. But when pausing or skipping for example there's no vignette.

This is only happening when you disable the option to show the plot on osd when pausing.
Here's my "screenshot"

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to report this but i have an issue with the continue watching widget.

So after i finish watching an episode i expect the widget to update and reflect the new change but that's not happening and it keeps sitting on the watched episode. I can force it to update if i mark it as watched although it is already marked as watched.

I'm using default settings and Emby for kodi.

Thanks

thank you for all your support mate,

[neurosis13]

my problem i have since the upgrade, couldn't make it go away, i hope it can be fixed without erasing everything

First, you can always downgrade manually from my git repo.
But I don't believe it has something to do with the update beside mere chance...Do you have forced views on?
If anyone else encountered something like this please do tell.   

yes i am using fixed views and i disabled that and the problem seems to be gone.
maybe it really got something to do with fixed views.  

enabled fixed views again today and the problem is back immediately.

here a reminder what I am talking about

[XtreMaster]

any chance to add an option to stop refresh widgets on home automatically, just refresh when start kodi cause i cant choose a movie cause when i select it ,it takes me to addon menu imstead the moviemlinks options

[scofield272]

Hi Cartman
i have couple of quastions/remarks I hope it's ok that I post it here.



1. when using the global serach  - https://imgur.com/SDeZI1C,   the result are not reachble while using a remote (android box) or keyboard, it can be reached only while using a mouse,

2. is it possible to add a support for multi lenguges for the Bingie search?  https://imgur.com/cbIQUhm  (i.e. Hebrew )
I would love to translate the auto/suggestions strings to hebrew if necessary.


3. when trying to add a content to my favorites, for some it gives me this dialog for "choosing a directory to copy the favorites to"  https://imgur.com/0p6BYt8 , i'm not sure that it is,
even if i choose some directory nothing happens,
and for some content it's saves it to my favories directly as it should, without brings this dialog.

MUCH APPRECIATED

[RKCRLR]

this happens just with recordings? not with livetv/movies/tvshows...?    

Once it starts happening it happens in Live TV, Recordings, any videos I'm watching.  The really annoying part is when I'm time shifting Live TV.  I loose everything I haven't watched.  

I was thinking about resetting the skin to default and see if the problem still occurs.  If I use the "Reset the skin to default settings" option in Backup and restore will restoring my skin settings settings get me back to where I'm now (in case default settings don't help)?  

Thanks    

I tried resetting the skin settings to default and still have the same problem with videos stopping once I've accessed items from the home screen.  
Should I try reinstalling the skin or is there something else I should try first?  

Edit: I uninstalled the Bingie skin, restarted Kodi, reinstalled the Bingie skin, and restarted Kodi again.  I still have the problem even with the fresh install on default settings.  

Should I post a Kodi log file?  

Thanks  

Giving this a bump and adding some more information.  
* If I open a widget on the home screen and select a sub-menu item (i.e., Play episode, More episodes, etc.) video & live TV will stop playing when I use the back button, bring up the TV Guide, bring up the Recordings menu, etc.  This behavior will continue will continue until I restart Kodi or "reset" the the widget (see below).  
* If I open up a widget on the home screen and back out without making a sub-menu selection it causes no problems.  
* If I open up a widget on the home screen and back out without making a sub-menu selection it will "reset" the widget.  Video and live TV will continue to play normally when I bring up other menus.  It will remain this way until I access a sub-menu item again which causes the problem to return.  
* Selecting sub-menus under the Categories menus or Weather widgets does not cause the problem to occur.  
* Music will continue to play when I bring up menus even if the skin is in the mode that will cause video to stop.  
Any suggestions?
Thanks
