So the one you want - is "Enable Video Artwork on OSD" enabled and the others off. That should give you all info on "i" but only menu on "m"

I'm looking at the fader right now, also the seekbar doesn't slide properly when no artwork so misrepresents video position, will look into buffer cache colour tomorrow. probably could also centralise menu buttons a bit better.

Hey Mudislander,

Will you be adding upnp client mode?

Centaurious · 2015-02-20, 05:01

I just installed what I Think, is the correct version from (xbmc.repo.hybrid-1.0.0.zip), CCM Helix 3.0.9.
Running Kodi 14.1 on Ubuntu 14.10.

I love how I can use Smart Playlists and your skin to have my Anime Movies, Anime Series, Movies, And TV Shows on the Home menu.

Unfortunately I am used to, and prefer the View: Fanart for browsing and Movie and TV Show are not showing. All other Views show titles and they show in Music as well. I am using View: Thumbnails as a workaround but help in fixing this would be great.

Here is an example

There's no room on the floor for Movie titles, so that's a no go. Not sure why I took it off the top of the info panel - but the title could go back there. I don't want the title above the posters when there is no info panel. 2 reasons - it's difficult with the way my popup info panel works and "it's a fanart view" that's what I want to see not another view of the title's label.

No sorry, Convergence has been built from the ground up with a menu system that can handle the extra path names, if I brought it into CCM we'd all lose our menu settings.

You can still use UPnP mode in CCM and default Confluence by setting your media paths etc. Convergence just tries to make it easier and get as much "artwork" as possible.

Here's a random thing out of the blue! obviously I switch between whatever I'm working on just to make sure nothing goes "nuclear" and switching back to CCM - I like the large widgets, so thanks to Cupko for suggesting them and SpaceMonkey for the code I pilfered. Actually need to find the time to do a couple more.

hi, can somebody tell me how i can change my views once i'm in my addon of choice? my view is stuck i believe on poster wrap, and i cannot find a way to change it. used to be a simple mouse-over on the left screen border, but i can't find it anymore. i also went into "MyVideoNav.xml" file and changed the view first choice to 515(media info 3), but that did not change my view-help!!!

also, is there a way to remove the black area under the home screen bar to allow the background picture to fill the whole screen? and favorites button also.

Simply moving the mouse pointer to the left side no longer is functional. You need to click on the tab sticking out over there to open or close the pop out. This keeps the pop out from closing back up if your mouse looses focus on one of the selectable items in the pop out .

I have no visible tab to click on. That is what i was more or less inquiring about. I cannot find a way to change the view.

Try turning off Kiosk Mode.

Mudislander · 2015-02-20, 18:22

Okay - I've completed the following for the next update :-

Seperate Toggle for Video to show behind PVR Windows
Ability for Weather display on Fullscreen video for those with no windows
Repaired Video OSD screens, hopefully didn't create any new bugs
Added a User Defined OSD Button ATM not in LiveTV and can only be set (In SkinSettings) to "Aspect Ratio"
BugFix List Item title not showing in FanArt View

ATM that's all I can remember that I had to do, so going to troll back up the thread to check, but if anyone knows of any other bugs or thinks I've forgotten - shout out!!

Thx Mudislander, everything is ok now.

I've installed the CCM Helix skin on two machines and I love it. I've noticed that one machine has the Homescreen font in all-caps (ie MOVIES) while the other does not (ie Movies). In System > Appearance > Skin, both clients show Theme, Colours, and Fonts as "Skin Default." They are both running the same version of Kodi and CCM.

I've tried toggling the font and theme settings to see if it would change but they both return to the same state.

Does anyone happen to know where in what xml file I can manually change the font setting? I'd like the all-caps look on both clients (ie MOVIES)

Now that I understand which option caused it and the reason behind it, I don't mind it either way. It does look cleaner like that, I think it was just the missing black shading that threw me off. That and the seek bar colors and function are the only real problems. Thanks.

You can just rename your menu items Wink

Reset the menu item to movies and name it "MOVIES"

I do know what caused that, when changing some stuff I switched between using Confluence item names which were in Capitals to the names supplied by Kodi which were not in capitals. Something I should check on before I say this - but, any new items should be in lower case.
