Hey I just moved over to Helix from Gotham and was wondering about a couple of settings. Currently my set up looks like the 1st photo on page 1 of this thread but would like it to look like the 3rd photo. The one that has a smattering of movie covers when you arrow over to the movie category on the main screen. That smattering look was also on my videos & Tv Shows section. How do I turn on this feature? Is this the cinema experience? What setting is this under skin settings? Also, is there a way to get the weather up in the upper left hand corner like it was on Gotham? Thanks.

@hfmls:
I can't get your XML to work. If I replace the code in MyPVRChannels.xml with your code, there is NO channel list at all.

Added support for Videoextras, was a bit of a quick fix - so let me know of any problems. you should get a "codec" type image if the listed item has Extras. you will need to have "Allow caching of extras on startup" enabled in the VideoExtras settings for this to work.
Popped in a few of the other requests like volume amount on the slide bar and options to run Artwork downloader from Video Info Screen for individual media items...
WOW... that was fast !! Three requests made and BOOM !! - in by the weekend... Thank You Mudislander !!
I've been meaning to say so, but Life keeps getting in the way of xbmc/Kodi stuff
I really appreciate these little things - especially the "E"-icon to indicate Extras exist for a title - very clever idea
I notice this: when a movie has Extras associated with it, the "E"-icon shows in the Media Info3 display, but when opening the full info window for that item, the "E"-icon is missing from the rest of the icon group. Is this intentional ?
In any event, thanks again for the incredible support you offer to the xbmc/Kodi community - keeping your skins enhanced and WORKING - Cheers !!

ok, I hope someone can help me. I am using CCM. I originally put some new backgrounds in the skin folder but each time the skin updates it wipes the images out. I had the thought of deleting the hybrid repo but the skin still manages to update?
So, now that leads me to putting my background images in a folder other then the skin/backgrounds folder. Where do you all put your background images?
Also, what I am confused about is the path that I will need to edit in the guisettings.xml
So natively the path for the background would be for example
special://skin/backgrounds/musicvideos.jpg
I want to keep the format as such so I can install my setup on a PC or Android device. If i were to put the backgrounds folder in the root Addons folder then my path is going to look like this
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/backgrounds/musicvideos.jpg
Can I use the special:// context somehow and set the path so it will be universal to any system?
Hope that makes sense. Thanks

Just go to "Skin Settings", enable "Multi-Image" and point to your Pics folder. You don't need to change any XML

1) Home Menu > Movies > Background Type, choose Live Content
2) General > Home Screen Options > Home Top Left Info Area, choose Weather

Hey Mudislander, The skin is working great. Haven't had any issues with the "Playlist" background flashing through, and everything is running very smooth. I noticed two little bugs in music for the next time you're playing around in there. Absolutely no hurry just wanted to bring them to your attention.
On the right the "Born" and "Formed" info is overlapping.
On the right in front of the year is an "]"
No biggie, and thanks for your hard work!
Edit: Ugh...didn't realize pictures didn't post, here you go.

Sorry Guy's have been a bit distracted last week or so - had the idea to re-do my server and have been fighting with greyhole, samba and Linux user permissions - a right PITA. 
Anyway media seems to be where it should be today. Really difficult to test a skin when your library keeps disappearing.
Most of the "]" bugs come from the ability to change font colour and have been looking for them, by all means shout out if you see one not mentioned. Will look for mentioned alignment issues, but need to rip a couple of CD's first as the whole music library has gone West. The other problem ATM is with TVHeadEnd , so Live TV is on the back burner for a week or two - but will get it running again.

Thanks for the reply but that wont help in this situation.
So then use "Single Image path" - I agree with Solo0815, you don't need to edit xml files for this.

Actually the "E-icon" is part of videoextras, I just implemented it
I'll look at the Info Dialog - good chance I forgot it, was a bit of a rush job! - Whole thing needs attention though as it's caused a few other problems. Glad the basics are working though!
