I'm guessing you have installed from GIT?

Yes, i did

[im85288]

Yes that will explain why it's not working I moved the colour selection and in future other things to a separate addon helper that gets installed when you have the skin installed from the repo. Look for the arctic helper script in git if you want to install it manually.

Cant find it... can you add a link beside skin git link on first post?

[im85288]

It's in my GitHub under repositorys. I leave it for advanced users to install this way as there's already been posts when I added the sets functionality where it was down to not getting the required dependencies which are hosted on the same repo as the skin. This is the reason the skin is hosted on a repo

Can anyone point me to were to find the default background picture (family with blue tvset) file? Can't find it in backgrounds and like to use it as fallback image.

Thanks!

Thanks for the updates, this skin is now my favorite. I have only two request.

All my movie genres are in Spanish so logos do not appear since the originals are in English, there is a possibility of having the option to use custom logos or at least rename existing ones?

If you uninstall skin via emby repo, then install skin from github, you can rename all genres as they will be in folder/file format. The repo version uses Textures.xbt which is an optimized db of all images. Then keep updating from github

Solved, thank you very much badaas

...My other request are about the plot instead of outline, all my movies have the plot in Spanish but missing the outline or have outline in English, I would like enter the info window and had the plot instead of the outline as I had asked you before, thank you very much for considering my request and also for your incredible work.

...For your other request it does favour the plot outline over the plot and I would rather not add an option there to change that behaviour. For your case though if you go to the includes_label.xml and locate the plot variable:

Code:

<variable name="Plot">
        <value condition="[!IsEmpty(ListItem.PlotOutline) | !IsEmpty(ListItem.Plot)] + Skin.HasSetting(osd.hidespoilers) + Container.Content(episodes) + [stringcompare(ListItem.Overlay,OverlayUnWatched.png) | ListItem.IsResumable]">* Hidden to prevent spoilers *</value>
        <value condition="!IsEmpty(ListItem.PlotOutline)">$INFO[ListItem.PlotOutline]</value>
        <value condition="!IsEmpty(ListItem.Plot)">$INFO[ListItem.Plot]</value>
    </variable>

Just delete the line:

Code:

<value condition="!IsEmpty(ListItem.PlotOutline)">$INFO[ListItem.PlotOutline]</value>

and it will always use the plot.

That solves my problem with the outline, thank you very much im85288

By the way, the image they are watching on the TV is the Netflix home screen from this mod!

The first part is now achieved by changing the icons in the extras folder. Do not do as badaas advised as the location for the genre artwork has changed

[im85288]

Version 1.0.56 is out with theme video backdrop support with the latest TV tunes, some font tweaks and flag tweaks. There's also a new way for getting extrafanart which should be more reliable than the previous version.

Also, I seem to be capturing 2 lots of movie certifications as shown on the below screen. The first certification is actually the correct one. I did wonder if the 2nd is actually supposed to be showing the studio there, as that seems to be missing currently when it would normally be shown on such info screens? Also there is slight overlap at the bottom of the screen, where the time, date and weather details are located. Is there any way I can move these over or down very slight, or even move these details to the top right hand corner?

Just i case you're still struggling with this issue, I had the same problem. I managed to trace it to the "UK:" Prefix I had set up for ratings in the Universal Movie Scraper. (I seem to remember this being necessary for correct country flagging in one of the Aeon Nox variant skins I was using a while back.)

The code in this skin appears to be reading the "U" in "UK:" as a 2nd rating. Taking out the prefix in the Universal Movie Scraper settings & rescanning the source completely fixes the problem.

Loving this mod, BTW.

Version 1.0.49 is now available.

A few changes like using the info script for audio/subtitles language, set information (like discart etc) and included more language flags.

For sets the discs are now shown in the flags section as that space was not used previously.

I've migrated over from using MySQL and this skin mod to now using this skin with Emby. On my Emby server, I have "Collections"/movie sets, but when viewing my library within Kodi, I cannot get the "Collection" view like the one you have displaying in the picture. How do you have the movie set view intermingled with non-movie sets? What setting within Kodi, or within skin settings, do I need to modify to have my collections be viewed alongside movies?

I would like to know how to enable the collection view also, I have set a group of films as a collection in Emby via the web interface, and they show ok there, but they still show seperately as individual movies in Kodi

Thanks for any help

[DruTheFu]

I had to go into Kodi's Settings --> Video --> and there should be a setting to group sets or collections, or something to that effect. Sorry I can't be more specific, I'm not in front of my Kodi atm. But once that setting is Enabled, and Collections are created in Emby, it should work as described.

I did already have the group movies in sets option selected, but I did a local database reset, and all is now working ok


Thanks Dru

Maybe a stupid question, but how to custom mods like this work vs the original skin? Do you somehow include changes/features added by Jurialmunkey along the way in addition to your changes? Or will this custom skin stay at a point-in-time version from Jurialmunkey?

Just curious since it may influence my decision on which skin to stick with as my main skin.

[badaas]

OP merges original skin fixes and changes, not sure how deep, but bugfixes at least..
