Gave it a shot to the colorpicker, definitely will use this as it offers improvements and easy to include in my code.
Just 1 suggestion is that it could be even more user friendly if colors were ordered by color base. Mixed colors are not easy to choose.
Not sure if it's possible.
I've seen that you have a Youtube trailer search, so I have something in mind that could be a request. I'm trying to get a thumbnail on the fly for live tv programs and I noticed the first youtube image preview is almost 100% relevant to the ListItem.Title. Do you think it should be possible to get something like this to work ?
Thanks
It was once ordered by color. I guess something got messed up somewhere on the road. I'll look into it.
Hmmm, a thumbnail on the fly for live TV programs... I don't think that's possible. First of all you'd have to tune every channel and second of all there's no way to do that in the Kodi API. Or did you mean channel icons ? That is possible...Also possible is to try to lookup the show and find the thumb...But that would mean that there won't be a 100% guarantee that the thumb is accurate.
I will give that last option a try later today. Willing to give it a testdrive ?

Scanning all channels for getting thumbs sounds too hungry in my opinion even more when you have hundreds of them. Lookup for the show is a good idea but you're right, not reliable (for exemple my epg returns truncated titles). Don't waste time on this, it's a Skinner's obsession
Out of curiosity I just tried this in a widget and it's actually working pretty well. Do you want to use it in a widget or in the PVR views ?

Any option to auto hide the osd after X seconds when no activity?
I Saw you did a function to auto show it, I prefer the opposite.

Marcel could you add options to show both the duration and studio label on the home widgets? It's one of the features I have in my helper script which I would like to decommission by using this instead.
I guess it would need a way for the skinner to specify the home menu ID with probably a default of 9000.
Cheers

Will add it in the next few days.

And what about the container which contains the widgets ? Would that be always the same ?
I can come up with two approaches for this:
- a widget "pass through" endpoint, to which you pass the Original widget target and which will add the studio and duration properties as a listitem property
- skin string to set the ID of the container containing the widget to minitor and use the existing home properties instead.

Should all be fixed on git now.
