Hi Marcel,
I like most of the changes made in 3.4.13, one thing I'm not so keen on is the way the actor name & character name is shown scrolling in the cast section, it's a very long piece of text in a small area & is difficult to read from across the room.....or close up. Perhaps a better location would be above the large poster cast image? There is one bug with cast images I have found. This only happens on my Openelec system, all is OK on Windows but when there is no actor image available, it will either be blank, sometimes grey sometimes the no cast image shows but when I roll over it a random actor image appears.
Regarding the actor images I'm going to ask for a feature request, you may not want to do it as it could be a lot of work. If you could take a look at the Artic Zephyr skin, the way the actor images & info are dealt with are awesome. When you click on an actor it brings up the Actor Bio from either IMDb or MovieDB (not sure which). Then below that there are buttons to select Movie info or TV Show Info, first showing movies/TV Shows from within your library, then other movies/TV Shows that they've been in but not in library.....just a thought
I'm still having the issues mentioned above re smart playlists, not sure if you've looked into it or not. They take a very long time to appear on the submenus (until then they are blank), once they appear they are often changed order or have been replaced with others.
I can provide a log if you require.
4 Log files from today, my box kept crashing on me (not skin related). Everytime it rebooted the smart platlist items took well over 5 minutes to load.
