A new update is available. This update contains bugfixing and a lot of shiny new features - some are described below. As usual, please report if you experience any bugs or have feature requests
Rapier 7.6.0 is available through the official Kodi repository!
This update is installed automatically.
If this is not the case, you can download it here.
A cool new feature is content browsing. This allows for content lists to be visible along with genres, actors, studios, countries etc., and will make browsing much faster and easier.
The content lists are not regular library lists, meaning that you will not have a context menu. But you will still get full info, play a movie, go to a tv show, album or artist.
Go to the top options menu bar, click View and select Extended List.
The content browsing will be available for:
- Movies: sets, genres, years, actors, directors, studios and countries.
- TV Shows: genres, years, actors and studios.
- Music Videos: genres, years, directors and studios.
- Music: genres and years.
Movie sets will work great with manual install of the add-on script.skin.info.service, but it will also work without. If the script is installed, the info in the middle will change according to the focused item (movie set to the left or single movie to the right).
If you use custom genre icons for movies, tv shows and music, it will look pretty damn good
