Hey jingai. Great work on this release. Thank you for your work!

Is there a way to migrate my settings (menu items) from MacGyver's mod? It took me hours to do and would be a P.I.T.A. to try and recreate.

Thank you again for your work!

[jingai]

Not cleanly, probably, but most/some of it will probably come over.

[DetrieZ]

So just install and select 3.2.0?

[jingai]

Yes, though I have not tried to transition from MacGyver's mod, so YMMV of course.

Ran into a display problem, hope you can direct me to the correct file to fix it.. Kodi 15.2, Metropolis 3.2.0

I'm using a TV widget based on a playlist of my own that lists recently updated TV Shows, which I prefer to a list of specific episodes. It works just fine, both as a standalone playlist and as a widget. The only problem is that the list of newly Updated Shows is displayed as shown in the attached image: each show shows the name of the show, then a number which seems to be the cumulative episode number, rather than current season and episode. For example, The Big Bang Theory - 9x189 - The Big Bang Theory.

What I'd like to do is just list the title, that's all.Eliminate the number and the repeated show title.



EDIT: If it helps, this is the text of my playlist:

Code:

<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
    <name>Updated Shows</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="dateadded" operator="inthelast">
        <value>60 days</value>
    </rule>
    <limit>25</limit>
    <order direction="descending">dateadded</order>
</smartplaylist>

Just upgraded my test environment with kodi 15.2 and latest metropolis skin. Few comments

• The vote is not working that well if there are more than 10K of votes. Check out shawshank redemption that has 1M+ votes. You can check MacGyver mod on how it handle that with the font.xml
  
  
  
• I have "the show votes instead of top 250 always" unchecked but i still get the votes and not the Top250 #place
  
  
• Where are the "next tv air date" is shown now ? The option is checked but no next tv air date on my shows.
  

tnx

The vote is not working that well if there are more than 10K of votes. Check out shawshank redemption that has 1M+ votes. You can check MacGyver mod on how it handle that with the font.xml

This was a consistency issue -- I wanted the same font as used elsewhere. I can maybe scale it if the value is large.

edit: Hmm.. it'd have to be really, really tiny to accommodate values that large. It'd be optimal to to show the value using different units instead (like 1.6M, 10.8K, etc), but I'm not sure if I can do that within the skin.

I have "the show votes instead of top 250 always" unchecked but i still get the votes and not the Top250 #place

Only 250 movies will have that tag, as indicated by its name. If it's not a Top250 movie, it will show Votes instead. The color of the IMDb logo indicates which it is (green = votes, gold = top250).

Note that this is entirely dependent on the scraper setting the Top250 flag.

Where are the "next tv air date" is shown now ? The option is checked but no next tv air date on my shows.

In the Info dialog.

@pagali, this commit fixes your problem. If you want the fix now, just download the current Includes_Variables.xml from github.

@great_vc, I don't think Top250 is working in the Universal Movie Scraper. I don't know why, but I downloaded this addon and it imported them.

As for the Votes value not fitting in the box, you might post a suggestion in the Universal Movie Scraper thread to allow users to modify how it's displayed so it can fit into smaller spaces.

You don't see the issue in MacGyver's mod because he put the flag in the media flags section where he gave it more space, but it does not belong there. That section is for flags relating to the media file itself (plus it would overlap the letter popup that shows when you scroll quickly). The flags on the left (where I put it) are for scraped information.

Works perfectly! Thanks for the quick and efficient fix!

Well it certaintly something is not right. With kodi 14.2 and metropolis 3.1 on a movie we see the top250 icon with its ranking, for example as i said on shawshank redemption i see the top#1 as an icon. With 3.2 and kodi 15.2 Even though i have the option "show always votes" NOT checked i get the number of votes icon and not its ranking place. I think that these is not suppose to happen.
Using universal scrapper on both installation, on 14.2 it works as it suppose to

[jingai]

@great_vc, I understand that something isn't right, but I'm not convinced it's the fault of the skin. The logic is basically identical between the two versions: if ListItem.Top250 is not empty and is not 0, it will show the Top250 flag. The only difference is 3.2.0 will only do the aforementioned if you've also got Show_VotesMediaFlagAlways unchecked.

And like I said, if I use the IMDb Update addon to set the Top250 flags for the media, it works fine.

So.. I'm not really sure why it's not working properly in Kodi 15.

[adito]

what about hebrew support?

[MacGyver]

You could try dropping this file in your 720 folder until Jingai adds something similar to the official version.

It should let you see Hebrew letters, but it won't look much like Metropolis without the Metropolis fonts and those fonts don't support Hebrew..

[adito]

where can I download the skin?
