In 3.6.63/62 the scroll bar in the media views seems to have disappeared. If you enable the alphabet quick jump the letter bar appears, but when disabled there is no scroll bar. I know there was a discussion about (optionally) making the scroll bar always disappear, but I don't see any options yet to control it -- am I just missing something?

This has to be the best skin out there, my wife hates the fact we've switched as there's a problem I can't seem to overcome, despite reloading Kodi from scratch several times,

I install the Openelec version of Kodi, and all was working well on Helix, now on Isengard with Titan (and I've tried Titan beta as well) the library will not update, just says "scanning". The updating works on other skins, just not Titan.....

If I change skins after attempting to update the libray on Titan, nothing updates until I reboot.

I've a simple setup, movies and TV Series on a USB3 attached drive, all this on an Intel i3 driven box.

Please help, we are really missing the experience of Titan and I've no idea what to do next.

Make sure that your Kodi version matches the Titan version:
Kodi 15.x = Titan 3.5.x
Kodi 16.x = Titan 3.6.x

Also, don't mix stable skins with beta skin helpers... However, Pro tip: you can have stable and beta skins installed at the same time so you can switch back and forth to test new features.

A little more fine tuning of some of the classic media flags.... http://not4hire.net/Share/audiochannels.zip

I don't see any letters when I push right/down (vertical/horizontal layout), I do see that background overlay. If I disable quick jump the scroll bar highlights and functions as expected. I have the same results on windows, Fire TV and Android TV (in both Kodi and SPMC).

Well, that's because that feature depends on a new version of the skinhelper service addon which is still pending to be updated on the Kodi repo unfortunately. If you want you can update manually, just download the latest version from here and install by zip:

I will add this request to my TODO list, will be picked up within a couple of weeks.

Thanks that did the trick, I knew there must of been something like that.

While still not as good as being able to just hit a letter/number(on remote) as I was used to prior to switching to Kodi, definitely way better than before with a large library like we have.

Thanks for the tip :-)

I've since dumped Openelec (which is a shame as it is great) and gone for KodiBuntu, upgraded to the 16.1 and Titan is working great!

Many thanks, I'm putting this down to an issue with the OpenElec config.

When you hit info on a widget it brings up the info page but it seems to be missing the overlay(not sure it that's the right word), the part behind the text which makes it easier to read.

The background is working just fine for me. Perhaps you can check the option to 'Hide Panel Background' in the bottom buttons of the info panel. You may just have inadvertently disabled it?

I think that will probably the only solution to get it 100% right. I will work on this later this week and I'll report to you once it's available to test.

The video becomes slow and skips frames. The skin also becomes slow when navigating menus. Confluence skin plays background video just fine so it might not be an issue with the device. Please fix this, it's very annoying.

Sounds like your hardware can't handle the GUI being rendered on top of the playing video.
Sorry, I can't help you with that. Note that Confluence is a very leightweight skin while Titan has all bells and whistles so you can't compare the two of them. If you're running underpowered hardware, stick with a leightweight skin such as Confluence or Amber.

That said, I'm currently testing the skin with a raspberry Pi and I see no issues at all with the video playing in the background.

Could be true... Only for single images the background is copied to the skin folder (and thus the special path used)

Hi at all.
Titan is a very very great skin. Thank you for that. Good job.

Is there a special reason, why the repo version is still at 3.6.59 and not updated yet?

If you are saying that all add-ons have to be compatible with the widgets than it is fine. Can you point me please to any docs where I can find add-ons - widgets technical information ?

What I'm saying is that each addon will have it's own implementation how the content is cached -or not-
Did you try to enable the forced refresh option in the skin settings - configutre shortcuts - widget settings ?

Be aware that any modification you make will be overwritten by skin updates. Maybe share your modifications here ? Might be that other users find it usefull too and I can include it in the skin so we all benefit ;-)

Did you test it again with the latest beta update ?
I couldn't reproduce the error but I found a small typo in the code which could be related.

Sure it use to be there

Side menu in the views ? Maybe you enabled kiosk mode or disabled the sidemenu indicator ?
