Hi sualfred!
Great work on the subtitle options! There's one thing that's been bugging me for a while...
I tried to get rid of some micro stuttering that occurs while watching HDTV. I tried all of the video options kodi has to offer until I decided to start over and wiped my userdata folder ending up back with Estuary... and the stuttering was gone...
So reinstalled fTVFred and everthing was screwed up again (I mean the stuttering ;-))
So, that made me curious and I started looking into the skin's xml files. The xml loaded while watching is VideoFullScreen.xml. My first (rather brutal) attempt to get to the culprit was to wipe the whole file... Guess what, the stuttering was gone!
At first I thought nothing was missing, and all of the OSD elements there were just redundant (probably from Hitcher's initial release) and are obviously stored somewhere else (e.g. VideoOSD.xml) but after a while I noticed stuff like FastForward and Rewind arrows are missing...
Is this something you can look into? It might boost the performance on some weaker hardware (like my Atom X5 box)
Thanks a lot!!

It makes no sense, because all controls are invisible during the normal playback.
And I never faced such an issue, even on a slow Pi2. But to be honest, the last time I've started my Pi2 was 5 months ago.
Do you use Windows, OE, LibreElec, OSMC?

China lemonware. Even with good specs on the paper, it's still a China lemon.
A lot of those have CPU throtteling problems.
Just can give you hints to solve the problem:
- Check your deinterlacing and player decoding settings
- Check for driver updates
- Check for RAM/CPU eating background processes
- Try a fresh Windows installation
- Try LibreElec to get a small and clean Kodi
- Replace the device with a small Intel NUC/ASRock Beebox

Thanks for your advice. Since I didn't want to mess with my main box in the living room (my family would've killed me ;-), I set up Kodi on my work notebook (Lenovo Core i3, so hardware should't be an issue...). The outcome is the same. When displaying the codec infos I could see that kodi skips 1-2 frames per second (and counting). So I switched back to Estuary there's no frame skipping...That's why I think this is skin related. You're right about all the elements in the xml being hidden, but I think the cause of this issue is that those elements are faded out out instead of being hidden...
One thing I noticed that might help: Even in Estuary frames are skipped when hitting 'i' for OSD infos. So my guess is there's something on the screen that's just faded out.

There is no element in VideoFullscreen.xml, which is just faded out.
I have no noticeable stuttering with LiveTV (TV Headend as backend) on an i7 Haswell PC, i7 Skylake laptop, i3 Skylake NUC and RPi2. Deinterlacing is enabled/50hz PAL.
If you really think it's skin related, just do me a favour and remove each single control group step by step to investigate the problem.

I'm using your repo and latest Krypton nightly, and updating to the latest build (3.1.5 I think) fails when doing 'check for updates'.
Any ideas?

Hello-
Great skin/mod.
I'm using a DVBlink PVR backend together with two Android TV devices (Nexus Player and Android TV).
Is it possible to display thumbnails instead of generic folder icons for Recorded TV series folders? I feel like I must be missing something to enable this. (Thumbnails are working for individual episodes.)
Thanks.
Ron

Sorry, nope. It's a folder and it has no own thumb.
