Mod Arctic Zephyr: Generations (Jarvis / Leia) [3.4.70 / Coming Soon]

There is one thing that is still a big issue for me: in list views when the unwatched number of episodes is more than one digit, it won't display at all unless you're on the listed item, and then it scrolls. I know it was mentioned before quite awhile ago but it's never worked right. I tried completely resetting the skin and it's still doing it.

Where does the home screen fan art for the background slideshow load from?

Kodi DB or the internet?

Every time I open Kodi the first background is just black and other random backgrounds are black during the fan art slideshow.

It's made for the original version of AZ but maybe that's what you're looking for. I'd also hope that view would be added to the main skin...


For now however, 3.2.1 is shaping up to be the largest update and will likely be out sometime in March:

3.2.10 (3.2.10_bsrelease01) - "From Ashes Bluestone 3.2.1"
Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes "Spring Update"
Fixed Errors In Changelog
Replaced all instances of AZ Skin Helper with "regular" Skin Helper
Blue Accents New Default ("From Ashes" Style)
Orange Accents Now "Exploded" Style
New Icon Suite
Resolved Pink Text to Now Use Color Accents
About From Ashes Page Implemented
American Flag Now Used to Represent English Audio and Subtitles in Info Screen
Enhanced Music Hub Experience
New Watch Status Indicators
New Poster Wall View (By: bigbadrabbit [Kodi Forums])
Enhancements to Video Info Dialog Screen
Fix for System Information Screen
Optimizations to Reduce Install Size
Miscellaneous Changes and Enhancements for Jarvis


Any chance my poster view or some tweaked version gets added in the next update?

Okay, I see a lot of questions have piled up here. I'll get to those in a little while.

This is what we call a "feature request that fell through the cracks." It happens more often than not; will definitely have to come up with a better way to track feature requests.

A tweaked version of the Poster Wall View would need to be created. The reality is that furniture is a user choice and one view can't simply not support furniture.

As I have stated, Jarvis won't receive any new feature updates. It will continue to get patches to fix bugs until Kodi Krypton releases with bug fixes which are applicable to both Jarvis and Krypton taking precedence. An updated poster view is in the "new feature" category and thus squarely in the "Krypton only" category.

Lines on Jarvis support have to be drawn somewhere so that the transition to Krypton is smooth.

Speaking of which, a patch for Jarvis will be released this week to address issues introduced by 3.2.20.

I know there are many waiting for Krypton - it's getting there: very slowly.

I think I can answer my own question after looking in the logs. I've got lots and lots of lines like the following, about every 10 seconds.

Code:
00:02:22 T:8224 WARNING: XFILE::CDirectoryFactory::Create - unsupported protocol(image) in image://http%3a%2f%2fthetvdb.com%2fbanners%2ffanart%2foriginal%2f269022-2.jpg/

Is this a bug in the skin or a problem with the source website? If I reformat the URL and put it in my browser fan art loads.

@mdh99 - That should be:

Code:
media://path.to.media/the-image.jpg

It seems somewhere in the skin it is using the "image" protocol; probably an inherited problem from AZ:E. You are getting this with slideshow correct?

Since that will also have an effect on Krypton it means that it will be fixed on both versions.

Yes, it's happening during the home screen fan art slideshow. On my desktop, where the log file is from, it misses the first background and only a few after that,on my Nexus Player running SPMC, is never loads a background fan art image. It's always black on the homescreen. Very annoying. It's just another reason I want the slideshow back; the local wallpaper never failed. What is you don't have internet?

If it's not going to be fixed soon, is it something I can correct myself? I'm getting bored of the blank screen; I'm lucky if a background loads every few mins.

I'm having another issue, but I'm not 100% if it's the skin or the helper service. Kodi/SPMC will just hang for about 5 seconds; after the AZ splash screen and before the home screen logs, just get a black screen.

When looking at the log and the time stamp there is a noticeable pause and error.

I have only begun my investigation into the cause of the skin not having the fanart slideshow as the code is present in Home.xml:

Code:
<onload condition="System.HasAddon(script.grab.fanart)">RunScript(script.grab.fanart,mode=random,refresh=10)</onload>

With that said, this log file seems to indicate that a few errors are occurring: (1) There's a definition for don't show fanart on home that has an additional closing parenthesis and (2) the skin is trying to execute a missing script: script.favourites. The latter isn't part of the earlier development versions so I wouldn't put my money on that but I would put some money down on the former.

The problem will be tracking down that error. The majority of the changes were for the 4th Generation Color Enhancer, a few Jarvis fixes, and Rotten Tomatoes.

There is a hotfix update: 3.2.21 ("Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes Summer 2016 Rollup Patch Level 1 (PL1)") that will be released to address critical issues with the 4th Generation Color Enhancer.

Let's see if that resolves your problem first. If it does, that's one introduced issue down and a few more which were pointed out to go.

This update will be released Saturday, July 16th (or in other words: Sunday, July 17th because I need my own TARDIS to actually get the release date push right).

However, since this issue is affecting both Krypton and Jarvis it needs to be resolved so needless to say that it takes precedence over virtually any other issue as the home screen is the first thing you see.

Speaking of Krypton...

As we inch ever closer to the Alpha 1 release of Danvers, here are some work in progress images of the continued to be redesigned Skin Settings courtesy of @minus0. The redesigned Skin Settings is intended to allow you to much more easily navigate through all of AZ:FA's settings without having to dig for them. Everyone should really thank @minus0 for this one as it's virtually a complete re-write of the current Skin Settings code:

Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes (Dormer)
"Summer 2016 Update Rollup Patch Level 1 (PL1)"
3.2.21_dormer

After the multitude of changes to the code with the From Ashes Summer 2016 Update which apparently broke a lot of things, the From Ashes Summer 2016 Update Rollup Patch Level 1 (PL1) update for the Dormer branch aims to rectify these issues for Kodi Jarvis users.

These updates will be slipstreamed into the Alpha 1 release of Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes (Danvers Preview) for Krypton when it is released later this month.

Changelog

Code:
Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes "Summer 2016 Update Rollup Patch Level 1 (PL1)" - Released July 17, 2016

Question for Everyone: Would you prefer the continued "Long Term Support" of the Jarvis branch (i.e. fixing bugs) which in certain circumstances takes time away from Krypton or would you prefer all effort diverted to Krypton so the Alpha 1 version of this skin can be released ASAP?

Obviously you should focus on Krypton, but major bugs shouldn't be ignored Jervis until Krypton is actually released.

I updated AZ to v3.2.21, from zip, and I'm still getting regular blank wallpaper loading.

I honestly wouldn't care about the fan art bug if I could just tell AZ to only show local files.

I honestly wouldn't care about the fan art bug if I could just tell AZ to only show local files.

Okay, after a little light reading and seeing this issue pop up in Aeon Nox as well as on the Emby forums here: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/t...k-in-kodi/ I've come to learn that the image protocol is used as Kodi's default cache and is in fact an SQL database.

So far, the only resolution I've read in my light reading is to turn off path substitution (a function I didn't even know Kodi had by default). I will have to look into it because I can't reproduce the issue so I was hoping those few changes made would have resolved your issue.

To help single out this problem, it would be good to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue on Kodi Jarvis? It doesn't matter what platform but Windows is preferable as usually fixing the problem on Windows fixes it for everyone.

Basically, I need to know if it's just @mdh99 getting the issue or if there are others?

My log file, which is over 42,000 lines long because it's on a Pi at the moment (my Windows system is running Kodi 17) is just filled with remarks of regular syncs for metadata of new episodes as well as regular database and websocket information.

I checked OS X and the same is also true (sans the 42,000 lines).

It almost like your Kodi Cache database is corrupted or something strange is going on.

If you're referring to me, I'll look into it, it could coincide with an issue I had with the Kodi DB host. Out of no where I started having huge slowness issue on my NAS; I've since moved my Kodi DB to another host machine and Kodi is much more responsive. I only completed the move yesterday afternoon, so it could be too soon to tell, but it does feel like I'm getting less blank screens on the home screen.

It was working fine for be back here when I asked about local images slideshow. Unfortunately I can't remember when the issue started before or after updating to AZ v3.2.20, but looking to reset the artwork table or cache is something I'll look into before harassing you anymore. Wink

Thanks a bunch for all the help.

Posted the question in a different part of the forum, lets see what comes of it.

Obviously you should focus on Krypton, but major bugs shouldn't be ignored Jervis until Krypton is actually released.

I updated AZ to v3.2.21, from zip, and I'm still getting regular blank wallpaper loading.

Log file is again full of errors like the ones below. (This is from my Win10 machine with Kodi, but my Android Nexus Player with SPMC has the same problem.)

It almost like your Kodi Cache database is corrupted or something strange is going on.

1 thing to notice is the images all have a trailing /, ie. somepath://someimage.jpg/
I *think* this happens more with SMB shares.
Or how images are being added to DB, ie. someone is not checking or terminating paths properly and adding a '/'.
Or the path you set, try removing '/' [may not be issues but as you say you set the path].
