I'm having trouble installing the update, I can copy the temp folder to the skin folder but theres no way it do it automatically

Hmm, that's out of my hands. Apparently Kodi still had the folder locked and couln't unpack the new update. Maybe it's because of the very frequent updates I do now while bugfixing.
Keep an eye on it when the next update comes please. Maybe just a simple Kodi restart can fix it or it's ok at next update.

I use emby server and emby recognize de animatedgif and show it in webbrowser but when emby for kodi import the image , import them like a jpg and still image. Can you add some feature to skin helper to solve that

Not possible, you can't use the animated art together with emby. You must use the skin's function to grab the animatedart.

Dialogvideoinfo now shows file name path below the panel background and it is very hard to read when you have a white background. Not sure if it has been like this and I just noticed it.

Also for fanarts, if you have 2 movies with the same title, it displays the same fanart for both. Example: Beauty and the Beast (1946) and Beauty and the Beast (1992)

My OSD display doesn't automatically close during any TV/Movie playback. I have a 4 sec setting on it. Anyone else notice this?

This issue should be fixed yesterday

Hmm still having issues on all devices 1 x PC, 3 x Shields. OSD doesn't auto close after a pause, skipping, fast forwarding is ok. pausing OSD with buttons stays on the screen until I press back on remote or escape on keyboard.

Found an issue. I've set videos to choose instead of play. When I open a video up to watch I click. On it the usualy a box appears, play, info etc... But. This box is way up the top left on my screen out of view. I click up on my keyboard then enter and the video plays. My TV and kodi are both set to the correct resolution and it all appears fine apart form this one issue so far

In the skin settings, you enable "Prefer animated posters" and you're all set. Please note that this feature is not working properly in the current skin version on kodi repo. The beta repo version should work fine.
Another note is that animated art is only available for a few hundred of movies so you will only see the animated art for some of your movies.
Once the feature is enabled it will auto scrape available animated art. You can also use the contextmenu to set it manually if you like.

1) Strange, it should really display the filename inside the box/panel. can you make a screenshot ?

2) Do you have those 2 movies setup in a path where the title is appended to the folder ? I guess not, please do so and it will be fixed.

I can't reproduce this one. Does it happen all the time or only sometimes or at certain conditions ?

Worked fine on a movie. Aloud me to to pick a stream and then it loaded up fine. Think it could be in library only. Just opened up an Addon that I won't mention and looks OK. Actually.... Looking at this menu now, think it's the resume from... And start from beginning menu that pops up. It looks fine via Addon but no in my. Library. It's Def this option/menu as I know there are only two options that I can pick from. I'll look into it tomorrow as I'm off to bed now

Thanks for the hard work. A couple of questions.

1. After enabling animated posters, scrolling thru the library is difficult. Scrolling sticks(pauses) on each press down or up. Is this Kodi, Titan skin, or a problem with my HTPC. The HTPC- i5 3570, 8gb, Nvidia 750ti.

2. What content is the spotlight widget used for? I use it to launch websites, with Advanced Emulator Launcher but the image is blank. How do you add custom images to the spotlight widget? Am I using spotlight correctly or no?

Thanks

Firstly thanks again Marcel for a great skin (I haven't used anything else for ages!!)

I'm running latest Kodi Nightly (1st Dec) and latest Titan BETA 3.7.36. I use the "Enhanced all-in-one homescreen" view

For the last few version of the skin I cant get the "Live TV" menu to display properly. I get no "Spotlight" showing and no "Recordings" are shown on the right hand side of the screen.

I thought this might have been a problem with upgrading from one version to another but I've tried resetting skin to defaults and also completely removed the skin (uninstall within Kodi and also remove all folders/files manually) and re-install but still get this same problem.

Is there a known way to fix this so far ?

Thanks

Good Marcel!

As always it is a pleasure to deal with your wonderful skin.

I have the latest TITAN version installed, I have a problem with the widgets of the main menu in both series and movies, it is not updated well nor the progress (percentage top right) nor changes episode once seen.

Regards, and thank you very much

Good Marcel!

Since I've put the skin on my computer (windows 10, 64bit, Kodi 17 beta6) At the time of starting Kodi I shut down unexpectedly (Windows has stopped working) I attached the whole log to see what it can be.

a greeting

1) Animated artwork is heavy, VERY heavy for your system. Especially when it's enabled inside the lists itself.
In the latest beta I have added an option to only display the animated art in the details/info panel so it will be less resource hungry.
In your case I's suggest to enable that option.

2) The spotlight widget has 2 functions: It can be loaded with a widget on its own or it will display the info/details of the normal active widget.
It is mainly used to display e.g. the latest movies or something. To launch apps/addons you can better use a submenu or use the (super) favourites widget
