I don't like any of the other skins out there for one or more reasons but somehow your skins are first class.
Once the skin is more mature I'll test it on my daily PVR capable htpc.
Haha, thanks
Yeah navigation is something that is really important that can often be overlooked.
PVR testing would be great as I no longer have working PVR as I can't get reception at my place, so now I rely on the demo pvr addon for skinning.

I use the SimpleFavourites add-on to organize addons and videos.
It would be helpful to assign views as needed for these.
for example a VideoFavourites folder assigned to a home widget or a submenu appear in tile view. I would prefer it to display as a normal video with poster view.
Why not use library nodes or smart playlists to organise videos?
I will probably end up caving and adding view options eventually, but for now it is a bit of a pain to code (particularly for home widgets) whilst also maintaining the original idea of having the view automatically selected.

I can see what you are saying, but I think it sort of defeats the purpose and idea of the skin. There are plenty of full screen viewtype skins out there. I am specifically going for something a little different here.

This was the second thing i think of... I would like to have an option to change from the current view, that it is either poster,thumbnail or square to a simple list...For example at TV shows/Seasons i already see the same poster twice...I think it wiould look better if i had seasons in list view and keep the big poster on the left as it is now....I hope you understand what i mean...
Nevertheless you and your skins ROCK
Yeah I can see the value in having the option for a list view in seasons, will eventually add an option for this.

I reversed the direction (definitely should've been going the other way!). But I'm not so keen on speeding it up, I'm not sure if the speed changes depending on the system, but on what I've tested on I think it is fast enough as is. You can always make that change yourself as its not difficult.
(2017-03-27, 17:17)meridius Wrote: also could you have a poster view like this without the movie info
and then when you select the movie it then slides up like this but could be in time with the disc slide up
also would be great if you could place the trailer button next to the play button instead of cast
I have been meaning to add an option for this, so I've added it on latest git.
Skin Settings > Miscelllaneous > Hide plot
Also moved the trailer button.

can you please add a do not pause option when accessing information for TV shows and movies
The OSD shouldn't close at all previously. But I do agree that it makes sense to close it when downloading subtitles, so I've made that change.
I've added the don't pause option
Skin Settings > Video/Music OSD > Pause video when opening information

When you actually select the widget, you have a border around the selected item (poster or otherwise), but not when the menu option is selected and the widget is shown and auto scrolls.
Also, would you consider adding a button to lookup all artwork for a movie/tv show via Artwork Downloader? I don't know what the mode is called, but in other skins you can lookup all available artwork for a movie or tv show. For example, in Aeon MadNox, the option is called Artwork Downloader - Auto. In this mode, you don't have to select which artwork type to download, it just downloads all available artwork. I find this really useful when you just have added a few movies or tv shows, instead of letting Artwork Downloader run against the whole library to update the artwork for a few items. In my case, this is significant, since I have 4500+ movies and 400+ tv shows in my library.
I'm not so keen on adding an indicator when not focused as I feel it distracts from where the proper focus is. Plus the big poster and title should tell you what item is focused (though I understand with tv episodes the appeal, but overall I think it is distracting).
Added an option to switch the artwork button to download all.
Skin Settings > Artwork > Artwork button downloads all available artwork ...
