Ok my bad I didn't know I had to be on Kodi 18, Now I have added some menu but Can't change the menu icon

[flhthemi]

Welllllll....in 6.06 I noticed when a video is on screen playing the controls are now at the bottom instead of up top. Not a problem, kinda like it. But the time bar can no longer be used in conjunction with the mouse pointer. It can be advanced with the arrow keys, the mouse wheel and by clicking the mouse below the time line. (See: What Is That in pic) I'm thinking something needs an alignment and it ain't my old S10 pickup.

I don't use a mouse unless testing something so I didn't know about this sliders existence till right now...

Try latest Git please.

Can you also check if the Android mouse issue for Widgets is fixed?

I reworked that screen so hopefully I fixed whatever Gremlin was causing that.

Got the git - It works correctly now so no need for that refund

As for Android - Yeah you can now select widget 1 or 2 with the mouse but when you do all the menu items in the left panel disappear except for the one you're working on and the very 1st one at the top of the panel. In windows ALL the menu items vanish except the one you are currently working on. This might be due to it being a work in progress?

I like the up/down plus/X idea! Good thinking!

The menu items hiding is supposed to be like that. My thinking was why show the others when you are messing about with a Widget for that particular menu item.

Not sure if you are having an issue or not

The buttons idea is shamelessly copied from Artic Zephyr

Well there is a difference in Android and Windows in that ALL menu items are gone but the one you are working on (Windows) and the very 1st one AND the one you are working display (Android).

Just put the git version on my tablet (Android) and the TOUCH for Widget 1 and 2 isn't working

Skin isn't designed for touch devices...

You don't have to be on Kodi 18 just match the branch to your Kodi version. Only Krypton and up are getting new stuff though.

Re-install latest from Git cause the icon button somehow got deleted along the way and I just put it back in

[flhthemi]

Well now I'm laughing at myself...been using it on my tablets since I started using it. Guess I'll have to use a blue tooth KB from now on. Damn I should have just kept my mouff shut

Thanks again for the great skin and your help.

Looking to make some changes to the below View but can't seem to find the correct part and file to edit. Have looked in the Includes.xml and the Shift.xml. Essentially looking at:
- removing some of the icons on the bottom right
- remove the line under the movie title on the bottom left as the information is in the upper left panel
- remove the rating in the upper left panel as it seems to always get cut off.

The InfoPanel is in Includes.xml so might want to take another look. Most if not all floor images and labels are in MyVideoNav.xml for the video views.

I've been having issues with widgets in the skin. I use recent movies and recent episodes, on 2 machines sharing mysql DB, but the widgets don't seem to update correctly so the watched episodes or movies not being removed from the widget, or new episodes only added on the machine where library update is executed and to make them show on the other box I have to manually update the library. I've tried different data providers like DB, Kodi and Skin Helper - right now both using Skin Helper widgets, it's configured to not show watched, but the behavior is still the same. Any ideas?

Thank you

I'd need a debug log (wiki) so I can see basic info like widget path, skin and kodi version, etc...

I don't use MySQL DB so I have no idea if there is an issue when used.

here is the debug log:

this is he latest log from the second box right after library update on the first box:

Hiya have the glowbars been updated to work with kodi 17 thanks

There are no "GlowBars" in this skin.

Hey folks,

is there an option for album art to set it for permanent showing up? I checked out the xml Files in 16x9, but i cant find nothing. Did someone edited those File/s and can post a solution?

Thx

I really hope you are not asking how to keep the music info onscreen when there is a FAQ entry and a warning popup in the skin about it...

Yes, i read your FAQ and know it. Now my situation:

I bought my father for his birthday an Odroid C2 with a minimalistic Remote without any Info button. On previous Skins from other Scriptors the was an option to enable it.

Well I Totally uninstalled Kodi and Deleted Kodi Folder where all the files are stored. Did a Complete Fresh Install of Newest Krypton. Only installed your repo and Downloaded Skin. Downloaded Silvo From Github. Deleted all Files inside Kodi skin Folder. Copied all Files From Github into skin Folder Changed the Add-on File. Still Missing Names on Skin Settings Tab. But if I do the same thing using Kodi 18 minus the changing addon.xml everything works Great.

After Copying one File at a time from The older 6.0.5 to the New Github. I have found that Myweather.xml , SkinSettings.xml , custom_1117_AddonStatus.xml, and custom_1140_Colors.xml all had Issues that I explained earlier with the missing Text that tells me proper tabs meaning such as on the Help Section of the Skin wouldn't show Recommended, Required, Optional it was just Blank but I could click them and it would show me what I needed to do on the Right Panel just had to guess on the Left Side.

Can anyone tell me how I would change the colour of the box frames to red. For example in the settings menu the text would have a red frame around it instead of the plain frame that it has as standard. If anyone can help that would be great. I only have an andrroid box so I was hoping I could just edit an xml to change the colour.

Hey Mike,

I have several devices running krypton and your skin. but i also have one running jarvis / madnox (for some reason). and in the jarvis / madnox build, there is no issue. I have some pics to show the difference. But it seems like its all 4:3 pictures, that it tries to strech.

Jarvis / madnox build

Krypton / silvo build


Hope this helps in tracking down this little bugger.

Try latest Git please.


Hey Mike,

Tried the latest git, and i am still seeing the issue, only now there seems to be a dimmed effect over the fanarts?, happy to test further if you have some changes or something i should try out..

Thanks again for your efforts and a great skin.

A few quick questions and I apologize if this has been answered before:

1. For lyrics - is there a way to go back to the regular display of lyrics where the entire lyrics are displayed on the music playing screens instead of the animated lyrics that seem to be enabled by default in this skin? I am refering to how Estuary displays lyrics, rather than only the active line showing with the animations in the text.

2. TV Guide/TV Show Next Aired - Any way to change the layout from the horizontal display to the vertical display the way it is in Confluence?

3. On Kodi startup, the Silvo skin takes a good noticable 30-40 seconds to initialize and actually start to respond, where as the other skins are responsive almost immediately. Is this normal? I do not have any intro videos, just a library scan on startup.

[heula]

Unfortunatly the aspect ratio for live tv widgets are not mantained yet in 6.06.
Can you please take a look at it again?

I'm using square poster but all options still have the issue.

Thanks

The Widget is a button and like all buttons should be clickable.

Try checking the Kodi log for info on why it doesn't work for touch devices.

here is the debug log:

this is he latest log from the second box right after library update on the first box:

http://pasted.co/d31f7749

This over 10,000 line log doesn't give me any info other than you have banned addons (wiki) installed. You don't even turn on debug logging till line #10410.

I'm gonna say your install is borked and suggest you delete everything and start from scratch.

Yes, i read your FAQ and know it. Now my situation:

I bought my father for his birthday an Odroid C2 with a minimalistic Remote without any Info button. On previous Skins from other Scriptors the was an option to enable it.

What skins are you talking about? I'll install and see what they are doing differently.

Well I Totally uninstalled Kodi and Deleted Kodi Folder where all the files are stored. Did a Complete Fresh Install of Newest Krypton. Only installed your repo and Downloaded Skin. Downloaded Silvo From Github. Deleted all Files inside Kodi skin Folder. Copied all Files From Github into skin Folder Changed the Add-on File. Still Missing Names on Skin Settings Tab.

Something is wrong with how you are doing it then.

What do the instructions say in BOLD for the First FAQ entry?

Hey Mike,

It shouldn't stretch the image anymore cause of the aspectratio tag added. If it looks exactly the same then maybe you didn't install correctly

Dimmed fanart is likely caused by the Hide visualization behind fanart setting enabled when you have selected something other than waveform as your visualization.

1) Skin never showed anything more than 3 lines since a long time now. I might add the old way back but showing more than 3 lines isn't likely to happen.

2) Only one layout to select from ATM.

3) Do you have Widgets setup in this skin that are not in the "other skins"?
