Regarding your blur response from last night...

Other than your own personal preference there is no good answer. The old blur works perfect as a background color for dialogvideoinfo but may not be as great for fanart as you browse through movies.

Same could be said about the new blur, it blurs but you kind of see the fanart. And if you can see the fanart, you might as well turn it off and enjoy the fanart.

My opinion is based on movies / tvshows, I don't have music in kodi yet...

[jurialmunkey]

@Edworld -- I think you might've misunderstood me. I definitely prefer the *more blurred* "old" version. In fact, I never changed the settings for that - blur size has always been set at "5". The settings I changed related to the new colour matching features in the *github* version of colorbox. However, what happened was that these new setting values caused an error in the *repo* version of colorbox. This error in the code caused it to use its inbuilt default values which is a lower blur size instead of the value I was setting it at. I wasn't seeing this error because I was using the github version of colorbox and so the blur looked like the normal *more blurred* version.

TL;DR -- The intended value has always been the *more blurred* value. New color matching settings used for the github version of colorbox caused an error in the repo version of colorbox. This error caused the repo version of colorbox to override my settings with its own defaults.

got it!

A number higher than 5 increases blur?

[jurialmunkey]

Yeah higher numbers increase blur.

You should be able to tweak it by changing the value in Startup.xml

Code:

<onfocus>Skin.SetString(colorbox_blursize,5)</onfocus>

You have to restart kodi for it to take effect.

I must say your skins are rocking! Currently using fuse(neue) and its great but this promises to be even better. Just a quick question...do you plan on incorporating hubs? I think that would expand its capabilities greatly

My bad. I'm a newbie on the forum....hadn't seen the search box.

You can change blur size anytime with (and same for quality/pixels/bits etc.):

Code:

SetProperty(NINE_manual_set,"var=blursize,set=5",home)

This will change it without restart, you can force it to fire on unfocus or w/e by (or whichever daemon multi number you are using):

Code:

<onunfocus>SetProperty(FIVE_daemon_fire,True,home)</onunfocus>

I use a button like so in settings:

Code:

        <control type="button" id="11117">
            <description>widget</description>
            <include>ButtonCommonValues</include>
            <label>32000</label>

            <onclick>SetProperty(RefreshItem,$LOCALIZE[32000],home)</onclick>

            <visible>String.IsEqual(Window(home).Property(cfa_daemon_set),blur) | String.IsEqual(Window(home).Property(FIVE_daemon_set),blur)</visible>
        </control>

The colorbox_* strings get set by python for future use (BUT they have to be initialised by XML first, python cant create strings afaik). All settings are done via daemon startup RunScript code, and then by propertys, colorbox_* aren't checked, they are merely used to save settings for future use by skins.

ie.

Code:

            <onfocus condition="!Skin.HasSetting(colorbox_blursize)">Skin.SetString(colorbox_blursize,5)</onfocus>

or allow user sizes, ie pixelsize:

Code:

        <control type="button" id="11119">
            <description>widget</description>
            <include>ButtonCommonValues</include>
            <label>32001</label>
            <label2>$INFO[Skin.String(colorbox_pixelsize)]</label2>
            <onclick>SetProperty(RefreshItem,$LOCALIZE[32001],home)</onclick>
            <onclick>Skin.SetNumeric(colorbox_pixelsize)</onclick>
            <onunfocus>SetProperty(NINE_manual_set,"var=pixelsize,set=$INFO[Skin.String(colorbox_pixelsize)]",home)</onunfocus>
            <onunfocus>SetProperty(FIVE_daemon_fire,True,home)</onunfocus>
            <visible>String.IsEqual(Window(home).Property(cfa_daemon_set),pixelate) | String.IsEqual(Window(home).Property(FIVE_daemon_set),pixelate)</visible>
        </control>

I will try to update kodi repo once I feel latest changes are stable, I don't want to waste kodi devs time re-submitting bugfixes
Or you can add my repo, and I will try to keep that updated regular @ https://github.com/BADMS/repository.BADM...-1.0.0.zip

caveat emptor: before installing off my repo ensure jurial approves it, and is upto date with any changes I have made! o-)

Hi jurialmunkey,

I must admit this skin is slowly growing on me

Feature Request:


Would it be possible to add an option to control the occupancy or disable the lower half of the box?





Thanks

[jurialmunkey]

Turn off show discart. I've got to update the label for the setting to include character art

Ah i thought they were independent of each other, i liked having movies show discart and tvshows show logos

I've now added an option to toggle character art with the other settings.

With the way the widget code currently works, this is actually quite difficult to achieve and I would basically have to rewrite the code for it, so its a no for now unfortunately.

[Blurayx]

@jurialmunkey,

No problem, I had a feeling that would be the case.

Would it be possible to have an option for the artist name to be included in the info box, to make more use of the unused space?



Thanks

[foghat]

Is there any way to do a chapter skip using the OSD or seek bar? If not, how do you feel about adding some chapter skip buttons to the OSD?

[foghat]

Think I found a bug: ff you resume a movie from a widget, the Extended Info is greyed out in the OSD. I have tried from the script helper 'recently added' and 'now playing' widgets

If you resume from the 'all movies' list, Extended Info is selectable.

The problem is that if you have a longer artist name it can push the album title off:
e.g. The Velvet Underground - White Light / White Heat

You can view chapters and skip from the BOOKMARKS osd item.

Works fine for me. Sounds like whatever is supplying your content is not setting the videoplayer content type correctly. The button will only show if content type of videoplayer is movies or episodes.
