@Edworld - do you mean library playlists or currently playing playlist? Now playing playlist can be accessed from side menu in library. The library smart playlist section can be added as a shortcut to main menu. Or do you mean something else?

I have a handful of playlists - one is my criterion collection. Is there an easy way of accessing it or do I need to create a shortcut?

Edworld, you can create a menu item (shortcut) to each playlist, but you need to be careful not to exceed 12 menu items which I recall is the limit in Horizon. Also, you can add a shortcut to your video playlists, and each playlist would be a submenu option. You can also add a playlist as a menu item, and add other playlists as submenu items. I do just that for my Oscars group of playlists.

@Edworld, as bsoriano said, you should be able to create a menu shortcut to playlists:
Video Library > Playlists


"Playlists" under video library will make an entry to all your playlists (it has an icon of four horizontal lines like a list).
"Playlist >" under video library will allow you to select individual playlists (it has a floppy disk icon which I should figure out how to change to a folder icon).

Thank you very much. This is quite confusing to me, how do you get the runtime from an strm file? Or do they have .nfo files where the runtime is stored?

When I scanned them to the library the scraper pulled in the runtime info - so its not from the file, but what is available on themoviedb or imdb.

Hi Jurial, how difficult could be to add scrollbars into the file manager screen? I have folders with tons of files and it takes a while to scroll down one by one.

Thanks

Is it possible to have battery level in the video OSD somehow? Anywhere at all, just wondering, a xx% is all.

It is, but I'm hesitant to add it as Kodi (and the skin) is designed for use on a tv.

You can add it next to the date in the clock by editing Includes_TopBar.xml line 348 which is

Code:

<label>$INFO[System.Date]</label>

and change it to

Code:

<label>$INFO[System.Date]$INFO[System.BatteryLevel, • Battery ,]</label>

Are you mrfrog on the plex forums by any chance?

If you mean the plex for kodi add-on, that is an issue with the plex for kodi add-on not with any Kodi skins. The plex for kodi developers have stated multiple times that the default skin is required for the PFK add-on to display/work properly. Consider yourself lucky if PFK works with a different skin, but is not the skins problem if it does not.

Im not Mrfrog and yes plex for kodi addon from the kodi repo

Thanks for the info I hope plex devs can fix that

Can't reorder widgets unfortunately. Skin Shortcuts doesn't really provide any method to do it. I am trying to figure out a good way to do it as it is my number one frustration.

Fred's version of ftv does have widget rearrangements

Yeah it uses a completely different method of setting the widgets that uses a custom window rather than skin shortcuts. But more importantly, the widget movement code it uses is fairly complex and involves a good few hundred lines of code at least. And it isn't a matter of just copy and paste because the implementation is quite different. I know how to do it that way, but I'm really trying to avoid implementing something that uses that much code for something that appears so simple on the user end. If it comes down to it, I would way rather write a python script to do it I think.

You'd have to ask in the plex for kodi forum (on the plex site) - but I don't think it is necessarily something that is broken or can be fixed. It is just the way it is, the add-on is coded based on the default skin.

If you are looking to use your plex library and be able to use any of the kodi skins, you may want to look at the plex kodi connect (PKC) add-on. I moved to PKC from Plex for Kodi and am not looking back. Especially because of this awesome skin jurialmunkey has assembled here.

Probably not worth the trouble

When trying to set fallback image I'm getting "toolbox error"

Any ideas?

Just trying music playback, if I press C it flashes some window on the left and disappears, is that disabled in this skin? Just checked wiki and there's a sidebar, is that not in Horizon? Just messing about as I've never used music in xmbc/kodi.
