 It seems to me that new accounts can not sent PM. Have you try my changes ?  

Thank you. In order to try this I have to get Kodi 18 nightly installed (currently running 17.6). Please allow me to clarify a few things about installation.

Earlier I asked about how to install MOD 2 with dependencies and trying to understand what I had to install manually vs what would be downloaded/installed for me automatically. You said "Others repository need to be installed manually too. Necessary addons will be installed automatically, but for others just go in skin settings -> necessary addons and you will be able to install them." but I wasn't sure what that meant in terms of I needed to do. Can you please clarify? Something like:

- install Kodi 18 nightly (I know how to do this)
- next, install your skin from the zip file from your repo
- then I'm confused... just go to skin settings->necessary addons and download anything that shows up there, and then that's it? Or do I have to manually download/install other zips or from other repos?

Also regarding replacing the files in estuary folder, what's a good way to do that from the Nvidia Shield? I'm new to the Shield, Andriod and Kodi, but not new to computers. Just not sure what the full path is to the estuary folder and the best way to get the files from a USB stick to that. Or if you want to send me a test full zip I can install from that instead of the repo?

Thank you very much for your time and interest in this very exciting option to use MOD V2 with zoomed projectors.  

I send you a full zip file in PM.

- Install last kodi nightly
- Install my repo and others
- Install my skin
- Go to skin settings / Necessary addons and install others addons. 

 PM received - great, thank you! Just a few clarifications please:

1- For "install my repo and others" - by "others" specifically you mean ONLY Marcelveldt's BETA Repository and Rector Stuff Repository?  So three in total, including yours?
2- For installation of these 3 repos, do this: "Settings / Add-ons / Install from Zip file" and select each of these 3 zips, one at a time, yes?
3- After the above completes,  I should NOT go to "Settings / Add-ons / Install from repository / Guilouz Repository / Look and feel / Skin" and install Estuary MOD V2 which would install your public Estuary. But instead, I should install the private build zip you sent me separately, yes? For this I would install this like a 3rd party skin from a zip, like I did with ScopeNox?  I suppose then that I do not really need to install your repo (step 1) since I'm installing your skin from a local zip?
4- After that completes, go to skin settings / Necessary addons. I'm not familiar with this step. Will it figure out all the necessary add-ons on its own or do I need to figure that out and select these from a big list?
5- Enable Scope Mode setting in Skin settings / Extras I assume.

Thank you again.

 1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes, if you install zip file I send you it's not necessary but if you want to have future updates it's needed.
4. Just click on list to install them. It's not necessary to install optional addons but if you want all functionality of my skin, it's needed.
5. Yes

NB : I my test zip file I have moved OSD for 2.40:1 format

 I think you have missed something, when I removed this lines, I obtain this :

 

I remove this line? Is it right?


What about duration, you know to fix it?
It's show if I use normal estuary 

No, lines I have mentioned corresponding to last git version.

No idea, it's working on OSX and LibreELEC builds, I don't have Windows.

This is exact same issue I report on the last version or so, using Android. No time or file duration.

 Not a skin issue, I use ListItem.EndTimeResume and ListItem.Duration infolabels from Kodi core and they are working on OSX and LibreELEC builds.

Hi,

I have a little requirement. Maybe you have time to do it and think this is a good idea...
It´s about the ratings: In skin settings there are three options: Dont show ratings on poster, show my own ratings, show ratings from TMDB / IMDB.

I would like to have a fourth option: Show my ratings, if there is a rating, if not, show instead rating from provider (IMDB / TMDB).
I think this could be useful for many user because I have ~600 movies in my database, but I have rated ~200 movies.
For this movies, I would like to see my rating in the views (on the poster). For all other movies, I would suggest to show the ratings from IMDB / TMDB.

Maybe you could design it in a different way (circle for own ratings, box for provider-ratings), so on the first view you can see if the rating is from my own or from provider.


Thanks so much for your great skin!

By default it's already the case (it's a custom window with ID 1100), you can use ActivateWindow(1100).  

thanks a lot!

One more question:

Is it possible to change the default artwork which is shown when music is playing?  

 Artworks on music visualisation are the same as library, so if you change artworks in library, they will be changed on music visualisation. 

Sorry, I meant the default fallback picture. This one:

I will see what can I do.

Fallback image can't be changes except if you change it manually in Estuary folder.

I'm trying to add some values to Custom_1135_PVROverlay.xml, but some values are not working:
Here is the code to display some InfoLabels:

Code:

<control type="label">
                    <top>-350</top>
                    <left>1330</left>
                    <top>20</top>

                    <width>480</width>
                    <label>0 SeekTimeLabelVar: $VAR[SeekTimeLabelVar]</label>
                </control>
                <control type="label">

                    <label>4 VideoPlayer.NextDuration: $INFO[VideoPlayer.NextDuration]</label>
                </control>

For me Player.Duration and Player.TimeRemaining is not working. What is strange, that Player.Duration is used in SeekTimeLabelVar, which works.
Has someone a hint, why my code is not working?
Thx

 Working : 

$VAR[SeekTimeLabelVar]

$INFO[VideoPlayer.NextDuration]


Not working :

$INFO[Player.TimeRemaining], for PVR you must use $INFO[PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime]

$INFO[Player.SeekTime] - $INFO[Player.Duration], for PVR you must use $INFO[PVR.EpgEventElapsedTime] and $INFO[PVR.EpgEventDuration]

[Solo0815]

Thx! Will try it out
Those Values are not in the Wiki, that's why I missed it!

[Thebatfink]

Not a skin issue, I use ListItem.EndTimeResume and ListItem.Duration infolabels from Kodi core and they are working on OSX and LibreELEC builds.

Thanks for the reply. I hate to argue but I beg to differ. Same as the last guy said is same for me - default Estuary skin the durations are fine. Only with Estuary Mod v2 does it not work. I think that exactly means it is a skin issue no?

[Guilouz]

Thx! Will try it out

 I have improve it on last git :

[Solo0815]

Thx. I wanted to make it a little bit like this: https://imgur.com/yZRJago
I'm not sure about the channelname above the infobox

Can you confirm that VideoPlayer.StartTime does not return the StartTime of the EPG event? Like it is described in the Wiki?
It worked in Krypton ...
