@Blurayx -- Hmmm, that is strange. I'm going to have to get some test 4kHDR files as I don't have any. Also, are you using a Textures.xbt file? Because those OSD controls are the old ones (or did you change them on purpose?). Unfortunately not possible to close the OSD after a certain amount of time without doing something hacky.

 

Regarding auto close OSD after a certain amount of time. I've just discovered the auto close works on my Nvidia Shield tablet. I'm curious why it only works on the tablet   

Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this implemented in SkinHelper.AutoCloseVideoOSD? I'd love that feature as well.

You're right but there aren't any settings options

Yeah, I think it has to be implemented by the skin creator.

That's what I was thinking. from what jurialmunkey said it's a bit complex to setup. What I don't understand it only works on my Nvidia table, not the Shield TV.
I think Braz or jurialmunkey may know.

Could we have an option to prefer TV show artwork rather than episode "artwork" in widgets? Or is that controlled by the video resource (in this case plexkodiconnect)? Yep, plexkodiconnect controlled. Never mind.

@Blurayx @pannal - Ah, I forgot the SkinHelper can do the Auto Close OSD. Added on latest git. Skin Settings > Video / Music OSD > Auto close OSD controls (set delay in seconds)
@Blurayx - if you use touch/mouse to bring up the controls Kodi will auto close them by default after a short delay. That's probably the reason why you see it auto close on a touch device.

@jurialmunkey could you also add season and episode info to the info pop up screen of regular local media? You did this per my request for the live tv section and just noticed that when playing locally stores media the info screen just shows the title. Season and episode number somewhere would be helpful.

@jurialmonkey did you notice my suggestion above? Seems like it should work this way for consistency sake but feel free to ignore if you just don’t want to implement it.

Update. Maybe it was just the show I was watching at the time or it got fixed in between my original request and now but it seems to be fixed. Note, not that it’s a big deal at all but it’s not in the same order as the PVR info pop up.

PVR = series name (bold headline) - season/episode# - episode name (small sub headline)

Library item = episode name (bold headline) - series name- season/episode# (small sub headline)

Yeah I originally had it the other way around to match with tvshows, but @loggio pointed out that it was more useful to have the show name on the main headline label when using PVR. I agreed because there are many tvshows that don't have episode names (e.g. News / Sports etc.). For tvshows from the library, I think having the episode name is probably the most important info because you already know what show you are watching (where as with PVR you might be flipping between channels).

Saw you comment on a "libray stats" thread, any thoughts on adding some sort of Dialog for Aura with a breakdown ?

"See: http://kodi.wiki/view/Skinning_Manual#Window_2

Code:

Code:

$INFO[Window(home).Property(Movies.Count)]

This will show the total number of movies scraped to your library. It will work anywhere in the skin except inside a list itemlayout/focusedlayout container iirc because window properties cannot be accessed inside lists.

You can replace movies.count with any of the following properties:
Movies.Count, Movies.Watched, Movies.UnWatched, TVShows.Count, TVShows.Watched, TVShows.UnWatched, Episodes.Count, Episodes.Watched, Episodes.UnWatched, MusicVideos.Count, MusicVideos.Watched, MusicVideos.UnWatched, Music.SongsCount, Music.AlbumsCount, Music.ArtistsCount"

@jurialmunkey Thanks for the implementation of auto-close-OSD!

Did you see my longer response a page ago? I had some improvement requests in there, want me to sum them up separately?

Is it possible to See ratings on the Widget view ?

And another one: Is there a way to bind the settings popup/context menu that's opened when pressing the little cogwheel on the OSD of fullscreen playback? I'd like to have a quick-access-button for that.

Thank you!

After Kodi loads, it takes about 6-7 seconds for the background blur effect to take place. Is it normal?

Yes. There is a 5 second delay before the colorbox daemon is set. @badaas (colorbox dev) advised this to ensure that it loads correctly - I'm not sure of the technical details, however. 

 Yup, standard. Daemon needs to be running properly before setting anything.

Is it possible to add a HDR Media Info to the osd ?
