Hm.
I have two playlists placed in the main menu.
Kidzmovies and Kidztvshow.
In the skinsettings i'm able to edit this entry. Also i can choose a background.
The skinhelper addon ( i think) you're using, gives the ability to choose random backgrounds. Random movieart, fanart and so on. Change is every 30sec.
The addon gives also the ability to choose backgrounds based on a playlist.
Its called intelligent backgrounds by playlist or favorites.
Marcel introduced this addon and feature in his titan.skin.
I've seen it (and chosen) in your estuary.mod.
But now its gone, broken whatever, but only backgrounds based on a playlist.

Its not that big thing, but a nice feature and you're using marcels addons, most are not leia compatible, so problems will occure.
PS: @mardukL fixed the backupaddon (skinsettingsbackup).

There is no support for script.skin.helper.backgrounds in my MOD, I only use script.artwork.helper for extrafanarts.

I just downloaded this mod. Very nice. I like the animated posters aswell. I have gone thru my library and manually added many. How can I add some newer posters that don't show up?

 When you enable Animated poster setting, animated artwork are automatically downloaded (it may take some times). If you want add manually, you need to use context menu and select 'Select animated artwork' option. 

I didn't realize there was such a setting. Is that new to this skin? Sounds great. Where exactly do you enable this? If I do not like it for some reason, can I just disable it and it will delete all the animated art without leaving the files behind? Is there a way to try it on a single title or two, before turning it on and having it download a lot of artwork before I have a sense for how it looks and works?

It's not new, this setting is present from the beginning. You can enable it in Settings / Skin Settings / Artworks. Animated Artworks are not deleted when you disable this setting but they are stored in userdata / addon_data / script.module.metadatautils / animatedgif folder and you can delete them.

Not sure if I should be posting this in the PVR section , please move if neccessary.
Modding PVR guide in estuary18, where please do i find either in xml's or textures , a way to remove the grey in the EPG grid ? I would like to replace it with a contrasting blue. I have color picker installed if needed.
I also want to change the button focus to a different yellow than that in the pic , have added a custom theme but it won't accept any hex codes other than those in  the Colour xml files in the skin .
thanks.

Hello, 

i hope anybody can help me without a log:


When I'm in the main menu and click on for example Kids (created source for animated Movies), I first see all the sources I've created, so movies, kids, tv-shows... So I do not land immediately in the library view.
With Krypton it ran flawlessly.

I go to main menu Customize in the skin settings

Then I go to the first menu item and click on Choose an entry for this menu

Then I click on video library
Then on sources
Here I select the source
and last but not least I go to "Create a menu entry here"
that's it, as soon as i go to the main menu on this newly created entry for example movies, then just the folders of my sources appear and that double and triple, even though i have only one folder for each source

This is the created command which works on Kodi 17 but not on 18 

ActivateWindow(Videos,special://profile/addon_data/script.skinshortcuts/1.xsp, return

The landing Page is here

https://picload.org/view/dlociwgw/kodi.jpg.html

Everytime i tried to configure the MainMenu in the Skin Settings it creates a new Source Folder

Is it a Skin issue?

I´m desperate...

Dear friends,

I am using this skin nor for quite a while, still I have not figured out how to do this:

Within the "TV" menu item I configured by using Skin Helper Service Widget to show my recently player TV channels. I picked "Poster panel" as appearence.
The posters are being grabbed, however I cannot see any text info of the current movie/tv show which is playing. At the bottom of the poster the name of the TV channel is show (which is also shown at the headerline level of the widget).

Is there a configuration item to show the title of the current movie/show instead of the channel name?


thx
kalle

 Yes there is some issue when Create a menu entry with Kodi 18 and skin shortcuts. The best way is to use smart playlist : https://kodi.wiki/view/Smart_playlists

Like that : 

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>Kids Movies</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="path" operator="is">
        <value>smb://NAS/video/Kids Movies/</value>
    </rule>
</smartplaylist>

Your file must have '.xsp' extension and copy it in userdata / playlists / video. And you can add it as menu item shortcut.

 It's not a skin issue and I can do nothing for that. Skin Shortcuts is not fully updated for Kodi 18.

 "Poster panel" as appearence is not really suitable for PVR because images are not posters but thumbnails.

[Guilouz]

Does anyone have PVR backend to share me to working more on PVR ?
