Hi @latts9923

I made some tests and I found a probably issue in managing the right movie case, at least in right list view

If I have a movie or a movies set stored in a folder where in the path there is UHD or something else like this, even if the movie haven't UHD resolution a 4k case and media info are wrongly applied.
If the movie or the movies set are stored in a folder where in the path there isn't UHD or something else like this, the right case and media info are applied.

Please look at below 2 screenshot for describing the found issue
- right case and media info
https://www.dropbox.com/s/86wsmckoojmxpo...3.jpg?dl=0
- wrong case and media info
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tc54g713oxjj8l...5.jpg?dl=0

If you cound add the fix for this issue in the next release would be very appreciated
Thanks in advance,
C

Although MQ7 is one of the best skins, it's bug-infested. Since the first KodiFlix release of Latts I started to learn some .xml myself and to fix myself.
In the meantime, however, this has developed more towards playfulness.
I introduce you to a few mods, some of my ideas, maybe there is something for the next update.
Feedback and suggestions always appreciated, but if questions please use PM function.
To mention that everything is also a matter of taste

Everything is pure optional and can be set on/off with a button.

I already introduced to you the Academy Award Mod. This has now evolved into a General Award Mod. Early Alpha.
OMDB is not only supporting the Academy Awards in the Awards Tag (Oscar Wins or Nominations)
Very often GOLDEN GLOBES and BAFTA's (also Wins or Nominations) are mentioned.

equal if ACADEMY AWARD (OSCAR), BAFTA, GOLDEN GLOBE, on every count of Award/Nomination a addidional graphics is shown.
Won = full shown
Nominated = 50% Transparency

BAFTA Nominated:

GOLDEN GLOBE Nominated:

GOLDEN GLOBE Wins:

There are also Examples with more than 2 or 3 Nominations or Wins but I do not have more screenshots to hand.

Actually, I want this picture

instead of using this picture

But this is very dirty, I offer a € 10 dollar donation if a graphically skilled can make me the graphics clean. I'm inexperienced in .png editing unfortunately.

The Academy Awards (Oscars) have now been further developed.
For movies the "Academy Award for Best Picture" = best Oscar Movie of the year

now a separate graphic indicator is displayed:

@Jumpy73

I added code quite a while back to display the "4K Ultra HD" codec if the filename contained "uhd". So your 1080p Thor movie contains "uhd" in the filename?

Hi @chrissix

Great post thanks have the Oscars logo added to my own mod also. Noticed your oscar logos change instantly when moving to next movie, whereas mine there is a second or two delay. I guess it's prob the rpi3 isn't processing it quick enough.

What system are you running your Kodi on and are you using skin helper?

Thanks

I am sure of the basic function, there will be no differences with us. Most of the entries were probably already "gegached" in simplecache.db. I think that makes the biggest difference.

Small differences that could otherwise be:
I use my system on a gaming machine.
Fast internet.
Many other SkinHelper Internet real time scraper stuff disabled in my skin (e.g. the extended ratings come from a local source and not skinhelper on my side) and SkinHelper may have more resources to load award info faster.

UPDATE #60

I know it's been a couple of months since my last update, and since this newest update is full of additions and bug fixes I wanted to make a video to cover everything.

Disregard the last part of the video where I talk about an update to the Colored Mediaicons Addon. If you install v0.0.8.4 from the KODI Brasil Repo you will be good to go.

Additions

Per Dave.B's request, I added the record label to the back of the jewel box for Shelf3D music.
Per Dave.B's request, I adjusted the timing of the discart for Shelf3D music so that it rolls out of view when the jewel box rotates back to the front.
I added SkinHelper awards to the RightList view. Oscar images (15 maximum) will appear above the movie poster if the movie was nominated for or won an Oscar. The image will be slightly transparent if only nonimated. Thanks to chrissix for providing the code.
I added the original List 3D music view to the Top Menu music view list, so there are now two available to choose from...List 3D and List 3D v2. This required a new image to be added to Textures.xbt.
I added the duration info to the Wall 3D view.
Per jasn's request, I added the ability to enable/disable the furniture on all the music player styles by hitting the "Info" key on your keyboard (letter "I" by default). I also added the multi-logo code to style 5.
I added some code to display the currently selected watch flag for widgets. The original code only displayed the default watched flag regardless of which flag you chose. Thanks to Jumpy73 for requesting the addition.
Per OrbS82User's request, I centered the video widgets when the horizontal menu bar is enabled. Per Jumpy73's request, I made this change for the virtual menu in Skin Settings as well.
Per OrbS82User's request, I added the IMDb Top 250 logo and rating to the media flags.
I gave the Video Info page a facelift. I added Theatrical release info, added The Movie Database rating info, and changed how some of the other ratings are displayed. Thanks to chrissix for providing the code for these enhancements.

Bug fixes

The "CHANGELOG" label was removed in Krypton. You can include Addon changes in the addon.xml file of the Addon as "news" and it is displayed under "WHAT'S NEW" in the Addon Info window. This was changed in Krypton. I just noticed as I was posting this info that the Krypton addon.xml contains the same news as the Leia mod...some of that news you can disregard as it does not pertain to Krypton.
I fixed a few message IDs in the language file that were not displaying correctly.
I fixed a bug in the Right List view where the sets discart was not showing. I'll check the rest of the views to see if they all require an update.
I fixed a bug in the List 3D v2 music view where the track list and duration was showing with or without a thumbback image.
I fixed a bug in the top menu with List 3D, List 3D v2, Shelf 3D, Shelf 3D v2 and Wall 3D. When you activated these views, they would not automatically switch to the view.
I fixed a bug in the Middle List and Middle List 967 views where the watched flag was not showing the flag color.
After looking at the KodiFlix code I noticed that I was missing the ability to display the new flag and enable/disable the new and watched flag. That code is now added, and there is a new button on the Top Menu under "KODIFLIX OPTIONS/CHANGE VIEW" named "SHOW FLAGS". There are four options...show neither the watched flag nor the new flag, show only the watched flag, show only the new flag (last 9 movies/TV Shows/episodes added to your library), or show both flags. Thanks to Purge again for asking about the resume flag.
I fixed a bug in the media flags where the white audio flag was overlapping the flag to its left when you enabled "LOGO" as the "AUDIO AND SUBTITLE FLAG". Thanks to OrbS82User for reporting the bug.
I fixed a bug in the Movie Info screen where the language and subtitle text was not displaying. Thanks to OrbS82User for reporting the bug and Angelinas for providing the fix.
I fixed a bug in MyVideoNav.xml where the logo was not displaying on some views when "LOGO AS TITLE (ON TOP IF AVAILABLE)" was selected in the Top Menu. Thanks to MANswers for reporting the bug.
I fixed a bug where the Program Addons view was not displaying the summary and description of the addons. The Video Addons view was also not displaying the version and author. Thanks to MB1968 for the request.

Maintenance

There is a new arial.ttf font file in the fonts folder. This version of the font allows languages other than English to display correctly. Thanks to Wanilton for the suggestion.
I noticed some errors in the log file, so I did some house cleaning to some of the files to remedy the errors.
The list of views in the Music Top Menu is now in alphabetical order. The views for Movies, TV Shows and Music are now listed in alphabetical order as you scroll through the activated views as well. I've been intending to fix this for a while.

chrissix,

This also works with tvshows. It is very common to get golden globe returns for tvshows with skinhelper. With movies, I think I have 2 movies in my collection of 850 and no BAFTA's

Hi Latts,

Thanks so much for the latest update. I think I found a bug in the Video Info (see red circle in the picture below)

Thanks for the update. A real fat one Wink

I noticed a small bug in layout 5 for music OSD. It may concern some other layouts as well. In the lower right corner of the screen, the name of the album artist is being mixed up with the image of the next track to be played

This seems to happen when there is no logo available for the track artist.

Example:
Track Artist = Qattra
Album Artist = Paul van Dyk

You're welcome! I'll tweak the Critics Consensus width and include it in the next update.

Hey Lappts, i wanted to ask you for a long time why in the kodiflix view in arttype landscape mode the pictures are stretched and not in a native aspect ratio?
