what is happening with the memory allocation and where does it "start" to max out?

Regular use, from what I've seen... playing movies, etc, it's at ~2.0 to 2.4 Gb.  Go into music and it drops to 1.4 and crashes or hangs.

can you take a look at smb://MACHINE01/E/#Artist Info/'Til Tuesday/fanart.jpg, what are the image properties

1920x1060, 286 kb.  Yes, other skins use it.

What happens if you delete every addon in your Kodi addons folder besides skin.aeon.nox.silvo

So, in the beginning, I had - on a clean formatted drive - customregis Windows app and AutoHotKey (reverted back to stock keyboard.xml but kept the GSB function), Kodi 18.1, Silvo repo and skin, rmector repo, Artwork Beef, Youtube, and Trakt.  The last few logs have been the same but no Artwork Beef.  It didn't make a difference so I put it back on.  Now I have the skins I've logged above and all their dependencies.

What would you like to see?  I'm thinking about putting Camtasia on or something (any suggestions?) to show you guys the actual behavior.  It doesn't act like a regular RAM failure: lagging, stuttering, bogging.  The other skins work as expected.  I haven't tweaked them a whole lot but they're showing all the art and playing what it should (I've been warming up to MQ).  FWIW, I use showcase (no infopanel) on music, although any other flow style crashes as well. I also use showcase with icons, infopanel, extended mediaflags, discs, and fanart for movies and have no problems, even while playing a movie in the back and scrolling through other menus.

That said, I do understand that "I don't know" is an answer.  If you want me to continue helping with this, I will, although you may have to wait for weekends for big operations as it gets used constantly throughout the week and I don't have a lot of time after work.  When I started this, I had the presumption that it would be an easy error to spot or simple fix.  I now see that my problem is unique.  I can totally accept an answer like "I have no idea, but I will keep this in mind and see if others come across this." or even "I can't spend 230 hours to satisfy one user."  I truly get it.

Thx for everyone's attention so far,

Can you check which skin add-ons you have installed, and install any missing ones especially in the "Required" section as shown in this image... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2812035

Hello,

it seems the rating icons for subtitles are missing (only rating = 0) is existing.
Would it be possible to add the missing rating stars icon ? (from 1 to 5)

Thank you

thanks for the hint but it did not help

[mikeSiLVO]

Not digging at you personally Mike or any one else, and really your thread is a silly place for me to make such a comment. It is just when I see row at a time queiries and know that is the slow way to get data. I glance at the log and think "what is it doing and why?". I also understand that people created some addons etc. because getting core changes was impossible. No blame anywhere, and it is not as if I'm short of work.

@DaveBlake Never thought that you were
I know full well how after reading what was written how someone else could interpret it to be very different then intended. I have fallen victim to that mentality myself. I am way more contemplative then I once was. Feel free to speak to me without any reservations as I find that to be the most direct and cathartic way to get to the nitty gritty of it all

I currently use Library Data Provider cause when it was introduced Kodi did not provide the $INFOlabels for the Home Screen items without it. Music and/or video items but the music database info has been greatly improved due to your amazing additions/improvements @DaveBlake and my preference would be to only use what Kodi core provides. ATM I am not 100% sure how to achieve that without losing any of the currently expected functionality...

If you have any suggestions or recommendations I will gladly follow any advice you may have to minimize my current reliance on any and all scripts/addons

My ultimate goal (time permitting OFC) is to have as close as I can to zero required addons just like Estuary

I don't really know how core could help in what areas, I don't even have time (or inclination I'll admit) to try different skins let alone dig into to find how they do what they do. But I'm an approachable guy

Knowing what there isn't an info label for under what situation would be a place to start, but bugs and new things take priority over polishing things that already deliver what you want. So just ignore the groaning data guy

But I wish you well with your ultimate goal, let me know if I can help with music data stuff.

I am ashamed to admit it but some of the above was just a smidgeon of pidgeon of B.S. I was tired and did not want to think about it in it's entirety...

Library Data Provider provides some more things that I do not know how to achieve in Kodi core...

Playlist statistics/fanart using:

Code:

plugin://service.library.data.provider?type=playliststats&id=$INFO[Container(9000).ListItem.Property(path)]

Which, in my testing, is currently very slow. I would welcome any new way to achieve the same result in Kodi

I do not think Kodi can currently provide that without some kind of plugin/Python add-on for separating content using playlists including fanart and library content totals by playlist...

Again sorry some of this might not make sense... I hope that it does

Is there a simple way to shorten the rotation time between fanart images (specifically in BigFan view, but others as well I suppose). The SiLVO Extras menu lets you set it down to 5 seconds, but I'd like the images to cycle faster (probably 2 seconds). I've poked around in the XMLs for an hour trying to figure out how to add more options to the Set Background Rotation Speed dropdown, or how to hard code the delay, but with my very limited understanding of skinning have come up empty. I thought I had it with the FanartTimePerimage setting but that seems to control the fanart on the home menu, not in the views.

Any help would be much appreciated.

AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\skin.aeon.nox.silvo\16x9\Includes_Backgrounds.xml

Edit line 727 FanartTimePerImage5 and line 761 FadelabelPauseAtEnd5

Set the skin settings to use the 5 second choice and it will actually rotate the fanart at whatever time your edited those two lines. I set to 2000 ms because I prefer it to rotate faster also. Remember to edit after a skin upgrade.

I can just add this option if you guys want it

I will try to remember to add it.
Please remind if I forget!

Can you add please roboto font in future update?
Thanks

The skin uses Roboto Condensed by default except for the Main Menu so can you please be more specific what and where you want Roboto...

Is it possible to remove the second transparent black bar at the top on the homescreen? I just want to have the first bar at the top with temperatur, date and time.
See this screenshot:

Hi mikeSiLVO.

Using the MyFlix view, the focused title is all the way to the left. Can we have an option to focus the centered title or do you know of an edit to accomplish this? Thanks for your consideration.

I do not see the appeal to add this cause the info is left aligned but IIRC the way to achieve this is to add focusposition 3...

"I don't know" however I want to fix it if I can. Does it only happen with ShowCase view? If so then that is the answer. ShowCase view is a complicated view and does require significantly more resources than other views... Do the other skins use such a view and will it crash when using it?

I do have some PM's and while I currently do not have the time to properly respond to them all... @Karellen all looks good except the screenshots My apologies for a lack of a proper response. I will have more time after the end of April

Hi,
Sorry my mistake I want Roboto-thin font in main menu on main screen.
I´ve found tutorial to change it in in addons/skin.aeon.nox.silvo/16x9/font.xml and add font.ttf to folder fonts but after update skin it is changed.
In skin settings is possibility to change font and there I want to add Roboto-thin.
But I still change it in font.xml after update if it is to much work for you.
Thanks for your great skin.

Hi, here is a screenshot attached: https://imgur.com/ljzlE46
all subtitles ratings are equal to zero, so the stars are in grey. But when a rating is 5 stars, there is simply no stars at all. I thing because the icons for ratings are all missing except for the zero rating.

With other skins, I can see the different start ratings (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 stars), with Aeon SiLVO, only zero stars

Thank you

The kodi.log has no errors concerning your skin. Here are the two files:

One further thing:
It would be nice to have the option to hide the video osd or the progress var when jumping forward/backward and play/pause. When I watch NBA and NHL playoffs relive and that is often the only way here in Europe, I don't want to see the progress bar because there could be extra time and that would be a spoiler. It ist often necessary to jump forward a few seconds or minutes because of timeouts or boring free throws.

[Wombat18]

Sorry for the third post in a row, but I cannot edit my posts:
To clearify my second post: Ideally there would be the option to show only the file name, the current time in the middle and the seconds/minutes you jump forward/backward. The colored progress in the bar, the end time in the middle and the both times in the right corner should be not visible.

Which file can I edit to <focusposition> 3?

Still cannot replicate this. I tested with a portable install using your settings.xml file so I suggest you completely delete the skin and reinstall.

Sorry this is way to specific of a need so it is better suited to a personal mod than added to the skin.

Which file can I edit to <focusposition> 3?

Add <focusposition>3</focusposition>
after

Code:

<control type="fixedlist" id="509">

but before

Code:

<itemlayout height="525" width="271" condition="[Container.Content(movies) + !Skin.HasSetting(Enable.MyFlix.MovieLandscape)] | Container.Content(sets) | [Container.Content(tvshows) + !Skin.HasSetting(Enable.MyFlix.TVLandscape)]">

In View_509_MyFlix.xml ~line 260

Also I have added 2, 3, and 4 seconds to the fanart select time and it will be available in the next skin update.

[Karellen]

Thanks @mikeSiLVO. I'll fix that page soon.
