I‘m playing around with OSD and Info and disabled plot/poster in the settings.

I prefer to use OSD or Info to check episodes name and when it is ending.

In the pause screen the title is bottom middle. But no time/endtime.
In the info screen the time/endtime is bottom middle. But no title.
In the OSD neither title nor time/endtime is displayed.

But could you modify this to display both?
Maybe you need to remove „Now playing“. It’s useless anyway.

It makes no sense to show endtime when the movie is paused, because the endtime will change. Pressing pause is not a good way to check info about the movie - that's what the "info" button is for.

The "Now playing" text is not useless - it shows whether the video is playing, paused, rewinding, fastforwarding, seeking.
Swapping it's position with the title will not work because then there is no indication of player status when OSD is visible.

If you want more info when pressing info, then don't disable poster/plot.

There are already too many options for osd as it is. I'm not interested in making multiple bespoke configurations.

Small Request:
When pressing "Enter" when playing video, it brings up Player controls (OSD): it just states "now playing", can we get it to scroll or simply show the episode numbers/title information of the item like when paused?

Anyone else seen this behaviour? I also have a bit of an issue with episode details not showing in the video info screen when selected from a submen widget. I need to try and see if i can find a common situation. Some shows eps have the season/episode numberi some dont. will get screenshots when i can.

Press up from osd controls will show info 

Got it, ta.

Also i checked. There's definitely no episode number details in video info screen when selecting an episode from next episode widget from TV submenu. Is this deliberate? If you go into the tv shows season and go into an episode there is episode number info present there.

What do you mean by "next episode widget"? Which widget specifically? How did you set it?

I use only skin helper widgets for In progress tv shows and unwatched movies and I notice a delay of about 10 seconds while loading the widgets and also while loading e. g. „Similar movies“ in extended info dialog.

Same issue?

No.

But why are you using skin helper for those widgets at all? The library path for inprogress will be much quicker. There are also a number of smart playlists included in default widgets section that will be much faster. Or alternatively, just make your own smart playlist and use that - way faster than using a plugin like skinhelper.

Thanks.
I will try smart playlist.

When uninstalling skin helper widgets, I am prompted to install it when open video info dialog.
And as i said there are loading delays also. Which function needs skin helper widgets? And do you have any idea to the delays?

The "Similar" list in videoinfo uses skinhelper widgets. Disable it at:
Skin Settings > Miscellaneous > Choose info-dialog lists > Similar

I might need to change the way the info lists are included though, as it sounds like it might trigger an install prompt even if the list is disabled and not visible.

@jurialmunkey just installed and tried alpha version : beta is *NOT* far 😊👍🏻
(Édit : automatic correction prefers « bit » to « not » 😝)

Do you need french translation ? Please tell me.

I'm waiting until the skin is in Beta before getting people to translate, because the strings might still change between now and then. I don't want people to have to double up on the translation work. Plus, strings might be missed from being re-translated.

Once the skin is in beta, translations will be greatly appreciated!

Wow man amazing skin Can you tell me how can I change the main menu custom-made icon size? (I want them to show the same size as in submenu)

Not possible currently, but might be an interesting option to have. I'll look into it.

Hey Jurial - viewtype request.

Any way you could add back the older version of the Lovefilm view that only had the clearlogo in the bottom right corner without the video title and info? Maybe as a separate view so people who like the info can keep it...I just like the focus on the fanart in that view for my tv shows. Thanks!

Some optional variations on Lovefilm will be coming. Basically a toggle between: clearlogo only; title and info; title, info and plot.

I have a question about the logos in you skin.
Just activated them and noticed they are at the top of each library view and on the upper right corner of background widget on homescreen in basic layout.
Are logos somewhere else in the skin?

I noticed once a clearlogo on the episode preview in mediainfo view.

For enhancement:
Maybe you should limit the width and not only the height of logos, because some logos with wide aspects are maybe a „bit“ too large!

That's a non-standard clearlogo size. Clearlogos should be 800x310px
I will add a width limit to the image though.

Should extrafanart rotate in the background or is it only visible at the bottom of the info screen?

[jurialmunkey]

Don‘t know if thats a skin issue - but I never had that before switching to A:Z2.
My Kodi on RPi2 doesn’t un-dim the screensaver sometimes (mostly after long sleep time).

Some other thread are pointing on the used skin.
Anyone else with this issue?

Can you point me to the thread where this is being discussed?
I've experienced this issue too.

You need to enable it from the top menu in the library.

Good job on the new skin, @jurialmunkey

1. I've mapped C:\Dropbox\Favorites\ as a picture source and added it as a submenu widget.
Is there a way to hide the file extension in said widget (I've disabled "Show file extensions" in Media Settings > General)?

2. I like the star and IMDB rating in the movie information screen.
However, when viewing the information screen for a TV show, the IMDB rating behind the star rating is missing. Is this a bug?

I'll have a look at 1. Are you using the basic home screen? Any reason why you are adding as a widget rather than a background?

For (2) - What scraper are you using? On a fresh install of Leia, I found I had to change the default scraper settings for tvshows to get ratings for all shows scraped to the library. I use TVDB scraper with ratings set to scrape from imdb.

Yes i know, that's why i'm asking.

The option is for rotating artwork in the background - the artwork gallery at the bottom of info shows regardless of how that option is set.

Do you have Artwork Helper and Artwork Beef installed? Background extrafanart should work with just skinhelper, but I find Artwork Helper with AB to be more reliable. It depends on how your extrafanart is setup though.

Pressing pause is not a good way to check info about the movie - that's what the "info" button is for.

Unfortunately, not every remote has a dedicated "info" button.
