Love this skin but my movies or TV does not show up on my home screen even though enabled in home screen settings. Its like that when on a fresh install of Kodi and the skin am I missing something?

Do you have movies/tvshows scanned to your library? Skinshortcuts will hide the movies and tvshows shortcuts if your library db is empty.

If you aren't using the movies or tvshows shortcuts for library content, then you will need to change their actions so that they don't point at the library.

I literally just said no. Stop asking.

After changing my homescreen widgets I am a bit confused.
For TVshows I use a landscape widget for "In-progress TV shows", but its the same in other widgets.
 

1. As to see in my screenshot in landscape widgets A:Z2 uses fanart with clearlogo in bottom right corner.
   Fanarts are in the backgound as well, so it's used twice. Shouldn't this be thumbs instead of fanarts?
   This is the same in any library view with landscape pictures.
   
   
2. In selected mode (see screenshot) there is the rating, a date (of the first episode) and (what should be where the red box is?).
   I would expect rating, year (not date), watched episodes and maybe status like in other views.
   Same label is used in the tri-panel view in TV show library.
   
   
   
   
3. In any other view (with info text) the info line shows also the date of the first episode when selecting a whole season.
   As mentioned above I would expect rating, year (not date), watched episodes and maybe status.
   
   
   
   
4. In my movie widget (unwatched movies) the ratings are missing.
   TVDB and IMDB are selected in options. Don't know if this is an issue in other widget types.
   
   
   

 

1. You need to enable landscape art specifically now. It's optional because many users blur the background (or just prefer fanart).
Skin Settings > Library > Landscape Art

2. Yeah it is supposed to be the same - it should show number of watched episodes
(though I don't think next aired date works on home screen currently).
Can you test v0.9.32-a2 - should be fixed
(also, FYI, still working on getting full info to show when widget is not focused).
https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arc...alpha2.zip

3. Should also be fixed as of v0.9.32-a2 - Can you confirm?

4. Do you have skinhelper beta setup as per the first post? 

1. Thanks. I missed that option.

2. and 3. are solved for me. But as far as I see labels in Lovefilm and Tri-Panel are still broken (watched state or something is blank with just separators).

4. I have marcelveldt‘s repo installed and use lasted skin helper addons from there. 

@jurialmunkey Did you miss my answer?

Please mind the broken labels.
And what is about 4. (missing tvdb/imdb ratings in movie widgets)?

For the time being, I've adapted the icons I used in Aura and converted them to monochrome.
What do you think? You can test on latest release

Yes! Those look great! I'll test when I get home from work. Thanks!

That makes sense, thanks for the quick reply.

[NinjaMonkeyUK]

Love these. Good choice!

Can these be colored? 

No. They need to be monochrome to facilitate the colordiffuse palette swap. 

I wouldn't want them coloured; they look great as they are now as they don't detract from the content on the rest of the page.

Just a little suggestion: I think it would be more consistent to display Home menu subitems on 'ok' long press, instead of reverse side direction button.
A lot of cheap android box use remote with very few buttons, and 'ok' long press is used as a contextual/action menu.
I like this behavior, even with my full buttons harmony remote.
For my point of view, subitems are good candidates: short press to default action, long press to more advanced submenus.
What do you think ?

Hi,
Is it possible to choose between widgets and submenu view for Home Menu items ?
I have a custom 'other videos' home item, with a few sub-items (kids, familly, sport, documentaries...)
I think it would be more elegant (for both looking and navigation) to display the submenu view directly on the home page, rather than having to press the "ohter videos' item to display the submenu.
 

This is an interesting idea. I'll have to try some things and see how feasible it is. 

Any news? ^^
Thanks

I'm pretty sure you could do this (at least part of it) with a custom keyboard.xml file.

However, the menus are perfect as they are now. Home screen... Press up to see info on the spotlight, or press down for the sub-menu.  Nothing could be simpler and it is quicker than holding a key / button to invoke a long press command.

Skins have no control over what your remote does. The only actions a skin can define for on-screen elements is onclick, oninfo, onback, and directions - and in many cases kodi will even override these definitions.

Even if it were possible, I think it's a bad idea to hijack the context button into doing something else - the expectation is that it opens a popup context menu, not an entirely different window.

Haven't had a chance to look at it properly but definitely still on the cards

The seekbar/player is unresponsive when skipping around with mouse clicks in comparison to the default skin and other kodi skins.

Is it possible to add information for each menu setting? Now it only displays info for library, miscellaneous, furniture, etc, instead of for each option. A lot of options are of course obvious in what they do, but some are a bit unclear (like i.e. furniture - section name; or furniture - clear logo). I have no idea where to look or what has been changed when I (un)tick these boxes.

This is planned. There's just no point implementing it whilst skin settings are moving around and changing.
