First I want report a bug:
With horizontal homescreenlayout and unfocused widgets, the seperator „|“ between rating and year is missing for movies as well as for tvshows.

Second:
Does A:Z2 anything concerning playlist managing?
I have issues with Emby for Kodi when waking up from screensaver after longer inactivity.
Dev of Emby for Kodi analyzed that some is clearing the playlist and playback fails.

Any idea?

@jurialmunkey
You missed this?

No, just busy. I'll have a look at the separator later today - should be an easy fix.

Nope, I don't do anything regarding managing playlists.

Just installed the Netflix add-on and I'm trying to setup the views; how do I look up the "view id"?

EDIT:
I need the ID for the following views:

• TV Shows - Poster Wall
  • Seasons - Poster
    • Episodes - Media Info 2
      
• Movies - Media Info 2
  

 

@jurialmunkey Is it possible to look up the view IDs?

The view ids are in the include names of each view. You can see these in myvideonav.xml

In the Aura skin at the end of each row of widgets (to the right) there was a widget? That would take you directly to the section for each row of widget.

Hope that makes sense.

Wondering if the same will come to AZ2?

You're talking about the "See more..." item. It would be great to get that here!

Yes I believe that's what it's called, it was at the end of each widget to give quick access to that widget's section which I found very useful as I limited each row of widgets to only 10.

it was a great addition to Aura and I hope it finds its a way to AZ2!

Does this skin have "prefer fanart for landscape widgets" art somewhere?

Wow, @jurialmunkey . You have overdone yourself here by fixing one of the BIGGEST issues I had with your skins.

Clicking on "related" movies on the info pages now take us directly to the movie in our collection, INSTEAD of loading a searchpage from a 3rd party plugin.

Being able to disable "info-script" makes it better too! I can now browse my PKC library just like it works in a native Plex app. You also blew up the search landing page which was much needed.

I didn't even request this since I thought it would be ignored, but you've done it anyway! THANKS a lot mate

Can we PLEASE have an option to disable "Fanart backgrounds" for everything BUT info pages?

I hate how the skin looks with an ugly Fanart behind my widgets, BUT I love how it looks with a movie info page OPEN.

This looks ugly and pointless: https://i.imgur.com/74C7HR9.jpg

Have you tried the background blur option?  I think it looks awesome and better than standard fanart.

Yeah, it's nice, but also uses more resources and introduces menu lag on my shield. (I like a snappy menu for quick browsing)

I would prefer having the option of a solid image background but fanart in Info views.

Surprised to hear the Shield struggles to handle this. No menu lag introduced at all with my vero 4K or raspberry pi4. Maybe it’s an android issue? Either way, I really like using background blur, but was thinking the same thing the other day...it would be nice to have the option of seeing background fanart only on info screen.

I have a bit of a basic question which has probably been asked before somewhere. I am using your Arctic Zephyr 2 skin which I love but I am wanting to know if the skin updates to the latest version automatically or if we need to download the zip file and install the latest version each time there is a new release?

While the skin is in development, you will need to either download the newest version manually, or use the repository in the first post of this thread.

I imagine once A:Z2 reaches v.1.0, it will be available from the official Kodi repository so you will be able to automatically update the skin (and dependencies).
