Yes - the Netflix addon seems to be problematic. Problem is that I can't test it without a Netflix account. If another skilled skinner can propose a fix I'll be happy to include it in the official release.

I.e. for instance, in the Movies window, rather than have the background be the highlighted movie fan art I would like to just keep the home window slide show in the background.Or maybe better yet, when there is no fan art available to default to the home window slide show rather than black, such as when looking at all video add-ons or when the parent directory is highlighted in the Movies window.

Sorry - I don't think i'll be putting that in the official version i'm afraid - I simply don't have the time these days :-(If you want a copy I modified the skin so that the Nav screens all default to background images if no fan art is found.

With that i was able to find out that the addon is.. kinda of a mess actually, heres some pages vs. the "Netflix Contents" from the debugger:

Sorry - view types are fixed in Pellucid. It works best with local library-based content.
For some addons, the view will change automatically depending on the content (e.g. Movies will always take the poster style). However, for many addons / streaming sources, this won't work. I'm not going to fix this - it is the responsibility of the addon creator to code their work correctly. For obvious reasons I have absolutely no interest in supporting illegitimate addons, 'builds' or similar nonsense.
In terms of the background images, this could be done but would involve quite a bit of work. Sorry - I don't think i'll be putting that in the official version i'm afraid - I simply don't have the time these days :-(

fihc: Sorry, no. You are free to explore and modify my work, but I cannot teach you how. Certainly I can warn you that messing with the way Pellucid handles views is liable to cause you a lot of headaches.
Quote:xbmcplugin.setContent(int(sys.argv[1]), 'files')for movies
Quote:xbmcplugin.setContent(int(sys.argv[1]), 'movies')for tvshow
Quote:xbmcplugin.setContent(int(sys.argv[1]), 'tvshow')but i dont see diference for tvshow and movies, also do you plan to update for v19, tv catchup isnt working there with that skin, you can add nextup only with one xml without using other services its clean and simple

The conditional expressions that trigger the view are in the file 1080i/includes.xml. To display in the poster view (the only alternative to a list), the addon must be structured such that it triggers the expression 'isAddonMovieOrTVshow'. Note that the expressions system cascade - the boolean structure is very fickle - so tweaking one will almost certainly mess up something else. It's a really fine balance that i've achieved through a lot trial and error (hence I have very little motivation to f%^k with it).
I will update for V19 in time. However, I will only do this work when Matrix reaches beta and is being rolled out on the Libreelec platform - I don't see this happening for quite some time yet. I simply don't have the time to keep playing catchup as the system chops and changes during particularly active periods of development.
WRT to addons like nextup: I have a strong aversion to adding external dependencies that I don't control. Sorry about that. As you say it's easy enough to add yourself.
