Every time I try to update, I get a message that a dependency on python version 2.26 cannot be met. With addons, I get around that by changing the addon.xml to version 3.0.0. If there is a better way to accomplish a "transitional" update (python versions), I'm all ears. It won't be the first time I've misinterpreted something

Great work JM. Really love the simplicity of this.

One small grievance (or maybe im missing a setting somewhere)

Submenu widgets are split over two lines even when only 5 items on the submenu. when it would all fit quite nicely on one line.

one other tiny tiny thing. With music widgets the album title is already under the album thumbnail, so maybe in the title above artist would be beneficial

He's explained further back in the thread that this is due to the way items are laid out by Kodi, and that it likely won't change.

I'm working on an add-on that should appease all the submenu widget people (myself included), hopefully Think of something like Super Favorites, but more streamlined, and specifically built around using them for widgets.

Yeh, I abandoned SF a long time ago for being to clunky. Streamlined is good.

Aside from it not really working right in Leia, I think this was most people's complaint, if they had one.

I've focused a bit more on the widget-related stuff, which is working pretty well now, but I haven't put as much love into shortcuts as it needs, so I really want to get that nailed down before I start touting it as a replacement

Hi  jurialmunkey,

Just a quick note of thanks for the PVR enhancements. I just noticed a reference to them last night (in your latest update), so I immediately downloaded and installed the current version manually (I'm running Matrix so I don't get auto updates from your repository).

I only had a little time to play with it, but it looked fantastic. I like the "S1E1" format you use; its a change of pace from the typical "S01E01". The channel and guide views displayed all relevant info (season, episode and episode title). The timer and timer rules sections look dramatically different from other skins I've tried, but the info is all there, so great job.

Again, I just wanted to thank you for this functionality. Its the one thing that kept me from using your skins, beautiful as they are  .  I can't wait to dive in a little further tonight. 

Take care and stay safe.

Thanks. Please let me know if you see areas in PVR that are missing. The PVR I use is fairly simple and doesn't have a lot of the features that other PVR users use, so I rely on testers for a lot of features.

Hi Jurialmunkey,

Couple of considerations from my side for the skin..

1. Light theme in the future?

2. On widgets, I see the title of movies/series in the 'title' of the widget.. possible to have also the release year of a movie (i.e. latest added movies | Frozen | 2019)?

3. In widget of moviedb helper.. possible to add a 'note' on poster when available in local library? Now we can see only the watched status.. Embuary skin is habing this for your reference

4. Fanart for next episodes rather than clip art.. spoiler alert

5. Movie title and year under poster view in widgets, similair to next up episodes view

Thanks for the great skin!!

1. Already on my todo list
https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arc...n/issues/6

2. I can't add too many different things to the widget label as it has to be adaptable to a large number of situations. Because Kodi doesn't allow passing params to variables, it means that I need a separate label control for every permutation (then each control is hidden in the background). The more controls, the more complexity, and thus the greater difficulty to maintain and higher chance of introducing bugs.

3. It's possible (and it's already built into the skin - you can see it on items inside the video info dialog) - I just generally avoid for widgets because it would mean that widgets based on library items would have a mark for every single item.

4. Already on my todo list
https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arc.../issues/13

5 I'm not quite sure what you mean by next up episodes view. Anyway, text under posters would make it a different size to the other widgets which I'm specifically avoiding.

@jurialmunkey any plans for an icon only view in TV guide? Basically just the channel icon without the channel name. You have it in AZ2 and it looks pretty slick. No worries if not. Loving this skin BTW 👍. Thanks.

@jurialmunkey 

Just want to say thanks for the amazing skin. Very first time that my kids find it easy to navigate through kodi without my help.

During these days, it’s a Huge gift you made for my family...

Many thanks xx

how does the backup/restore function work? I copied the settings.xml from device 1 and copied to device 2 and restored the settings.xml but no go.

I found this solution if anyone else need to backup their stuff in artic zephyr 2: 
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2923615

Kodi>userdata>addon_data>skin.arctic.zephyr.2

Kodi>userdata>addon_data>script.skinshortcuts

I would also backup the hole kodi folder just in case.

Hi guys,

How is everyone navigating their library? I'm finding it hard navigating my movies linearly (a whole lot) without a posters view.

What do you mean. The main library view is a poster view...

Oops meant viewtype. In the default viewtype, you can only scroll through the library sideways; how are people getting around a huge library?

Pressing Down should give you a scrollbar, at least it does in Composite Plex addon. From here it scrolls quite quickly, the only real difference from a list view is you're going horizontally rather than vertically.
