1. thanks, I will try, playing from home screen, and I'll give you notice!
2. sure!     let's say we don't have any other shortcuts with "Movies" name (we erased the default one)
                now, skin settings -> Home -> Customise Home Screen -> New Shortcut -> Action -> Common -> Showcase Hub -> Label -> Movies -> Hub Widget -> pointing to video add-on tmdh and movies, trending today -> close and the back to home screen...now, for me, this shorcut doesn't show anything, on the home page...
If we go back to settings again, and change the name of the label from "Movies" to "Movie", just sayn'..., and then back to home, the showcase hub is perfect

Hope  you could replicate the bug, but it's not a big deal, really!
thanks! 

Ah okay - I think I know what is happening with the showcase issue. When you set the name "Movies" then skinshortcuts builds the default widget setup for the Movies widget group. However, due to some skinshortcuts bug, the widgets don't actually show in the widget section.

To fix it, basically you need to add a standard widget, build the menu, and then delete the widget:
1. In Home Customisation, go into the "Widgets" section of the "Movies" shortcut.
2. Add any widget (in the main widget section, not the hub widgets).
3. Go to the home screen to allow menu to build.
4. Go back to the customisation dialog and delete all the widgets in the widgets section.
5. Go back to home and allow the menu to rebuild.
6. Showcase hub should now show.

Basically the above forces the default widget group to be cleared so that the showcase hub can show up.

Still haven't had much luck replicating the Trakt issue - seems to be working fine for me. I don't normally use that feature though -- so I might try leaving it on and see if I can recreate the issue you're experiencing.   

Hi Jurialmunkey
i tried just and it worked! thanks!
...i saw the new arrangements inside home menu customization...no double folder, maybe it's better!
hope you will succeed with the trakt rating issue, but thanks anyway!  

Hi Jurialmunkey
about the trakt rating issue, i've found out that it's working for movies (i mean, it comes out and i can rate) but not for tv shows (sometimes it comes out, but it's stucked, i can't move between rates, just press back to exit).
that's all, just to let you know
thanks again

update: just seen two episode, starting from the library folder, i guess, and everything was ok! ...don't know what to think...by the way, devs is really great!

@myghalloween - Yes, that is very helpful! However, it confirms what I said early about it being an addon issue.

PKC is setting the incorrect content type. As you can see in the top right of screen, it is setting content to "Photos" -- which is NOT a valid content type. Valid content types are: files, songs, artists, albums, movies, tvshows, seasons, episodes, musicvideos, genres, years, actors, playlists, plugins, studios, directors, sets, tags, countries, roles, images
https://kodi.wiki/view/Skinning_Manual#Container
https://codedocs.xyz/AlwinEsch/kodi/grou...fc1e2318d6

The reason it still works in skins like Estuary and AZ2 is because those skins are more forgiving to addons that set invalid content types. With Arctic Horizon however, the skin is reliant on content type being valid to set the correct viewtype.

You will need to speak to the author of PKC and request that they set the correct content type of "images".
EDIT: I've reported the issue to the PKC author: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2945791

nice ! Thx
I hope it will be as reactive as you

edit : That's probably the same reason that actors' thumbnail often not display correctly

Is it somehow possible to create an menu entry to update installed kodi addons or to get an update button in the addon manager screen? Cause enabled auto updates does freeze kodi ui after boot a lot if there are updates found. And manually uddating needs a lot of clicks to get there. 🤔

Creating a shortcut to XBMC.UpdateAddonRepos() should do it. If not try using xbmc.executebuiltin("XBMC.UpdateAddonRepos()").

Thx, have to try and see if it works when there are new updates available. Is it possible to also get an progress bar in the busy dialogue?

Having an issue with music albums when access through favourites. for some reason its identifying them as video

Favourites in a music sub menu



But when I go into an album its seeing it as a video (which effects all the context items like scan library, sorting etc)





I did think initially it was a kodi issue but I have tested in both estuary and az2 and both recognise the album properly as music when navigating to it via favourites.

(Its fine on all other sub menu hub thing menus. its only on favourites weirdly)

You won't get a progress bar for it, unfortunately.

Also, the command is UpdateLocalAddons(). UpdateAddonRepos() only checks for updates.

It's because a widget has to have a specified content target - in this case the content target is videos because that's what skinshortcuts thinks it is.

In the actual favourites dialog, the favourite calls the appropriate content target (videos / music / images / programs).

If you set favourites as a widget in AZ2 it would do the same thing. Just as if you call this from the actual favourites dialog in Arctic Horizon it will work correctly.

Could we have options to choose which library/watched indicator to show; I really want to hide the blue star (new)

Hi! Thanks for an awsome skin!

I'm sorry if this has been asked earlier. I read trough the last 30 pages without finding anything..
Is there a way to get the Info wall to get stick around even after adding several widgets?
Or is there any other way to always show the movie info?

[edd--]

Oh my god, just discovered this skin and I'm absolutely in love with it ! Thank you so much !!

1 quick question / request (otherwise it fits my needs perfectly !):

When Being in the full screen matrix / gallery, when scrolling down you see the letter of the alfabet of the titles. When I change the sort order to year or date added, and then scroll down, it shows the number "2" anywhere in the screen. Can that be disabled ?

Thanks !

I'm pretty sure you can't do this currently, but I like the idea. Perhaps we could have an option similar to the one in the PVR 'Allow descriptions'

Added in latest. See options under Skin Settings > Miscellaneous

Not possible with the way the widgets work. The only option is to create a separate main menu item for each single widget that you would want to show - you can create up to 50 main menu items.

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Option already exists to disable the sort letter:
Skin Settings > Library > Show sort letter when scroll wall (disable)
