IS this skin now dead for Version 19 (Matrix) of Kodi?
Hope not as I love the customization allowed using it.
Thank you,
Mark

I have AndroidTV / kodi 18.7 Leia and this great skin Xonflunece.
All works great only startup is annoying.
The reason is, each time when I start kodi , after 1st screen when shows KODI 18.7 , 2nd screen pops up - when some 'blue thunders are playing around' following with some sound which is so high that all in a house and in the neighborhood knows that Im on kodi?!@
Question is how (and where) to either reduce that sound on reasonable volume level or (even better) disable startup sound (blue thunders can stay & play

Regardless of the skin, this may be a core software related question. But maybe there's a theme setting that allows it to be done that I don't know about...
But on system boot with the number of menus I have set.
It defaults to music. Showing me the addon shortcuts below. But how can I get it to do that with TV shows?
Now if I add one more category / menu item. It defaults to TV. But I don't want to do that just to get at the land on TV shows, so does anybody know of a setting in the theme that will have it Land on TV shows on Startup regardless of the number of main menu items that I have.
And I don't mean open up the menu item itself. But just land on it showing me my addon shortcuts. But still if I want to, allowing me to scroll left or right to the other menu items.

I'm using xonfluence skin with Leia 18.8.
Is it possible to link the Main Home Menu Bar to certain addon sections?
For example: Link MOVIES on the Main Home Menu Bar, to the Movie section from an addon?
or:
Link TV SHOWS on the Main Home Menu Bar to the TV SHOWS section of an addon?
If so, where is the option to do so?
I looked in Skin Settings but but do not see the option.
**Note: When I click SYSTEM on the Main Home Menu Bar, it links to Xonfluence Change your Settings window.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

To re-enable Xonfluence you will need to locate the addon.xml and make sure the follow line specifies version="5.15.0" to work on v19.okay maybe clarify this for everybody?
xml:import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.15.0"/>
Note - that if you do this and Xonfluence does use Python 2 scripts then things may not work properly, however if you've already been using Xonfluence with recent builds of v19 then you should be ok.

If I understand what you want correctly you can do this by making it a "Favourite". You can then add it to your Main Menu via System, Skin Settings, Home Menu & select any 'vacant' Menu Item. In Select Menu Item scroll down to "Selected-Favourites" and select the favourite you want as a part of your Main Menu. You can also create your own 'sub menus" and finish off with your own background pics and sets of short cuts that you have created.
I hope this makes sense for you.

At least not untill somebody updates the skin to the latest Kodi Release. It doesnt really matter whether you update or do a fresh install. v19 onward will not support Python 2 and therefore render everything that is not compatible with python 3 as broken. I do know Xonfluence is heavy on the helper scripts side, it has quite a lot of them. However I have no idea which areas of the skin will actually be affected and therefore need updating. I sure hope somebody will start updating this skin as we all really appreciate its flexibility and layout.
Can I use Xonfluence when I update an existing install that is running 18.8 and Xonfluence?
Can I use Xonfluence on a fresh install?
And if so in both cases: do I need to do anything?

import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.15.0"
I tried to upgrade to nightly Matrix and xonfluence but some dependencies still seem to use python 2 which is deprecated in Matrix.
And is xonfluence development dead at the moment? If so, is there anyone hopefully willing/able to resurrect xonfluence on Matrix?

PS: the out of the box kodi skin is totally overloaded ... they know how to program a superb videoplayer but somehow they seem to have missed gui design classes
