Looking through my kodi error log, I can see this error for missing file : script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml

2020-11-12 16:16:36.558 T:1216     INFO <general>: Error loading include file C:\Users\Stuart\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\skin.amber\1080i\script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml: Failed to open file (row: 0, col: 0)

That file and this one seems to be missing from github download, unless they shouldn't be included of course : script-skinviewtypes-includes.xml

2020-11-12 16:16:36.558 T:1216     INFO <general>: Error loading include file C:\Users\Stuart\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\skin.amber\1080i\script-skinviewtypes-includes.xml: Failed to open file (row: 0, col: 0)

Copied these both over from Kodi 18 and Amber Leia folder and it now allows me to add videos and rotating extrafanart is working,

Getting errors no on main menu for Skinshortcuts with the following error in Kodi log

@zorg2000k , thanks for investigating further.  Those two include files should not be included in Git, since they are auto-generated.  The script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml is generated by script.skinshortcuts, which is needed by the skin in order to customize menus/submenus/widgets.  The script-skinviewtypes-includes.xml is generated by script.skinvariables, which is used by the skin for the new, graphical, view type selector.  My guess is that you did not have either of those addons installed when you did the clean install of Matrix Alpha 3.  Is that the case? Please confirm.  Thanks.

As for the other warnings in the log, they are OK, they just mean that you do not have any widgets configured.

Regards,

Bart

Thanks Bart,

Something now right with this clean build, I found a Matrix github for : script.skinvariables - installed fine

Struggling to find the Martix repo or github for script.skinshortcuts. Tried this one https://github.com/mikesilvo164/script.skinshortcuts

Installs but on main screen in Kodi I get skin shortcut errors.

@zorg2000k, the version of skinshortcuts in the Kodi Matrix repo should work; that's the one I am using in my portable Matrix install. You can go to Settings, Amber Settings, Manage Dependencies and install/update from there.

script.skinvariables can be found in Jurialmunkey's GitHub.

I have just uploaded version 3.4.0 for Matrix, to GitHub and the Amber repo for Matrix.  This is just for Matrix.

This version brings Amber up to date with the Matrix skinning changes, of which there have been a lot.

Chapter markers are showing!! My favorite update so far  

Thank you Bart.

Finally got it working, after installing everything and getting the same issue, I reinstalled Kodi Alpha 3 over my original installation, hey presto. Thing are now working. Many thanks for the quick turnaround in adding the rotating artwork across Movies, TV Shows and Music.

To me a wonderful addition

Hello!

I'm having an issue where I can't add media.

Fresh install of Alpha 3
Fresh install of Amber from the matrix.repo.zip
Nothing else modified or installed (I changed the colour of amber, that's it)

Immediately go to media -> videos and then nothing.  I get the amber background and nothing else. No controls.

Hope I did that right.

Same issues as I posted above. Reinstall Alpha 3 over the top of your current install with Amber installed, That worked for me

I've gone back to Leia Kodi version at the moment, as I'm getting Kodi crashing a lot at the moment. Lots of dump logs so will leave thing until RC gets released

@Litcube, thanks for the log. What is happening is that you are missing script.skinvariables. You can install it from the Kodi repo. Once you do, restart Kodi. That should solve the issue. I thank you and @zorg2000k for reporting this, I need to find a solution so that a new installation of the skin will work out of the box.

@Litcube, could you please try a newer version of script.skinvariables? You can get it from https://github.com/jurialmunkey/script.skinvariables. Please be sure to download from the Matrix branch, since you are running Kodi Matrix. Thanks. Please let me know how it goes.

Yup, that fixed it.  Sorry, when you said "you can install it from the kodi repo" I thought that meant through the in-kodi addon repo.  I'm still getting familiar with kodifu.

@Litcube, no need to apologize. I thought the version of the script in the Kodi repo was newer. I am glad you got it sorted.

How come there isn't any option to browse for subtitle on the OSD when playing a video?
I really, really want this. Love the skin otherwise, tried a whole bunch of others but always come back to Amber after a few minutes. Best skin ever!  So clean, easy to navigate and easy on system resources.
Especially love the snow during winter time

Is there some way to make it possible or code it in to the skin on my own?


Kodi v. 18.7 on Raspberry Pi 3b'

Thanks a lot for a great skin!

@Stocks, thanks for your kind words! In more recent versions of Amber (latest is 3.2.109) there is a skin setting that allows you to open the subtitle settings window when you click on the subtitles button on the video OSD. That window has the browse for subtitles option.

You can install the Amber repo for Leia, so that you can keep Amber up to date. You can find the repo here: https://github.com/bartolomesoriano/repo...-1.0.1.zip
