Is this a bug?@shedrock , thanks for the video. I have never used that feature you mention. Do you have the animated lyrics (video lyrics) turned on? Maybe it doesn't work with animated lyrics. Also, if you switch to another skin, does it work then? If so, please let me know which one, so I can see what is different in Amber. Thanks.

I just need to figure out the placement for the OSD buttons if this option is active. Give me probably until next week, since this week I will not be having a lot of time for skinning, and I need to finish coding the option for having the widgets (shelves) in a "high" position.(2021-01-22, 23:29)bsoriano Wrote: @snarfo , if you are willing to test from GitHub, I added an option for "Ken Burns" effect-like animation on backgrounds. It is a global option, so it applies to backgrounds pretty much everywhere. You can find the new setting here:
Please let me know if this is what you were looking for. Thanks.

That's exactly what I meant by the Ken Burns effect--- the animated wallpaper on all views looks great!
The music UI is where we probably spend most of our time so here's a super crappy mockup of my vague idea. I like having a list of the 'up next' tracks in the queue. Space could be further optimized by shrinking the scrubber/progress bar to the width of the Artist/Track/Album section (thus allowing for a longer queue list) but in my quick and dirty job getting rid of the media flags (mp3/flac, bitrate, etc.) and adding the following 6 tracks in the queue is still pretty good imho. I like the layout and usefulness of everything else, though.

I do not see anything in your log that points to a skin issue. Perhaps this is an issue with the Matrix version of CoreELEC that you are using? I apologize for not being of more help.
very often after reboot, skin fails to load any shelves. if this happens, also many other settings (e.g. shutdown, corelec settings, etc.) are not able to be opened from gui. actually it is vissible also in the log.
if i switch to other skin, it also can't load the widgets until i reboot, it starts to work afterwards. I can than change back to amber and it will work as well until next reboot. If reboot again to test if amber survives w/o problem, the problemm will be back, e.g. 7 out of 10 reboots.
any idea what might be the problem?

There is no need to apologize of course.
And yes, this is what I was looking for.
So again a big thank you.
(2021-01-25, 21:53)nrpetonr Wrote: @bsoriano thanks anyway. consulted the log with corelec admins, they claim the skin. interesting that no problem on other skins, but i love yours :-)@nrpetonr , the error I see with pvr at first glance does not seem to be skin related. The only thing that comes to mind is that when an item is playing and you are in the home screen, Amber tries to show fanart related to that item, including extra fanart. If there is no multiple fanart for the item loaded in the db, Amber tries to find it in an /extrafanart/ folder. This seems to be giving an error with the PVR client that you are using.
i tried to remove some other addons and ended up reducing the log to minimum errors, but still same behaviour. hereinafter log with reduced errors, still nothing suspicious from your point of view?

From what I've noticed, this only happens in Panel view.
I do not remeber if I made any fixes which might not be in the Amber repo yet which might account for the issue. If that is the case, please wait a few days, I will upload a new version to the Amber repo. I just need to have some more comprehensive tesing first. Thanks.

This happens especially when the text is too long and it scrolls upwards.
(2021-01-26, 07:00)crazyhands911 Wrote: @bsoriano@crazyhands911 , in order for the "mouse/touch-friendly" alphabet strip to show up, you need to set "Enable Use of Embuary Helper" to Yes in the skin settings, as Amber relies on that addon for that functionality. Please ensure that you have your settings like so (just look at the alphabet strip related ones and the embuary helper one):
It has been a long time since I've been on here or posted anything, but everything was running pretty smoothly for me and just waiting for Matrix recommended builds to drop.
But, the last week or two, the alphabet strip no longer pops up for me. I'm running 18.9 and 3.2.125. The option is still there, but regardless of whether I have it Yes or No and close and reopen Kodi, there is no change. I'm guessing something with your last repo update to 3.2.125 broke something there. I've lost that functionality on all 3 of my builds and I just went pulled the file manually from GitHub and reinstalled it to see if something didn't come over on the auto-update, but no luck. Can you take and look and see if anybody else is having the issue or if I'm missing some other add-on that is now required for that functionality? That is one of my most used features since my collections are pretty extensive and being able to jump head to the end of the alphabet, etc is huge for me. Thanks.
