When I try to install the latest version I get "xbmc.gui 5.15 error" Is that because I am still on Leia? Do I need Matrix for the latest version of this Skin? I'm using an OSMC Vero 4k+ device. Matrix is not available yet. Also, what is the difference between Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded and Leia Mod? Thanks.

When I pause during playback I see poster and media info with osd. When I press enter to bring up the osd it's just the osd and no poster/media info, am I missing a setting to make the osd look like the one with info?

Pressing I(info) with OSD


Pressing enter(osd menu) no info/poster

I first have to think about how to solve this most elegantly. If you have a GitHub account, you could open an issue so that nothing gets forgotten. That would help, because I am busy with other things right now

Sure I can do that

If it would ever become a matter of simply recreating the right image file let me know because I might be able to help

The image file "common\bg.jpg" is located in "skin.arctic.zephyr.mod\media\textures.xbt". You have to use a Texture Tool to unzip the textures.xbt file. In skin-code its located here: Includes.xml#L604
Thx

No problem, I will have a look at it later this week! 😁

Though at first glance (without even unpacking the file) I'm already a bit mystified by the fact that use of a .jpg image file somehow results in a transparent overlay being shown in the skin, as it's not possible to create transparent .jpgs. Regardless, I will have a look at the files and report back through github.

Oh damn, sorry that i missed it and thanks for pointing it out.

I have now changed this also for the leia version. Thanks for pointing this out.

Thank you so much! Great skin.

Can I confirm the version of the corrected Leia version? Because the one I downloaded still gives me that random start when I stop a movie. The matrix one is fixed. Thank you!

petty request
Is there a way to make the watch status of an item percentage and not "half circle"?
so if I watched 70% of an episode I will see that number in the library item.

I do not think that this is possible, because that would be too many changes due to the fact, that the indicators use symbols from a symbol font.

But does it have to be symbols? cant it be numeric?
(I used to have it in "Bingie" skin)

Also, I noticed that on items in favorites that are not in library (like Amazon addon tv shows) there is no indicator if the item is watched or not. In other skins there is.

Thanks again for an excellent skin!

The problem is that the code would not be technically so easy to implement without having to use duplicate code.

And the most important thing: AZ Reloaded should be clean, minimalistic and modern. Now when I see the values in percentages on the posters or in lists, it's no longer that. AZ Reloaded has more than enough options now and I don't want the skin to look cluttered like other skins.

I'll take a closer look at the thing with the indicators in the favorites.

Are you using the latest version from GitHub?

I noticed BeastmasterRS that using classic view widgets don't have watched indicators on them but all other views do is that intended?

[hydog]

Love the skin -- just curious -- as I use rotating wallpaper for my background on the Home Screen/etc...Is there a way to slow the rotation of the images?

You can install the latest version from github. After that, please open Defaults.xml in the skin folder, search for

xml:
<constant name="HomeTimePerImage">12000</constant>

and edit the value to your needs, save the file and restart kodi oder reload the skin for changes to take effect.

Any chance to add this to the GUI as an option? Whenever you update the skin, it wipes out the defaults.xml page and I have to re-adjust... Maybe a couple of options (30 seconds, 60, 5 minutes, etc..)?
Thanks!

No should be fixed

[PSTrophy]

Sweetness. Just thought it was a bit odd. Thanks kind sir I only use classic view so I can see background images without them being darkened in the other views.

[PSTrophy]

Just noticed modern view doesn't have indicators either..... Also is there any way to backgrounds not be darkened in the 4 widget views.
