Hey @beatmasterrs 
Is it possible to change view from this:  https://imgur.com/MWi7WQp to this: https://imgur.com/mr5Kjgh permanently for all categories?

Maybe if is this, what you want: in "skin settings -> extras" please enable "Enable forced views". With hat you can set a view to specific content. In a view, call up the view options and lock the view for moviews/tv shows, etc..

Oh boy. I think that did the job

The only thing bug me out. That widgets are refreshing too often. I wrote about it before but idk if it will be fixed.

Just for information 

If you use a Widget "Recently Played Albums" and the setting "more..." item enable.
When you use "more..." item this open "Music hub".

Same thing for Widgets "Recommended Albums" and "Randoms Albums"
When you use "more..." item this open "Music hub".

Not sure the "more ..." item must be displayed for these 2 Widgets.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this. I have tested it with all the widgets you mentioned. 

I have make more test... 
Yes you are right only if you have 1 widget.

If you have more than one Widget, the "more..." item works always well with the widget 1

Then with all others widgets there are 2 cases :

1 - if you have use "more..." with the Widget 1 in first :
   with all other widgets, "more..." item open result of the Widget 1 with "more..."

2 - if you have not use "more..." with the Widget 1 after kodi start :
   with all other widgets, "more..." item open "Music hub"

perhaps the settings of addon "embuary helper" can help ? 
(kodi settings => addons => my addons => program addon => embuary helper)

Hmm... How can it help? Where I can find that logs later? Sorry, i'm new to Kodi.
I'm interested in help to fix that refreshing since it slow downs devices. I was using Arctic Horizon skin and there, widgets did not refresh that often

1 - first disable the service and see if it is better or not
2 - if yes, enable the service then change the "service interval time" value

Thank you, that has helped, so i was able to reproduce this issue. But after some tests, unfortunately I can not find a solution for this

For the Netflix views have you thought about an option to show the full fanart in the window, rather than using the full-screen? If there is an option for this I haven't seen it anywhere.

So like this where the fanart is just in the top-right of the home screen:

If you have enabled "blur" you can set the fanart of netflix preview window to "full size". That means nearly fullsize, i think it is 80%.





Maybe this is, what you mean?

I’d like this too, but can’t seem to find it with the reflections update? Well, I can find it but the option doesn’t change/resize any of the fanart.

Edit: I don’t mean on the homescreen, by the way.

The option "fullsize fanart" is only for the netflix preview window. It's used only in netflix homemenu layouts and the big icons (v2) views
