**Edit** Are you going to skin the TMDBH Info menu to look more like ExtendedInfo?? If so I guess it would be fine without Extendedinfo.

I imagine the info window won't be skinned to look like anything but the skin Wink

Well the standard "Look" of the Browse or info section of TMDBH is just a plain boring looking list, and from reading the the wiki section of TMDBH it has to be skinned by the skinner to achieve any type of better look, so I was assuming thats what he was going to do. This is why many people prefer to use Extendedinfo for info screens because its so much better looking than a list.

In the list view, is it possible to have an option for bigger font size?

Sorry, only focusing on fixing bugs and missing features for the time being. Not adding anything new at the moment.

If you want to change font sizes, you can edit the 16x9/Font.xml file.
I have found the Font.xml file. But I can't find the font name which is used for the list. Can you give me the name...

Font-Button is the bold weight font and Font-ListInfo is the normal weight font.

Note that these are also used in other places (e.g. ListInfo font is used for Plot textboxes).

That's a mod. There's no Python 3 compatible official repo version of ExtendedInfo and the last update to the Leia version was in 2017.

All addon dependencies need to be available in official repo for a skin to be included in the official repo (which is the plan here).

Also, as a general rule, I really dislike addons with scripted windows that use their own skins. I think a media centre skin should strive to have a seamless and integrated appearance between all the parts.

What are you talking about? TMDbH uses standard video plugin paths for movie/show lists and so can be used with any skin viewtype. If you don't like how Eminence looks then why are you using it as a skin?

Here's popular movies from TMDbH...

And again using a different viewtype...

And here's the TMDbH info screen which uses the native video info dialog

Thanks Jurialmunkey. I have changed Font-Button to the regular weight and increased the font size to 45. It works perfectly now. I can read the movie titles easily. Big Grin

Yea, I was talking about the bottom pic, that has to be skinned for it to look like that. I just thought the Browse option opened the info screen, so theres really no option in TMDBH to open the info screen by default, only Browse or Play right?

Press Info on your remote or i on keyboard. Or long press on an item and choose "show info" from context menu if you don't have an info key.

If you want Kodi to open info by default instead of play, there's already an option in the normal Kodi settings to change the default select action.

TMDbH doesn't use "skins". It uses the native info dialog.

The only "skinning" that is done is that TMDbH needs a custom window added that it calls for the purposes of navigation, and some custom properties for people (e.g. extra infolabels for birthday/birthplace/deathday/aliases etc. need to be added so that when info for a person is shown there's actually useful info -- since the standard year/genre/director/ratings in the info dialog don't make sense for a person. ).

Yes, just wish TMDBH had an option to open info by default when clicked, as I dont want to open info by default for all of kodi, only when in TMDBH.

Hello,

I'm very glad with the Eminence Theme which is my favourite.

I have a question : in my video library I have usual films and films for the children.
Thanks to the menu customization I have an entry for each based on playlists I've created.
But is there a way to show only the usual films in the "showcase" on the homepage ? Actually I have a mix of both.
It would be very cool to choose a specific folder for that.
Sorry if it's a noob question, but I've found nothing for that in Kodi, add-ons or the theme settings.
Thanks.

Thank you. I really like this list view. I just wonder whether the other views are as good as this one Smile
