I have a bit of odd issue that I can't seem to resolve.  The "Trailer" plays slow and skippy.  So 4k Playback is fine, 1080p 3D is fine, and everything else plays just fine. Its just the trailers.   Anyone have any ideas?

Can you guys add support for IMAX media flag. Lot of IMAX enhanced contents are coming out now.

Thank you that worked perfectly! As for my other issue, I've figured it out. I had to enable movie sets in settings>media>videos>show movie sets for those also having the same issue.

Hello, 

I've done a fresh kodi matrix install with this skin and populated my list from my emby server. However, I seem to be missing the moviesets\collections menu. Is this because I am using emby?

Also, I can't seem to get rottentomatoes or metacritics ratings to show up. I've installed the Universal Movie Scraper and put in my omdb key but it doesn't seem to be working.

The only thing i can help you with, is to get rt & mc ratings: If you have set your omdb key in tmdbhelper addon, please go to skin settings > furniture > select media flags. Enable rottentomatoes & metacritic and the ratings should show up, when tmdbhelper has any data for the selected movie/tvshow/etc.

Thank you that worked perfectly! As for my other issue, I've figured it out. I had to enable movie sets in settings>media>videos>show movie sets for those also having the same issue.

Could you please test this version? https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arc...atch-4.zip

Trailers should be play much smoother now (if "show now playing video in background" is disabled in skin settings > background)

@beatmasterrs addon content

Some addons automatically force a view type or return the wrong content type. If you might have issues with non-legal addons, there is no support from me. Anyway, this is an experimental feature, so there is nothing i can do, sorry.

@beatmasterrs  On the device odroid N2 Coreelec could be set but not on the PC, so I copied the settings from Coreelec to the PC and it's OK

I have always had this issue with this skin and the fix is to edit the views order in MyVideoNav.xml to put the views you locked right after the list views (50,550) in the <views> tag on line 6. For example I have set view locks on 53 poster and 57 extra info so I edited my views line to look like this:

Code:

<views>50,550,53,57,501,507,509,510,511,512,513,504,56,55,555,59,54,51,58,52,500,514,515,516,517,519,520,521,522,524,526,527</views>

This change is overwritten on skin update, so you'll need to re-edit the file after update.

You can kind of do this yourself if you replace the 1.85 aspect ratio flag with an IMAX logo png. That's what I did. The harder way would be to go in the XML and add a line to display the imax png when "IMAX" is in the filename. I'm not sure if adding an extra flag will work flawlessly or not.

Hey @beatmasterrs did the clearlogos shrink since the last time I used them (+/- Feb '21) or am I just imagining things?

The logo is hard to read and there is a lot of screen real-estate left above it. Is there any code I can fiddle with to increase the clearlogo size on my install? Thanks!

If you take a look at the artwork section in the kodi wiki, you can see, that clearlogo have a aspect ratio of 80:31 https://kodi.wiki/view/Artwork_types#clearlogo
Sure, there is always space for information somewhere on the screen. And there is a design language that every skin has. A ClearLogo that extends to the edge of the screen does not fit the Arctic Zephyr design. The clearlogo height is mostly 102 px in the skin. Please have a look at Includes_Home.xml L4104

In the latest version, an option to show player controls in the extended now playing info is included:

I've been playing with the code a little bit to allow for a height of 204px – which is a very visually appealing size and, most importantly, very legible. (No more "The Book of BOBA FETT")

I've been trying to expand the height upward (i.e. growing 102 px upward instead of downward into the widget labels), but sadly I haven't found the right line(s) to edit yet. I'm assuming it's something to do with a "<top>" somewhere but I'm too inexperienced to tell.


EDIT: for anyone else playing around with this: 159px works without causing overlap with the widget label.
