Hi, me again.
I was using Kodi on a Firestick, but I've just done a fresh install with Arctic Zephyr Reloaded on a Nvidia Shield TV Pro.

Two niggling settings I can't seem to find (All when playing music related):
1. In the 'now playing' screen, I used to get a background slideshow for the now playing artist, but now I just get the default static backdrop. Which setting do I need to change?
2. When playing music I get a ticker tape message with the artist name & song title. How do I turn this off?

Thanks for any help!

Worked out question 1, but still stuck on the Artist/Song tickertape thing.

2. Do you mean in the music visualisation screen? A screenshot could be helpful.

Hi, I'm very sorry, I should've done that when I originally asked the question! Here is a screen shot:

It's the text in the centre of the screen that say's 'Genesis, Supper's Ready'

Also, are there any settings to get the static text at the bottom of the screen automatically hide itself after say 10 seconds or so, just to get a full screen experience, so it acts like a popup? Don't worry if not.

By the way. I love this skin. I've tried about half a dozen over the last couple of months since I discovered kodi, and your skin it the best by far. Thank you for your work on it and responding to questions on this forum. Very much appreciated.

Hi,

How do I get into the listview menu on a Nvidia Shield 2019 (Kodi 19.3) - with other skins, pressing the back button whilst in a menu opens the viewtype menu. Pressing the back button on this skin takes me back to the Home Menu. Do I need to enable something somewhere in settings to get this to work? As at the moment I can't change the view with the remote at all.

In one of my addons, Next Episode shows a screenshot of the new episodes instead of the poster for the show like the rest of my widgets so I need to change the view.

Thanks

I don't understand why the back button should open the view options? Depending on the view, just press left or up. This opens a small menu where you can change the viewtype

Currently, there is no option for auto hide the info, maybe in the future. There is only a option to auto hide the osd Thanks for your kind words

Pressing up just scrolls through whatever menu it is in, pressing left does nothing on the shield. With all other skins I have tried, it is the back button which opens the viewtype. I am wondering what other shield users are doing with this skin as I surely can't be the only one with this issue - though to be fair I was happy enough with the defaults but have one addon that has got screenshots for its widget instead of the usual posters and is driving my OCD nuts haha.

Please open the osd and click on the settings icon. In osd settings, disable > scrolling text.

Ah, thank you!

First make sure, you have skin settings > furniture > user rating overrides not set to "none".

☉ ‿ ⚆ DOH!
I cannot believe I overlooked this. I could have sworn I had made myself familiar with all options available in the settings, but alas I did not lol. Thanks a lot for this bit of info and the quick reply with the solution!

Is there a way to have the horizontal menu on the top, rather then the bottom?

with a lot of code, yes.
But with the existing options, not.

Thank you for the great skin. It's one of my favourites! I have a question regarding the implementation of clearlogo. Using TMDB Helper widgets. If I enable clearlogo in the "views" section so I can have it shown when browsing seasons and episodes within a season, it unfortunately puts two clearlogos on the home screen. One which is left aligned as expected, however the clearlogo that shows in "views" (which is center aligned) also shows, so I have two clearlogos shown on my home page. If I disable showing clearlogo on the homepage, then both of them disappear (the left one as well as the center one).

It seems it is impossible to have one instant of clearlogo on the home page and one instance of clearlogo in a season or episode view? I have tried every possible combination of settings and there's no way to accomplish this as far as I can see.

Can you clarify if this is intended behaviour, or whether it can be fixed if it is not intended?

Thank you so much!

Also, where are the colour schemes people are talking about? All I can do is edit individual colours. I am using the 1.1.69 from the official Kodi repo... but I can't find some of the settings people are talking about here in this thread. I feel like I'm using the wrong version?

There are two sections, wher you can change skin colors:
