No, I mean after installing the skin like the attached picture

It looks like a problem with Skin Shortcuts addon. It *should* install it when you install Kodi and it *should* have a set of default items in the menu if you've not used it before. I'll need to test it to see what's gone wrong.

Are you using the newest version of the skin?

Are you able to edit the menu and add items? If you press 'S' to bring up the power settings and choose 'Copacetic' from the list, that will take you to the skin settings directly:



Then under 'Home' you can try 'Reset home menu shortcuts' which should rebuild the menu with defaults. Alternatively, you can go to 'Customise home menu' where you'll be able to add new items to the menu by going to 'add' and then configuring each item:

"Please let me know if there are some you need that are missing or if you mean something different. I'd rather not make that line longer as it can already end up quite long with multiple director credits e.g. the example below. I need to rethink this information anyway and thinking of adding another screen to the infodialog with full file info"


Great, thanks for working so quickly on the autoclose function! I think skins from Heppen (Cosmic) and JurialMonkey (Arctic Horizon) utilise an autoclose script for users to select from multiple time intervals, I'd have a look to make sure but i've got rid of everything and exclusively use your skin because the cosmetics are brilliant - but you could always have a look see and how they have integrated it.

I think the infodialogue is great already for purpose, it has the essentials and is minimalistic. I see some great looking skins that really let themselves down by bloating with too much info (obviously each to their own and not everyone will agree but often i find myself browsing content info more than consuming it out of morbid curiousity or FOMO lol). You could always replace title with clearlogo in info dialogue if available for added flair and even add TMDB / Trakt / Rotten Tomato Ratings. I wouldn't go making life too hard for yourself as the work you have put in already really compliments the look of the skin for artwork and simplicity when browsing.

Ah the info dialogue screen works a treat and i get the audio codec logo available on my library content, apologies, i read my post back and used totally the wrong wording, sorry. 

I was meaning on the top infoline of the player dialogue...which briefly shows content for now playing info breadcrumbs of [Title] [Year] [Video Quality] [Running End Time], I thought [Audio Quality] would be a handy addition for content with multiple audio sources (Annoyingly, kodi sometimes bypasses True HD for AC3 2.1 on my AV setup) . Not a major issue as i can always go to the audio settings and check which sound format has been selected.

Keep up the great work, and thank you again for sharing this skin

Are you planning to make a sort of an indicator to see how many episodes there are left or how many episodes a tvshow have?

Ahh right I'm with you now, yes I can add it there

Will consider what changes can be made to the infodialogs, but I'll probably try and finish the remaining bits first then come back to it, as I'm a bit burned out on those dialogs after having to rebuild my widgets for them.

There are a couple of ways I've tried to include this information without adding too much visual clutter.

There's the universal progress bar, which you should see in all the views and should give a rough visual indicator at thet TV Show and Seasons how much you've watched (see screenshots below).

Are you after a numerical indicator of X episodes unwatched instead of X/Y episodes watched?

Thanks for answering.  And yes, I mean a numerical indicator.

I'll have a think about if i can incorporate this into the design in a nice way. 
I can also probably add a skin setting to replace "X/Y Watched" with "Z Unwatched" or something like that as well

The latest version of the skin was installed and working on the movie shortcut after pressing s, but it appears black

I don't know why the abbreviations are not pulled

With regard to the secondary menu list , ie, copacetic,settings,power,exit etc. If you are using a remote and not a keyboard , long press on back button will bring the list on screen.

[Faisall1414]

First, I use the computer, I know how to get out of the secondary menu, but my words are why I have a black color on the main screen instead of movie posters and it changes like the video uploaded by the developer

[ontap]

I added my movies and tv shows , scanned them into the library, set up my widgets, and the background artwork on the home screen populated itself ? Try changing view from "night" to "light" ?

[realcopacetic]

Right now the homescreen fanart displays based on the menu items highlighted, but the fallback is to show movie artwork, so that should be displaying even if you only have favourites in your menu:

xml:


    <variable name="Slideshow_Path">

        <value condition="Window.IsActive(home) + String.Contains(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(path),music)">musicdb://artists/?albumartistsonly=true</value>

        <value condition="Window.IsActive(home) + String.Contains(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(path),tv)">videodb://tvshows/titles/</value>

        <value condition="Window.IsActive(home) + String.Contains(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(path),sets)">library://video/movies/sets.xml</value>

        <value condition="Window.IsActive(home) + String.Contains(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(path),recently)">library://video/movies/recentlyaddedmovies.xml</value>

        <value>videodb://movies/titles/</value>

    </variable>

Sot it's weird if you're seeing a black screen. The only time I see a black screen and the items such as Movies and TV Shows are hidden is when I try to open Kodi on my shield but my server is turned off. Then I get a screen similar to the one you shared. But if you can access your media in other skins, I'm not sure why nothing's loading properly on the Copacetic homescreen.

If you press down on the homescreen, do you see the widgets?

[realcopacetic]

As @PatK mentioned (see below), can you post a log file and so we can see if there's an error somewhere? 

https://kodi.wiki/view/Log%20file

@Faisall1414 it's unnecessary to show us a picture of a black screen.

Try telling us a bit about your hardware/software configuration and attach a proper debug Log file (wiki) URL that you have pasted to a public paste-bin.

Hello!) Sorry for not answering, I was busy with work and affairs .. I want to say that this is the fastest skin I have ever tried. It's incredible
Sorry for the feature requests that might seem arrogant, but I think that these changes would add pluses to this skin without littering it with unnecessary details)
1) Is it possible to add blur depending on the fanart, like for example in the Arctic Horizon or the Arctic Zephyr Reload. I really like this feature) I think it would look nice) So that when entering the movie or tv shows  library, the colors change depending on the movie or tv shows (media content) 
2) Is it possible to add the ability to scroll through extrafanart in the information dialog box?) Now it is possible to see the plot, trailer. It's very beautiful and very convenient But unfortunately there is no way to see the rest of the fanart(
3) Will full support for widgets from their sources ever be available?
 The only features that I would like to see in this beautiful skin!)
