Who wants to try. I would say it works pretty stable.

Does anyone know how to get the "local library" filter setting to work in "Dialog video info lists filter"? I have collections enabled and I can access them through movies > collections but they are not showing up in the video info dialog. Only the filter options "streaming services" or "none" are showing the entries at the bottom of the info dialog, but they are showing stuff I don't have in my library. Also, I cannot activate "advanced video info dialog" if that has sth. to do with this issue...? Thanks again

For better integration with the local library, it is necessary to turn on option in the tmdb helper:
"Get additional details from the local kodi library database".
What is "advanced video info dialog"?

That did the trick, thanks a lot.
Hm, not sure what it does. It's the 2nd setting in media library views > video information.

ohhh you mean "use extended video info dialog". that function is not working. I accidentally forgot to remove it from the settings.

Ah ok, got it. Thanks again

Is it possible to insert a version, e.g. biglandscape, in addition to landscape.

- From settings, I have selected "Clock + Weather" for header for all windows, and it working except in PVR Hub, which XML file should I edit to enable this?
- Subtitles button is not showing in OSD when playing Live TV, is there a way to add it to the OSD? As it would be helpful to enable or disable CC when available.

- I will add it in the next update. I think it will work if you add in 'Custom_1116_PVR_Hub.xml' line

Code:

<include>Header</include>

- I'm not sure that's even possible. Subtitle add-ons download a text file (subtitle) from a website.

Unfortunately its still crashing Kodi .. Only when using TBM 
Setting up the skin and browsing is OK
Any time I try & enter into a menu ( Video menus) or try & play a file it crashes Kodi On android Only.
Skin On Windows has been the best performer with Nil Issues. 
All Other skins are fine including AH2 with this new update 
 

This version I uploaded works perfectly for me, although I didn't notice that it was actually Kodi 21 alpha.
I also made some changes in the skin, so maybe that's why it works. @Angelinas are also working on updating SHS. Everything is still in the test phase, so we will see when kodi 20.1 comes out.

- Thanks, but adding that line didn't fix the issue.
- Subtitle button will open subtitles settings, which can be enabled to show Closed Captions in case of live tv, this works in other skins, including default Estuary and Titan.

I edited my post. Its Now working beautifully on Shield...
yep the Loading icon although states V20.0 RC , system information tells us its K21 alpha but very stable.

I was testing on chromecast where its crashing still. 
Might do a full clean install and report again

It should work, but you should turn on header, "Configure Header for all windows (except home)" .

@matke : Great news. Clean install & reconfiguring skin on chromecast with the latest nightly has fixed all crashes. 
@AchillesPunks & @matke : TBM pulls ratings via SHS /Metadata utilities  OR Tmdb Helper ? 
In AH2 skin I am using Amazon VOD addon directly to populate widgets and it displays all the artwork , TBM is unable to ! 
Is there any way we can have option to utilise either both or select either of the options so thats achievable
The only other  addon which I am unable to get artwork from is iPlayer www.

Both.
Generally artwork should be part of addons not skins. I think you should ask the authors of these two addons to implement better support for artworks.
Also, I can't test any of these addons since I don't use them. What is missing from the artwork? I assume a clear logo.
