Everytime I open Kodi then click on the Submenu like trending movies. It feels like it freeze the display like 15-20 seconds. Then the blank widgets show up and the loading indicator. After that, when you click on submenu in different hub the blank widget and loading animation show up immediately.
But when you restart Kodi, that happen again...

It's just Kodi loading the skin xml files -- first load of the Media Window will always have some delay (I doubt it is 20 seconds though - I think you'd be surprised just how long 20 seconds is). Disabling the wall animation for the media filter should cut down on the loading time significantly as that uses a lot of skin code.

You're right. But it feels like 20 seconds. 😂
I thought it was just like when you close Kodi some data will automatically cleared. That's why it take some time when you open it again. I'm gonna do that. I also limit my widget in every menu to 2 and widget items to 10. That's why I'm waiting for update to enable "show more items" for limited widget just like in AH2. 🤗

With an empty Kodi 20.1 user profile I have this error when installing from the repo:

Quote:The dependency on script.skinvariables version 1.1.0 could not be satisfied.

What am I missing?

Look at post #55 to solve your issue.

I am a fan of arctic skin series, and there are many people in China who like your works as much as I do. We hope to have complete Chinese content, so that more Chinese people can use this great skin.👍

Is it okay if you rename the TV show hub from "TV shows" to "TV Shows"? I tried to change TV Shows main menu to custom then select TV show hub in action so I don't need to request it but it looks like you can't customize the hub anymore. Thanks

The video info panel defaults to the weather information for some video addons "e.g. Youtube", while working well for other addons "e.g. Netflix", hopefully this can be fixed soon. Thanks

You change back the submenu widget... Is this "just for now" or "forever"?

What do you mean?

Are you talking about the slide up when the submenu is focused? It is an option:
Skin Settings > Navigation > Widget slide up with submenu

Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't see that. I thought the changes are in the menus only. Thanks again.

Under PVR OSD, when I click down a couple of times, I get the list of channels, which I think is supposed to be sorted according to last played, but instead it is sorted according to number, is there a way to change the sorting criteria?

Is there a way to change what the 'spotlight' widget shows? At the moment it just appears to show random movies/shows but if possible I would like to be able to change to most recent releases for movies and in progress for tv shows.

Yes, you can. Just select the "background"... the one with smart text in the side.

Excuse me all, I'm sorry , but I dont find where to change the 'spotlight' widget
I can't find the "background"... the one with smart text in the side.

Hello, the playlist files, such as peliculasaleatorias.xsp, is there a way to limit their display to a limit, for example, of 30 movies? What do I have to modify? Thanks in advance.
