1. on the widget in-progress movies/series, the time is not correct on info panel. it always shows the time from the beginning, not from the time where we stopped watching.

Completely unrelated to the skin. Skins cannot do math, and can only display information as it is provided from plugin/library. ListItem.EndTime is provided by Kodi as calculated from beginning of the file.

Maybe. I was using long time Estuary MOD V2 skin, which have this perfectly calculated. I was thinking its standard for all Kodi. Is that something you can implement?

If you want Kodi to calculate EndTime based upon resume point then you need to make a request for Kodi to do so in the requests forum:
https://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=9

- is it possible for the vertical menu to avoid the need to click enter every time to take us to let's say movies? with most skins this is automatic. I know it makes sense with the settings, but when we browse between the menus, it gets tiring

No skins do what you describe. In every skin you must first click a shortcut to activate a new window.
You are confusing widget groups (scroll to change) with window shortcuts (click to open).

Use the wizard in "Skin Settings > Menus > Wizard" to change layout.

Categories = Horizontal widget categories. Vertical menu provides additional shortcuts.
Compound = Horizontal widget categories. Removes vertical menu.
Classic = Removes horizontal menu. Vertical widget categories.

What do you mean no skins? Every skin I use so far to this. Default Estuary do this. With up and down arrow you can browse from left menu and it automaticaly switch to menu and shows widgets for that menu.
 

- I really miss information about the weather. is it possible to insert only the temperature where the date and time are now?

You can see weather information quickly from the options menu.

? somehow it seems to me that when we click on details we don't get any new information, unless we click on the left and there we get a huge font for the plot and all other informations?

I don't understand this comment. The info dialog is packed with additional info about directors, writers, budget, cast, awards etc.

- and lastly... the plot is only two lines on most views. it is very difficult to read the plot and it takes a long time to load everything. is it possible to have more lines or maybe make the font smaller?

Disable ratings and/or infoline will give an additional line of plot each.

Skin Settings > Details > Ratings
Skin Settings > Details > Infoline

You can also access the large plot box via the context menu. Or you can map it to a remote key with ActivateWindow(1113)

1. The codecs line on home widgets is visible only if the widget is the last one in the section (classic layout). If it's not then below it shows a part of the next widget - posters or boards or etc.

This is intentional and won't be changed.

If you want an "all in one" type of view, change mode to Compound and use submenu widgets with the categories slide up option
Skin Settings > Menus > Categories slide up on focus

Then you will have categories with submenus that can be used to switch through widgets and have a footer always visible


 

2. In the codecs line info there is no information about subtitles in the video - can it show at least if there are external subtitles available?

Set codec style to text and you can see all audio and subtitle tracks (subs appear between square brackets whereas audio tracks appear outside the brackets)

1. This doesn't make sense to have codecs line only on the last widget... Why not on the others like in AH2? I don't like the compund view.
2. Maybe I should have said that I use codec icons and thats what I prefer. Not text... Why don't you implement it for icons too with an option for enable/disable?

Anyway, thanks for your efforts!

1. I was just about to ask this same question and I see you are already discussing. I also don't like it and it doesn't make sense to me that only the last widget has information. I'll try another view, but I think I'll go back to AH2. It's good to have options.

Fuse is really awesome! Many bugs are now fixed. it is great. However the interface seems slightly too busy to me. I would like to make a few suggestions :

- I think we should be able to make the left pane completely disappear, like Netflix.

- An option (Widget) to not display the next widget line, to obtain a view identical to the last line with the logos, but on all lines.

- An option to display only the 2 most important logos at the bottom left, that would be great -> Audio and HDR codec. Knowing that the definition we already have at the top at the information line with the SD/4K logo. It would be much cleaner. Plus the other logos are ugly. ^^ And display all other codec information only when entering the movie information area. With a deployment effect, like with covers.

I think that these small details make it easier to read and make the interface more user-friendly ?

Merci beaucoup pour ce que tu fais.

Awesome skin!
I have 2 different setups running Kodi 21.
Both show tmdbhelper error when I click down for more info from OSD.
However, Recommendation, cast etc work fine from the left panel when pressing 'i'.
Is my problem associated with Omega or is there a setting I can change to make it go away?

Beautiful skin that I've been using for a few weeks, I love how it's been designed and the customization options available to the user.

I have two questions:

1) The "in progress" widget is not working. I would like to display in a widget the list of movies and episodes that I have only partially watched.

2) Additionally, the "recently watched" widget only shows movies and episodes that I have watched completely and not just those that have been partially watched.
I noticed that in the "Metadata Editor" the "date and time last played" field is not being written.
Is there a way to solve this issue without resorting to syncing with Trakt?

Thank you

Not sure if it's my setup with Arctic Fuse or what's going on but if I have a show in progress and hit the back button to return to check out things or change something in settings ,the show used to play full screen but in the background top right. Kind of see through..now it's in a small window bottom right and paused but can still hear episode playing. How to revert back to the other ? Please and thank you beforehand. Just happened recently with update I'm thinking of skin. Kodi 20.3

Go Settings / Appearance / Background Video and turn on.

Very nice. Thank you kindly.

can we not make sub-categories into widgets anymore?

maybe i'm missing the option somewhere

my existing sub-category widgets still work if i don't change anything, but one of the recent updates removed/hid the option to toggle them

The option can be found in the category's options, not for the individual submenu item.

It's not an individual per item setting -- the setting applies to the whole category -- so it was actually in the wrong place before hence the move.

NAVIGATION (Library side menu)

• Hello @jurialmunkey. I tested several navigation options, behavior of the return key. The one that seems the most ergonomic is “previous”. However, it remains counterintuitive behavior. When you return to the side pane with the return key, it changes categories without being asked. More precisely, this causes two actions at once, the pointer ends up in the pane on the current category, and the background image brings us back to the Home category at the same time. I think there is something to refine on this side.
  

 

• Also, It would be great if when we are in the side pane, a simple click on the return key closes the pane and brings us back to the horizontal list of current categories.
  

 

• Also, I don't know if this only happens to me, but the dot in the sidebar, indicating the current vertical category, doesn't appear when we're on the Home page. Which creates a form of confusion.
  

 

• Finally, it is true that if there was a solution to avoid having to click to move from one category to another from the side pane, it would be a significant plus in terms of ergonomy. However, I understood that it was difficult to implement or that it was not "logical" depending on how you thought about how this Skin would work.

TRAILER (Information page / Background trailer)
It would be great if the trailers launched automatically from the information page after a few seconds and, above all, stopped automatically when you left the information page!

PS: I just saw that you improved the film information page by adding cover and landscape. I think it's great, it's exactly what's missing. Thanks!

I don't know what the reason could be but I'm trying to add more category items within several hubs and it doesn't add any more. I am doing it as I have done until now, below I click on add list, categories, videos, add list and there it always added 3 items but now none, do you know what could be happening to me? Is there a maximum number of items allowed per category and submenu? Thank you so much

Can Arctic Fuse be made to obfuscate the episode thumb for unwatched items?  It works in Estuary and AZR, but I can't seem to make it work in Fuse.  This can cause something to be spoiled which you didn't want. 

AF 4.80
Kodi Omega Nightly

Setting which I believe affects display.  Turning off Episode thumbs for unwatched items should display the series thumb for unwatched items only.



In Estuary skin and AZR all unwatched items display the series thumb and once they are watched it automatically changes to the episode thumb.


In AF all episodes display the episode thumb and doesn't seem to honor the Kodi setting saying not to.
