Can someone tell me what font setting to increase to enlarge fonts in the vertical menu? Also, is there a way to move the vertical menu a bit more to the left, in order to "thin" it a bit?

Thanks!

Guys, anyone...?

Hi! I'm using this skin on Isengard. A rather basic question here. I did some searches but found nothing, I wonder if I'm searching well!
When I use it for music in fullscreen, I get a fanart picture in the background, which is OK. For artists without fanart, I get a slideshow of random artists in my library. I don't like this feature -- I prefer no picture (or a default pic) than pictures that are totally unrelated to the music being played. Is there a setting to change this?
Thanks

i have another question, i don´t exactly know if it´s skin related or not...
i´m using kodi 15.2 with silvo 2.0.9 and extended info scripts

every time i´m playing a movie/video/stream, there is a label with "loading..." on top of the screen, not very small. the "loading" animation is rotating for about 5-10sec, then it hangs up... from this moment i cannot use kodi, the keyboard doesn´t react. then, something after 3-5 minutes, the loading-label disappears and i can use the keyboard etc again...
does anyone know what the problem is
thank you very much!

i want to push my problem...
thanks for any help

I can't seem to select "Icon" as my main menu type after the latest commit. Did anything change?

You need to install script.toolbox
http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:ToolBox_Script

Thanks! That worked!

I installed Kodi from scratch and installed the skin through Github by cloning the project. This causes Kodi to not automatically install all the prerequisites as it normally would if installing through a repo. Is this normal or can I change it to automatically install prerequisites?

does anyone know if it is more-possible or likely (in aeon nox and/or skin shortcuts) to assign background/fanart to submenus?

i did ask this before way back in post #712
hope you don't mind my asking again.
i also searched the shortcuts thread but did not find an answer, or at least one i could understand.

thanks

Not an option within nox silvo as far as i can see.

Skin Shortcuts supports adding the background property to a submenu item, but the skin would need to be updated to use that value - the visibility condition would need to be removed from the choose background button in script-skinshortcuts.xml, and the conditions and values for the background in IncludesBackgroundBuilding.xml and Includes_LiveBG.xml would need adjusting to check whether the submenu is focused and to then display the background based on the properties of the submenu rather than the main menu.

guisetting.xml file

Is that correct? I thought that things changes with the new menu system, and can't see anything in there that reflects my menu's contents.

guisettings.xml - contains the skin settings

The menu settings are stored in the skin folder 1080i - script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml

Actually that files contains the final 'built' menu - the files the menu is built from (which are what you want if transferring to a different system) are in userdata (wiki)/addon_data/script.skinshortcuts

@ Mr.V thank you for the reply


@ BobCratchett thank you for your reply
this is great news.
also thank you for the tips on how to begin adding it.
this is going to be at the top of my to do list for the new year.

thanks again

@Captain Hero:
The ressource-addons are only supported in Kodi >=Jarvis.

So i managed to get a hold of an OE 7 development build running Jarvis Beta 5. I found the mentioned resource addon and installed it. After install indeed logos again started to appear but what i noticed that still many logos that were already working in the Isengard skin version where missing in the Jarvis version with the resource addon.

My question would be: Can it not be made optional to either use the resource addon or if that is not available or certain logos are not available to revert to manually uploaded logo packs such as what was available in the Isengard version? This would give flexibility to this feature both in terms of what KODI version someone is running and if certain logos are simply missing from the resource addon.

EDIT: After some reverse engineering using the Isengard xmls vs the latest master update (Jarvis) i managed to get the old downloaded color logos working. So again can it not be set in these xmls that IF the new resource repo is available on the Kodi install and also has the appropriate logo then it can be used otherwise to fall back on color flags stored locally IF available? That way you would have the best of both worlds for everyone.

By the way i noticed something with the widgets today. If you have say a Comming Soon Movie widget and you click on one of the Movie Posters it opens up the info page for the movie. In this infopage the poster and general movie infos are not filled. The plot summary is also not filled however when the plot summary is selected and i click on it a seperate box pops up where it is displayed correctly. If i scroll further down i see all normal info menus such as cast (with working pictures), similar movies (with working posters), trailers (with working thumbnails) etc. So i wonder why the initial standard infos do not display correctly.

Just had a quick look. Same Issue here. I will look further into it, not sure yet but it could be a plugin or kodi issue. Some info labels are not working as intended atm and am sure they were previously working.

So I managed to update my OE setup to a dev build running Jarvis Beta 5. There i noticed that the widgets did work correctly (posters and all info there) when i clicked on one of them from the Comming Soon or similar widget. I had to revert to my OE 6 Kodi 15.2 setup because the dev build was slow and i noticed that here the issue has returned. So it might be an Isengard issue?

Hi,

script.skin.helper.service makes me reboot OSMC ?

[Solo0815]

me not! (Wetek Play)

*joking_mode_off* Please have a look at the debug-log, what is causing this. Post the log on pastebin and ask marcelveldt. Maybe he knows, what to do.

Thanks!

So you want to make the font bigger and shorten the amount of space available for that bigger font...

Have you checked the background setting in the skins music OSD settings or the Artist Slideshow settings if you have that set as the background?

If you have banned add-ons (wiki) installed with crappy repos that provide outdated scripts and create all sorts of problems then you have to take it up with the provider of that stuff. Using illegal streaming add-ons will never work flawlessly because they are illegal

P.S. It is impossible to assist with bugs like this without a debug log (wiki)

Thanks! That worked!

Github versions are development versions so by definition they will never be as easy as release versions therefore you need to keep track of the commits and where development is going or wait till the releases are out and read the changelog.

I'll look into adding it when I have some time but if you get it working you can always send me a PR

Not going to happen. If you see missing icons send them to me for addition to the coloured studio addon this way the whole community will benefit from a more complete pack.

Seems like an api issue maybe but I have not looked into it yet.

FYI, To those waiting for me to respond to them via PM, you will be waiting for awhile since I am really starting to dislike PM's and would rather discuss on the forums instead.

Thanks.

Well to be honest there was a lot missing i think. So wouldn't it be easier to integrate all the studio logos that are already present in the Isengard package as that seems to be in much better shape (for both movie and tv shows)? I noticed that a lot of well known logos were missing via the resource add on e.g.: FOX (US), Netflix, etc. and all the majority of these missing logos were all there in the Isengard version of your skin as local files.

[BobCratchett]

@Mr. V - first of, can I just say what amazing work your widgets are - clean code, lots of customisation options, great looks. Really superb. Having said that...

One bug - the 'fake art', for want of a better term, that is shown when the art type selected doesn't exists (no clearart, for example) only shows when the item is focused. (May just be panel style - tbh I haven't checked the list style)

And one feature request - unless I'm just missing this, which is quite possible - any chance of having the library nodes added to the widgets that can be selected from? I have a couple of library nodes that I normally use as a widget and whilst I can create a playlist to do the job it's an extra step that I'll avoid if at all possible

Thanks again for your work on this.

The coloured studio pack hasn't yet been updated with all the images. It was just pulled into the Kodi repo so it should be available as an update soon.
