Mike - this is a great release - thanks so much. My kids are especially happy at these two changes:

- Add zoom animation to Wall view
- Add zoom animation to Small Icons view

At the risk of imposing further, is there a way to add the zoom to infowall as well?

And is there a way to buy you a beer? I didn't see a link to donate anywhere.

Thanks, Carl.

I would have to redesign a lot of the view to add that (I tried to already). I am sorry but this one will be very unlikely

I feel weird taking donations and usually just avoid answering but if anybody wants to donate I would appreciate you being generous to Team Kodi instead.

I see you have already done that but more couldn't hurt

[mikeSiLVO]

Some major changes on Git, I would appreciate some feedback and testing for bugs.

Thanks.

[wilmans2m]

will test it this morning along with new rc of isengard. Will try your suggestion too for my problems.
Thanks MikeSilvo164.

Hi Mike,

Great work with the skin, been using it as my default for quite a while.

Could i ask for a detailed font identifcation, i like to change various fonts but alot i am unsure of where exactly they are, font 10, font 12 etc..

Also when the Skin updated yesterday it defaulted and my custom fonts were lost. It was easy to reinstsall but is there any way to prevent this happening on future updates?

well found bugs with boxset.

First :
view : showcase
view settings : - Toggle on
- Display cases on
- showcase mod on
- boxset mod on
- hide brochure on

if showcase mod is off, all is ok. If on, on boxset movies, there is a problem before boxset opens. if you look carefully, you see a case open before the boxset opens itself. But you see only the down part (under boxset).

Second :
Same options. Problem with opening cases & rolling discart. If boxset mod is enable, the opening case & rolling discart is ok for the next 3 movies but...that's all. After those 3 movies, nothing happens. We only see the thumb from the movie but that's all.

Hope you will be able to fix it.

Thanks again.

Well integration of Mr V widget mod will be appreciate

Otherwise, i always have problem with having movie set. Even if i check it, impossible to have movies gathered.
Fresh install of kodi rc & last github silvo mod.

Don't understand. On my htpc, i have kodi 15 of 15/06 & silvo mod from 19/06 and it's ok with boxset. Really don't understand.
log is ok.
Any advice ? Thanks.

The widgets are already integrated in the mrv_widgets branch on GitHub. Instructions are in the readme located in skinextras\widgets.

Did you try my previous advice?

mmhh when checking log file i found this :

- ERROR: CImageLoader:oWork - Direct texture file loading failed for special://skin/backgrounds/default_bg.jpg

- 15:40:16 T:5436 ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi15\portable_data\userdata\playlists\video\Enfants.xsp\
- 15:40:16 T:5436 ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting special://profile/playlists/video/Enfants.xsp/

Thanks for any help.

Might be a permissions issue. Try moving your whole Kodi15 folder to the root of the C:\ drive "C:\Kodi15"

So, under skinextras there's no widget folder. Only BestPicture.xsp. SOLVE. Sorry misunderstand. But merging into aeon nox skin will be better i think.
About my errors, your advice solve my playlist issues. But error for default_bf.jpg remains.

Thanks for all.

I just do a "git pull" but I am having a little problem. the boxsets brochures remain empty.

For sets with a logo, this one appears but nothing else. Should there not be some information?

Also, would it be possible to disable the Cases for sets?

[wilmans2m]

disable cases for set ? No. Maybe as an option but boxset is a must have.

[Levi59]

As an option yes. As it was in this exemple :

The only way to know what font goes where is to look at the label control and check the font used. It varies where the label is and how the font looks. If you want to modify the skin and keep your changes while still being able to update then check this link for more info

I only see one reflection of a red case that needs to be fixed. I do not see any animations under the set when Boxset mod is active it is also the same animation used for the discs so only seeing 3 then not working makes no sense... your issues may be specific to your machine.
Try this:
Shutdown Kodi, delete all silvo skin folders, start Kodi, you should default to confluence skin, then download and install the 2.0.4 version from the first post and install using the addon mangers install from zip option.

You can ignore the error about the default background.

Is anyone else seeing any of the issues described above by wilmans2m?

Click here for instruction.

I'll add an option to hide cases for movie sets. I think it looks a little weird but to each there own

@MikeSilvo164

Well thanks for your answer. Will try it. Before i tested it, i installed a fresh kodi & addons & skin from github. For your information, same problem occur on my htpc. So i don't think it's hardware/software related.
But will try your solution to see

Can you take a video and post a link to youtube?

[Levi59]

For the set, it was because i use a lot of cover from dvd/bluray boxset with their own design, without the blue (red here) border. (here an example for the set Mad Max : )

@MikeSilvo164 When using Showcase with view setting set to flatten I don't get opening box set folder with discart. If uncheck flatten box sets work perfectly.

Window properties do not function in an item and focused layout. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about that. It is a limitation of using the Flatten option. That is why I hide the button when activating Flatten.
