Hi there!

Thanks so much for the skin, it looks really good!!
Yesterday i´ve updated to jarvis rc1 and of course to nox.silvo 3.0.1 for jarvis
Everything works as expected, really nice skin. And i really like the new jarvis function to customize widgets and so on
But i´ve got two questions:
1. Is it possible, in the kino widget, to direclty show the rating? In Isengard beneath the widget the movie name AND the imdb rating was shown, i think in jarvis this isn´t possible...
2. Is there any option to speed up the skin? I´ve got an i3 with 2gb Ram on Windows 10 32bit and the skin is sometimes really laggy (home menu, scroll through lists, ...) or even completely hangs up (starting a movie, watching live-tv and switch through channels)... I already disabled all views i don´t need, now i´ve 5 views activated... and i already enabled the kiosk mode, but in my opinion both didn´t work...

Thanks for your help!!!

Hi Junias,

1. Not sure ATM. I am quite busy with widget coding so after the update within a week or two i could take a look then. If you still have any issues please remind me after the update.

2. Sounds a bit strange that you are having issues. As i understand people can run this on there Pi that has lower specs and works quite well. I assume this is not a fresh/clean install.

But here are some things to keep in mind or to try in order of most importance; (really number 2 should be first place and 3,4 and 5 are not always the best solutions but i like to think of them as the last resort, anyway just a guess at what you could try since you have not provided a debug log)

1. Downloading then Pasting the GitHub download over the top of the existing silvo skin folder will break things (things change and get removed and left over files screw your install)
2. PROVIDE A DEBUG LOG SO WE CAN SEE WHAT IS SLOWING YOUR SYSTEM DOWN
3. Reset your main menu
4. Delete and rescan your database
5. Try a fresh install of kodi

If I had to guess about any performance issues then it might be similar to Shinoby92 and the player control problem they have... If you use streaming add-ons they may be poorly coded and use up all the resources of a process thread blocking things for a moment. If I am not mistaken, Krypton moves playback from the main thread to it's own so you both can try the latest Kodi v17 Krypton, but if it helps...

@mikesilvo164: I noticed that you are experimenting with the handwritten font for the CD visualisation. I hope that you will consider some font besides fafers and the new experimental one, since they basically don't work in any language other than English, and that can look anything from weird to plain ugly when displaying Cyrillic letters or even accented Latin script. I realise that it's a huge bother researching this issue, but since I generally need these kinds of fonts in my computer use, I've found three fonts that strike a good combo between looking like nice handwriting while supporting most European languages (Gunny Rewritten, Pecita Font, and Occupy). They all seem to be free and in the public domain.

I hope you find this useful. Cheers!

I used one for the lyrics, test it if you can, but do you have any others to pick from for the CD labels?

Hi all
I'm trying to get the same view on all my different tab, submenus etc. I like the side list but it seems I have to set it for every tv shows individually and even in each seasons as well.

I might very likely be missing something in the settings. If someone could point me to the settings for that.

Also, I'm having problems with my sub menus. I have set up in my picture main menu. a sub menu for "Flikr's interesting" today and a couple of others. If I select the sub menu directly, it plays well, but if I select the main tab to see all the sub menus items I have, I get a blank page. I tried to change action for the main tab but really not sure where I should point it to see all my sub menus items when dealing with addons.

Thanks

Try deleting viewmodes.db in the userdata (wiki) database folder and re-selecting the choices for your views. For the menu issues post your script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml file so I can see what your path for the Main Menu item is but clicking the Main Menu item should not open a list of your added submenu items automatically...

Hi,
Random question ... I'm using Advanced Launcher to set up games, but when browsing the directories I can't see any EXE files. They are visible using Confluence, so I'm assuming there's a specific skin setting somewhere, but I can't spot it. Any ideas?

I don't use Advanced Launcher so if you can post some screenshots of what works in Confluence but does not in this skin, it would be very helpful

@mikesilvo164:
as you are "playing around" with music fullscreen, think about adding this additional view:

At the moment it is unlikely to be included since you can add the mod yourself if you prefer. Might re-visit after the next repo push but for now...
