Mike, I'm interested in album specific fanart for my soundtracks (I use Kodi for music only). I've set up some options in my advancedsettings.xml (see below) and I can see the movie-related/album-specific clearlogo and fanart (for example, a fanart and clearlogo for the film Gladiator when I'm playing the Gladiator soundtrack, etc.). The problem is I like to have my extrafanart for all other artists cycling and have it set that way in the Background options (both fanart and extrafanart checked), and I have multiple Soundtrack-related fanart backgrounds that cycle (pictures of film reels and that sort of thing).

So, my question is: Can I somehow set Background to fanart only just for my Soundtracks (which I've set up as an artist for all soundtrack albums, btw) and both fanart and extrafanart everywhere else?

By the same token, is is possible to set a custom Sort By for just the Soundtracks (by album) and something else (by year) for all other artists?

Much thanks!

If you want to customize display of backgrounds based on your own library then that has to be a personal mod and not something I should add to the skin. You would need to add a condition to the GlobalBackgroundVar ~line 53 in Variables.xml.

I did some searching and when i went to system>addons>side menu>list settings the hd/sd/3d indicators was off i turned it on and nothing has changed nothing is marking episodes as watched when i have watched an episode any help would be appreciated i have tried to look all over to sort it myself?

A lot of settings are contextual based. Meaning they should only appear when opening the views settings in the correct location. You should not see the HD/SD/3D indicators option in the addonbrowser window so that will be fixed.

That option (SD/HD/3D) is not the same as watched status indicators. List view does not have those as they go on poster views. List views have a checkmark to the right of the item when watched. The skin has no control of marking stuffed watched as that is Kodi core functionality. If your system is not actually marking things watched then there is nothing the skin can do to fix that.

Maybe this will help:

1. Go to main menu, choose "Videos" and press enter.
   
2. Choose "Files" and then "Add videos".
   
3. In the dialog box that opens up browse to a folder on a hard disk.
   
4. In the "Set Content" dialog box then set the contents of this folder to be movies. Next, select the option "Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title" and de-select all other options.
   
5. Select this folder and press enter.
   
6. Press the left arrow key on your keyboard and choose the Viewtype to be "List".
   
7. You now see two columns.
   
8. The left column contains a list of movies in the folder. This list has little "pictures" to the left of the movie name.
   
9. This picture is usually an icon of the company that made the movie. I.e.: 20th Century Fox, MGM, etc.
   
10. I would like that little picture to be the movie poster.
    

I would like that little picture to be the movie poster. Because the skin sometimes does that if it can't find the movie company. It is visually very clear if you can see all movie posters in List View. And the list view is the most clear view for Kodi and Aeon Nox for me.

Ok. That is what I thought you meant. Since the list view has the big poster to the right the skin prefers to show something else instead. You would need to mod this by removing or commenting out the studio values in the StudioIconVar ~line 1025 in Variables.xml

xml:


		<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Studio) + !Skin.HasSetting(coloredflags)">$INFO[ListItem.Studio,resource://resource.images.studios.white/,.png]</value>

		<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Studio) + Skin.HasSetting(coloredflags)">$INFO[ListItem.Studio,resource://resource.images.studios.coloured/,.png]</value>

Hi everyone :-)

After updating to Kodi v18 a few days ago i switched to the silvo-edition of my old favourite aeon nox, but something kept buggin me:
The video OSD is at the bottom, reliably covering up the subtitles. Since i contol my Kodi with my mouse every pause, changing the volume or just accidently nudging the mouse brings up the OSD for a few seconds and i can't read the subtitles.

So .. i made a small patch, and i wanted to offer it to everyone interested.

Ok y'all win... Added an option to move the buttons to the top:
