Possible bug:
- start party mode (music); "go to fullscreen on playback" is active
- music starts, screen is black
- hit "back" on remote, fullscreen/art is visible
doesn't happen all the time, but quite often

Good day. It seems to me that the navigation in the library nodes is not working properly. And so, I divided my media library into two parts: films and cartoons. Added a new node "cartoons" and corrected the node "movies", using the "path contains / does not contain". This all works great and correctly filters my videos. However, when I move up a level (two points) to the parent node, instead of my custom node, a default node is opened for movies in which there is no filtering. I have to press up (two points) again and only after that I get to my nodes. How can I fix this?
P.S. translation using google translate.
An example of my node:
titles.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<node order="10" type="filter" visible="Library.HasContent(Movies)">
<label>Все фильмы</label>
<icon>DefaultMovieTitle.png</icon>
<content>movies</content>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="path" operator="doesnotcontain">
<value>AllVideo/Kids/</value>
</rule>
</node>
From the main menu, open this way:
ActivateWindow(Videos,"library://video/movies/titles.xml",return)

Hi Mike.
You had asked that we request new features for v.19 a while ago. I have another:
Depending on guests, sometimes I need to use complete English subtitles for everything spoken. Other times I just need subtitles for foreign spoken parts. Sometimes I don't know if I need subtitles at all. When first screening a new title, I may find out I need a foreign sub displayed for example. I'm usually rudely interrupted, pause playback, and start selecting subs using trial and error until I happen across the correct sub I'm looking for. They are all listed in the subtitles menu as 'English'. There may be 6 'English' subs. Hearing impaired, Non hearing impaired, Complete English only, Complete English and Foreign, PGS, SRT, etc. Once I find the correct sub I'm looking for, for that particular viewing, it would fantastic if I could save the 'info' about those subs so I could correctly load the correct one at title start for the future. I can't rename them to identify which is which because I'm using exact 1:1 iso rips.
So, I add 'use external .srt for foreign + full English' or 'use #3 in sub list for foreign only' to the file name of the title. Then I navigate in this skin to locate the file name and I have my sub info presented to me. This makes for some pretty long and confusing file names on top of the other media tag info already present in the file name. Alternately, I can edit the .nfo. Usually I add it to the 'tag line' so it's visible at the beginning of the synopsis while navigating the library in MyFlix view. This way I don't have to dig deep into the info page to retrieve the file name. Other notes could come in handy besides sub info too.
It would be wonderful if there was a 'notes' section available we could type in info for ourselves. This way we wouldn't have to leave Kodi to edit file names or .nfo's to jot down info. I don't care where the placeholder for this info would be but it would have to be common for all views. In MyFlix a new placeholder under the Logo would be perfect. Currently it's a blank area. Not sure if this is even possible to create let alone allow to be typed into and auto saved to Kodi database or shortcut to .nfo or something? Just a suggestion if you find it worthy of pondering. One thing is for sure, no other skin has anything like this...

Is there a recommended PVR/Live TV mod people are using which will work with the skin.
Mainly improvements around the usability and feel of EPG, layouts etc. tks

I could use some help. Relatively new at customizing skins. I worked briefly with Xonfluence and MQ7. At a suggestion from a Kodi user group on Facebook dedicated to modifying skins and such I switched to Nox Silvo. And I love it!!! I just have one minor issue I've been trying to resolve. I have vision problems. I'm currently doing all my customization and such on a laptop with only a 14" monitor. It's VERY difficult for me to manipulate the vertical scroll bars with my mouse. Is there any way I can make them wider so that I can see them better? I've taken a peek at the settings.xml file inside Nox Silvo folder, but I don't see which line "might" control vertical scroll bars. This problem I'm having is affecting both any add-ons I've installed as well any vertical scroll bars I find inside Kodi's system. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
