How can I delete the black area at the bottom in this view (outlined in red)?:

Either delete the floor.png image or mod the code in Includes_Backgrounds.xml

Thanks Mike, that worked! I think I also found a small bug with the live background cases for sets. If a set contains 4K quality movies, the cases on the live background show as Bluray, but when you go into the boxset, they show up as 4K just fine. So I don't think the live backgrounds mod is reading the 4K cases.

It looks like the skin.info.service script was not ready for 4k. I have updated the script to v1.0.5 HERE.

Some prerequisites here though:

You need the updated version of the skin cause the calls to the script have changed. The updated skin is pending review so you will need to install the GitHub version and instructions to do that are in the first post.

_________________________________________________________________


@ All There is an update for script.skin.info.service v1.0.4 that has already been merged to the Kodi repo and it looks like the skin reviewers are quite busy ATM so there will be a little bit of an adjustment period where the skin will not show set info correctly without some intervention.

There are two ways to fix it:

First is to downgrade the Skin Info script to v1.0.3 from my repo
Second is to update the skin from GitHub to v7.0.3

Then when the skin is updated to v7.0.3 you need to then update the script to v1.0.4 or v1.0.5 depending on which version happens to be in the Kodi repo at that time.

Just for clarification:

Aeon Nox SiLVO v7.0.2 needs Skin Info Service v1.0.3
Aeon Nox SiLVO v7.0.3 needs Skin Info Service v1.0.4 or above

I am having an issue where the stock intro video will not play sound except at the end. Is therea setting in the startup.xml in the skin that
needs to be edited.

Sounds like a possible issue with refresh rate change. I have a delay in audio when that happens for library items but not during startup for the intro. You can post your debug log (wiki) if you want me to take a look but if it is the refresh rate switching then you would need to figure out the settings you have that is making that happen. 

Thanks for all the help here is the debug log

Hey guys, I'm after some help if possible.

Firstly massively grateful to mike for the commitment to the silvo mod, it's still in my opinion the best skin for Kodi by far and after recently updating Kodi and getting the most recent mod it's nice to have so many new features!

I used to have the logo view set up across the whole of Kodi - in Movies, TV Shows and with some help from Mike and others a few years ago I managed to get it to display my consoles and games through advanced launcher. After updating I thought it would be a simple case of moving some lines from the old xml files to the new to get this set up again. I've since realised that the xml files appear slightly different to the old ones (Helix I think) so not sure what I need to do to get the Logo view visible in advanced launcher. 

Can anyone help out with this please? I'd massively appreciate any help at all!

The link to the xml files with some alterations in is below. Not sure what I need to amend but as it stands the Logo button isn't listed in advanced launcher at all.

According to your log you have lied to me

First thing is that you have banned add-ons (wiki) installed.

Second thing is that you are using a modified skin:

Code:

load skin from: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/skin.aeon.nox.silvo (version: 9.1.10)

Lastly according to the file stream details it is not the stock video:

The link to the xml files with some alterations in is below. Not sure what I need to amend but as it stands the Logo button isn't listed in advanced launcher at all.

In the custom_1130_Views.xml you have the old syntax.
Substring should be String.Contains:

Code:

<item>
    <label>Logo</label>
    <onclick>Container.SetViewMode(59)</onclick>
    <visible>[String.Contains(Container.FolderPath,plugin.program.advanced.launcher)] + !Skin.HasSetting(Disable.LogoView)</visible>
</item>

It also looks like you have Substring in some of the other files.

I suggest to open each modified file and Search/Replace Substring with String.Contains.

Didn't check all files but you also have IsEmpty instead of String.IsEmpty in some of the visibles in View_59_Logo.xml.

This may/may not be a skin changeable option.

When playing a radio station the 'Pause' and 'Stop' OSD controls are transposed, compared to other media, Movie, TV Show, Local Music Video. See screenshot

Any chance of making Radio OSD pause and stop, positions consistent with other media?

Hmmm... Never noticed.

Sure, will change it on Github now.

Thanks Mike. Did a find and replace in the xml files with your suggestions and all works seemlessly again! Cheers mate

Thank you. I like it without the floor.png.

One further question: How can I add opacity to the Video OSD bottom bar, where the time and duration is, like the opacity for the video and audio information at the top?
I dont like black 100%, so there should be opacity. There is no option in the skin settings to change the opacity of the Video OSD bottom bar.
See this screenshot:

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

You would need to add either a colordiffuse attribute altering the alpha to all the relevant texture tags or a group with a fade animation to all the controls of that bar in DialogSeekBar.xml.
