Currently running Omega Beta 1 and latest branch from a few days ago.  2 things not working for me.    

1.  Favorites are not working.  If it matters I use a path sub to my NAS.  Works ok on default skin though. 

2.  In progress Movies seems to be broken  

Keep up the good work.  Thanks..

Gonna need more information on "Favorites are not working". Like what exactly isn't working and if you have updated the Main Menu to use the new Favourites window and not the old Dialog that was removed. The favourites dialog option will be removed from the Main Menu customizer but I do not think Skin Shortcuts will delete the now invalid path. Just update your favourites menu item to be the first option and not the second one that says dialog.

As for the in-progress movies being broken. Check your change action option and see if its correctly pointing where you want it to. I think some old skin playlists were renamed and I forgot that I did that.

Don't mean to nitpick the best skin imo but here's a few:

(1) Skin settings/Main menu/Setup the Aeon Nox main menu
&
Skin settings/Customization/Setup the Aeon Nox main menu

are the same thing.  Should this setting be listed twice?

(2) Does tv show next aired work for you?  I have it installed and Skin settings/Extras/Enable Next Aired information in the videolibrary is enabled.  When I go to Skin settings/Main menu/Setup the Aeon Nox main menu and select TV SHOWS (a main menu item) in the left column, then to Select Widget 1/Select Widget/Add-ons/Program add-ons/TV Show Next-aired... the 'EDIT TITLE' virtual keyboard is presented.  Doesn't matter what is typed.  Next the 'Select widget' window is presented again.  In other words, nothing happens.  No widget appears on the main menu.  Somehow I linked a shortcut to it in my TV SHOW submenu.  Clicking it does nothing.

(3) In the movie library, select Information and scroll down to actors pictures. Select one and choose Online information from TMDB.  Scroll down to Image Gallery and select a picture.  A fullscreen window appears with nothing but the enlarged picture.  There are two problems here.  1st, the picture does some weird panning and refreshes it itself rendering a black screen after a few seconds and repeats the process.  I don't notice this every time... just sometimes and I don't know the conditions.  Imo, it should be static.  2nd, many moons ago you could select the next picture of the actor by pressing the left or right direction arrow keys but they don't do anything anymore. 

(4) Select Information for a movie title.  Scroll up to the PATH:.  The path can be long and there is not enough text room to display it fully so I have to select it.  The path is not overlayed in text anymore such as Filename: is.  Instead, a new window opens with a blank poster, a fanart, and a couple of stats - sort of like if you selected a Movie set and landed on one of the titles except it isn't anyway near as feature rich.  Nothing about the path either.

(5) In the movies library, lower left are the ratings icons with values.  Some of them display the TMDB rating icon.  This same (I THINK) value is already displayed above the synopsis in text along with the number of votes.  So, the TMDB icon/value in the lower left is sort of worthless.  Upon further examination, the rating/value/votes above the synopsis is different than the TMDB icon/value in the lower left of the bottom bar.  What setting determines who is rating the rating/value/votes above the synopsis because now I'm not sure if that's TMDB?  Perhaps I'm using a conflicting setting somewhere...

Also, only some titles display this TMDB icon on the lower left next to the Popcorn hour audience icon/value for example.  Other titles have no TMDB icon at all.  Instead, they display the Tomato critics icon/value and a Popcorn audience icon/value for example.  Still, other titles display even more different icons/values and combinations but are always limited to only two in the bottom bar on the lower left.  It all appears sort of messy.  I think all the ratings should appear.  If some of them don't offer a rating for a particular title, then they simply shouldn't appear.  It just seems random what displays and what doesn't.   

Why is it titles display erratic choices of who rates what?  Can more than two ratings display by making them smaller and cramming them together... one on top of the other or closer together for example?  Personally, choosing to eliminate STUDIO icons/text as a settings choice preference could create more room also.  The value text next to the rating icon doesn't need to be so large and maybe that could accommodate more room.  Also, eliminate TMDB since it's already above the synopsis (I THINK) and shows more value (votes and percent) than the icon/rating in the lower left which only shows percent.

Fwiw, I'm using the MyFlix view.  I hope you can duplicate my words without a bunch of screenshots.

1) That has been there just for ease of access. Setup main menu in both the main menu section as well as in customization kinda makes sense to me 🤷

2) If you mean script.tv.show.next.aired then I have no idea. The skin has used TMDb Helper to display that info in the library for awhile now.

3) I'll have to look into this and see what I can do. TMDb Helper opens slideshow.xml so panning might be related to the Kodi picture settings and I didn't notice it till you mentioned it but I would also like it to scroll on left/right

4) That is one of the few items in the details panel that do something else other than make it larger for easier reading. It opens the actual path to the movie so it should show whatever is in the folder and label2 should be showing the full path.



5) This is all dependent on what info is in your DB as well as your scraper settings. It falls back to online fetching using TMDb Helper if Rotten Tomatoes are not scraped (using OMDb key in a scraper) and/or supplied by NFO... I scrape IMDb ratings and assume that is, on average, more preferred than TMDb so that is my main rating not in the media flag area. For the mediaflag area, DB info will first show Rotten Tomatoes Critic/Audience percentage followed by Metacritic and for the online fetching it starts the same with Rotten Tomatoes (if OMDb key is in the TMDB Helper settings) but then goes to TMDb, Trakt, and lastly IMDb. My workflow when adding a new movie to my library is to run script.metadata.editor and update the ratings using my OMDb key in the editor script settings. If the item doesn't have info for that in OMDb it will not populate so I then go to the RT website and enter it all manually. As for the two ratings... For now, that is the amount of space I plan on using. I don't like seeing every rating imaginable and think 3 (depending on main scraped rating) is decent enough.

Just some overlapping text when viewing items not in the library. Maybe the path text should be a size smaller...


Would you implement Chapter Marks, or do you think it clutters up the progress bar...

Any idea what Container() content Kodi thinks that is? I place the Custom_Debug_Overlay.xml, located in the skins extras folder, into the 16x9 folder and add

xml:
<F7>Skin.ToggleSetting(DebugInfo)</F7>

to my keymap.xml to toggle it on/off
It is the fourth one down and could be empty.

Or the best way for me to open that screen exactly like you did?

I don't think that looks too cluttered but I'll put them on the bottom and maybe add an option to turn it on/off in the skin if Kodi doesn't have a setting for that...
