What does Transparency's Fanart view look like?

Like this:

watch gallery

I show the three different list options, short/medium/long. I usually go for the medium option.

That is pretty much BigFan view without the list part...

Hello.
Well done !
The information applies to the github version: in views List, RightList, FanartList, LowList, Shift, Posters, MyFlix, TriPanel, Poster, BannerWall, BigFan the "SDR" icon is still visible in the mediaflags line.

Yeah, but the missing list means a very "tiring" navigation through my collection. Unless I am missing something, I expect that from this view I am supposed to move left or right to see a different movie, one movie at a time. The list means having many more movies in sight, at a glance.

This issue occurs when browsing the Kodi library (movies and episodes).

Check out the LowList view, vertical mode is a great replacement for Transparency!

Be aware, if you use a playercorefactory.xml and have assigned an external player for .mp4 videos... and you enable the new 'Startup Intro' (which is an .mp4 video), Kodi will not start.  If you want to check it out like I did, simply remove or rename your playercorefactory.xml before starting Kodi.  That said, nice addition @mikeSiLVO

Does not start or just a black screen?

Black screen.

Black screen.

I hide the homescreen until a property is reset onunload of VideoFullScreen.xml after the intro ends. I'll have to see what I can do for external players...

@brazen1 I added an AlarmClock that should unhide the home menu after 4 seconds but since I do not use an external player I am curious about your experience. Does the selected intro play and when finished do you return to Kodi and everything is OK or does the video not play at all?

Also thinking of renaming the skin. SiLVO is a modified version of a nickname from my younger years.

Naming suggestions are welcome, including, do not mess with the name cause I like this weirdo thing that doesn't mean anything

Hi @mikeSiLVO...

I also vote for keeping the name

Hi @mikeSiLVO

The external player (MPC-BE) opens as it did before your changes.  It fails to load the mp4 with a 'Failed to render video' error by the player.  Waiting over 4 secs the player remains in focus and never closes which is normal for MPC players that couldn't load a video.  Unlike before, I can simply close the player and Kodi is in focus, usable with no problems.  Didn't need to remove the playercorefactory.xml this time fwiw.  I navigated to the mp4 and it plays solo with no problem.  Please don't knock yourself out trying to remedy this.  It works fine using Kodi internal VideoPlayer.  Thank you for the effort just the same. 

As for the skin name change... I doubt there is one user who prefers something else... except maybe yourself.  I think I speak for all us of saying, we wouldn't care what you'd like to change it to if you did.  Personally, I think you've maintained and modified the original enough to call it your own because you've earned it.

I see the poll about removing studios.  I'm for removing the icon(s) simply because that info has never been of much importance to me when surfing my library.  Is removing that/those studio icons to create real estate for something else like additional ratings icon(s)?  Perhaps larger spacing gaps?  What are your intentions if any?
