Is that not working for either of you?

You are correct. When entering a TV Show or Movie library, it begins with titles that start with a number (#). Once all #'s have been cycled through... one by one, and you're focused on the first title that begins with 'A', the next direction arrow press navigates to 'B', the next press navigates to 'C' titles and so on.

That said, I never use this feature. I've always used a keymap which navigates letters bound to the numbers on my remote control. Each number represents 3 letters of the alphabet. A subsequent number press cycles each of those 3 numbers.

Code:
<keymap>

   <global>

     <keyboard>

      <one mod="ctrl,shift">PlayerControl(ShowVideoMenu)</one>

      <two>JumpSMS2</two> 

      <three>JumpSMS3</three> 

      <four>JumpSMS4</four> 

      <five>JumpSMS5</five> 

      <six>JumpSMS6</six> 

      <seven>JumpSMS7</seven> 

      <eight>JumpSMS8</eight> 

      <nine>JumpSMS9</nine>

     </keyboard>

   </global>

   <FullscreenVideo>

     <keyboard>

      <up>PlayerControl(FrameAdvance(1))</up>

      <u>AudioNextLanguage</u>

      <key id="61499">runaddon(script.wadeysay)</key>

      <key id="61506">subtitledelay</key>

     </keyboard>

   </FullscreenVideo>

</keymap>

On a side note, I see you are getting rid of Embuary Helper. Afaik, even not being maintained, I have no problems with this. What does have problems, often with pop-ups, is Embuary Info.

Lastly, a new little bug (not sure if it's only MyFlix) since your last update:
Info window/Cast. Select an actor/Online information from TMDB. Navigate to Image Gallery. Focus on the actors screenshots. As you cycle the screenshots, they do not change the larger screenshot on the left grid. It remains static only displaying the first screenshot listing. But, selecting a screenshot, it goes fullscreen and does cycle through all the images as it should.

Lastly, is there any way to add 'Tags:' above the synopsis, below the logo? Or, replace the 'tagline' (Retribution is coming) with 'Tags:' instead? Personally, and maybe others using advanced features like tags, would benefit by seeing it/them when navigating the library.

One more thing... sorry Tongue

I thought I'd beg again.
Please consider adding

Code:
Prefer animated.gif when present or prefer animatedposter and animatedfanart when present

I'd be eternally grateful and probably others that use the heck out of em'... I think offering this feature would amplify how diverse this skin is and can be.

That's not likely. The entire view is based on left-aligned information, and centering that would require an entire view redesign. Centered posters with a similar look to MyFlix is much closer to using ShowCase with the flatten setting enabled than an entire MyFlix redesign.

I do have a question regarding how to set up the menu on that skin.
I do have a seedbox, which I have added to the file manager as an FTP.
Is it possible to add an entry to the main menu that would point to this "folder" ?
I didn't find any way to do this.
Best I can do is add the file manager as an entry to the menu, and then when I'm in the file manager I have to click on the FTP source.
I'd like to have an entry on the main menu that points directly to the FTP source.
Is it possible ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

PS: also, adding this mod "officialy" in Aeon Nox would be great !

I'd need a little bit more info on what the path needs to be but I don't think there would be an issue linking to it. I don't know Kodi code tho so this might be a general Kodi question more than a skin related one.

The mod request is a hard no, the mod exists so if that is the look you desire then modifying the skin yourself or using the mod itself are, both, viable options.
A redesign for the fullscreen info screen would be considered but copying another skin is another hard no Eek

I have tested it again, when I am in the letter search in movies, clicking down does not select the next letter but switches to the next movie in the movie list.

For series it works as you described.

That describes it better

Other than a miscommunication with the # (numbered) section, I don't see how this wouldn't work.
Do you have multiple "series" that begin with a number?

If it is the # (numbered) section causing confusion then I can remove it altogether... Huh

Lotta lastly's... Tongue

There should be absolutely zero errors regarding Embuary Info. Nothing in the skin calls it or uses it so not sure how that is an issue. I recommend completely removing it, there is nothing the skin needs it for.

Not changing the poster to the focused image is a bug, still wip on that but I definitely missed re-adding it so will fix, thanks Smile

Tags don't seem to be something most use in the way you have described and not to be the conductor for the negativity train but tags are also not available outside the Video Info screen without using a script

I actually have "prefer gifs" on my to-do list and it's been there for years now. I keep trying different things and I had something mostly working for most views but I need to figure out how to get the delayed aspect of MyFlix and its open case mod to work.

I have been working on it tho... Confused

Fwiw, I use the Next aired widget for TV Shows that are in my library. It alerts me to details about those upcoming shows... mostly displaying when and what is going to air visually for me. When I disable Embuary Info, it doesn't work at all. Years back, I always had Next aired installed but it never displayed anything and I just left it. I even raised the issue here and finally figured out Embuary info had to be installed and active. From that moment on, Next aired has worked perfectly even though I get an Embuary info pop-up error randomly. Thank you for considering the other things I posted and that you have a to-do list.

Is it possible to create smart playlists using this skin? I have not been able to find anywhere to be able to create them. So I am currently switching to Estuary to create a smart playlist and then switching back

Oh, I see. You are using the next aired widget from Embuary Info. There should be a next aired widget from The Movie Db Helper that is similar if not the same. I haven't checked it myself but you should be able to get to it in the Widget Customizer by going to Add-ons > Video Add-ons > TheMovieDbHelper > then maybe TV Shows, Next aired, or something like that.

Wondering if I should re-add the old next aired custom window... Huh

TMDbH has a way of recreating one like the skin used to have back when the TV Show Next Aired script was being maintained.

How do you get to it from Estuary?
Following the same steps should get you the same result.

Swindiff · 2024-09-23, 19:59

Sorry, being an idiot. I had the videos menu disabled in your skin.

**mikeSiLVO** · 2024-09-24, 03:13

You could also add a shortcut to a submenu or as a main menu item if you did not want to keep the Videos item.

Video library > Playlists > Playlists

Thank you for that info. Some minor differences but I've switched to using TMDB Helper now and removed Embuary Info as you suggested Nod

Hey Mike,

Noticed 1 small annoyance when using the skin and Tidal2 addon with CU Lyrics active.
When you activate the lyrics theres transparent dimmed overlay added covering top half of the screen, which combined with the bottom overlay of Test Layout(WIP) leaves a bright streak between the two which really looks out of place.
I tried "remove background" option in CU Lyrics in attempt to at least remove the top overlay but no luck, so i assume this is in your area.
Would it be possible removing the top dimmed overlay, or maybe making it larger so theres no strip in between? Still not sure which would be better as letters might blend in the background on white fanart if its removed, so probably increasing the size towards the bottom?

Heres what im talking about
