Hi "axbmcuser".
I appreciate your information.
I reinstalled again the KODI 17.
I note that the "AXBMCUSER REPO have version 1.1.3.
The Confluence Zeitgeist has the 3.0.45 version.
However, when choose this theme, the KODI blocks immediately. And does not apply the chosen theme.
It is very complicated.
I'll leave the Confluence Zeitgeist, I like both.
Thank you, very much.

3.0.47 (2016-08-17)
- [DialogVideoInfo.xml] New button: "Set" (Example: If a movie is part of a movie set, you can jump right into the set via this button. It's positioned to the right of the "Director" button and only visible, if the item is part of a set.)
- [VideoOSD.xml] Added permanent default focus for OSD play controls for LiveTV content (Non-LiveTV content defaulted to pause button already. Now LiveTV content defaults to channel down button)

I am very happy with your skin and use the Jarvis skin. Is it possible that I can easy change the view option to only list, so I remove the other options from the skin?
I got this now in MyVideonav.xml:
<defaultcontrol always="true">50</defaultcontrol>
<menucontrol>9000</menucontrol>
<views>50,51,901,500,550,909,908,551,560,501,508,504,503,515,505,511</views>
When I delete <views>50,51,901,500,550,909,908,551,560,501,508,504,503,515,505,511</views> do I then only got the 50 listview what I like to have?

Hey... Besides the fact that it's a very non skin specific general question which others could benefit from or may be already covered in the wiki - i don't think that will work.
You could try to remove the <include>-lines which include the different views - every one but the one which is the actual list view (CommonRootView).
Should be line 38 to 69. Try to remove these lines. Backup, as always.

Besides all the KODI 17 skin updates in the past weeks, i'm happy to announce that there is now a KODI 16 (Jarvis) backport of the latest skin version.
Not all changes are included due to obvious reasons, but very very many including:
- all new VideoOSD and other reworked graphics
- the optional improved floor removal option.
- Video chapters/bookmarks are reworked to some kind of timeline-style (very useful imho)
- visual changes regarding too bulky fonts, visually improved shutdown menu and more
2.8.86 (2016-08-25)
- Now for KODI 16: Partial backport of latest skin version (which is only available on KODI 17). Many small to medium changes!
Please let me know if everything is okay on KODI 16.

Hey, I like this skin! It's really a nice enhancement of Confluence. Thanks for coming up with this.
The only requests I have are in the Favourites selection/folder all my favorites are stacked, two per line, all the way down (I have 56). It would be nice to see them populate the whole screen. Also, I would like to see the fonts a bit larger and the thumbnails as well (my wife can barely each of our favorites).
Best regards,
Bob

Hey Sérgio. Thanks for the well written feedback!
I already thought about an INFO-button in VideoOSD - but as i found no easy way to shortcut to the Video Information Dialog, it's only in my head for now. I will re-check the possibilites.
What about the repeat and shuffle button in VideoOSD? Can you describe, why you think it's needed? I think most people maybe would benefit more of a Playlist button in the VideoOSD, since they don't use the repeat or shuffle function while playing videos because they simply watch 1 movie or multiple tv show episodes in a row. Do you mix up video playlists?

Thanks for your feedback!
I watch a lot of tv show episodes and cartoons at night, when I go to sleep, and I usually put them in random order so I can have a mixed content displaying... and I have to go through lots of steps just to find shuffle and repeat (in estuary it's even worse...). And I also like to watch series in regular order, so I use these buttons a lot... But again, it's just a feature I use a lot, and it's not something ultimately important. The skin works really great.
Again, thank you for your fast feedback!
EDIT:
Maybe a settings option to enable/disable these "shuffle" and "repeat" buttons in Video OSD could be a nice add to this Skin...
