Scott,
I really hope you can help me out... I used to try switching to MQ7 for a while (on Krypton), but due to a lot of "stuff" happening around the Krypton MQ7 mods, and also me getting abysmal performance
on that skin due to all the bundled addons, I switched back to your Krypton Mod of MQ5 (after having used it on Jarvis and even before) and it is a godsend to be back - performance quadrupled, if not more.
So, everything is fine and dandy... but I have a peculiar and very specific issue with your MQ5 mod, that does NOT happen with Estuary on the Krypton Final.
I'm using Windows 10 as base, and every time when I "stop" a movie playing in 3D (H-OU, H-SBS, different video formats), Kodi crashes. I reproduced this with half a dozen files now, without fail, so I presume this is a general behaviour.
Does not happen with 2D Movies, does not happen with streams within Addons, but only with movies playing in Kodi 3D mode - I presume there is a bug somewhere in the handling of switching back from 3D to 2D interface, and I'm pretty sure you don't use a 3D TV so never tried out this specific feature...
I checked the log, but it seems kodi crashes even before something "wrong" can be written there.
Any idea what to check? If you need more info, I will provide what you need.

I've made the experience with Kodi, that you should never mix, upgrade or do too much configuration stuff.
I upgraded from Jarvis to Krypton, used the same config. Everything seemed to be fine, only my remote stopped working. Nothing to see in the Logs. Spend a lot of time in investigating the problem. Due to a system update with a new kernel and some new driver versions I focused my investigations to the OS stuff.
After some days searching without any noticeable result I started with a completely fresh Kodi environment. And my remote returned working normally. Those problems I notice with every bigger Kodi update.
For that reason I have several Kodi configuration folders with different states, where I can go back easily. And additionally I use Git inside the Kodi folders to monitor the changes done.

A new release 9.2.3 is available. Links and install tips are on the first post. There is also a new version of my repo (9.2.0).
I am working on a 1080 version of the skin. This will be a new version (probably 9.3.n). Note that Aeon MQ image collections for MQ6 or MQ7, including "themes" should work in MQ5 Kryptonmod. Just install them from the Brazil forum links (or any other location) and select them in skin settings. MQ5 Kryptonmod does not use skin.helper.service. That would make skinning a little easier but I think it has some performance costs. If you are having problems with skin.helper.service throwing exceptions or the like you might want to give MQ5 kryptonmod a spin. It doesn't have all the movie/tv show bells and whistles / widgets but might have a lighter performance footprint for you.

Hello. First off let me say I love this skin, as it has allowed me to upgrade to Krypton but keep the skin that made me fall in love with XBMC in the first place.
So, my question is: Is there a way to update the media flags for DTS:X and Dolby Atmos?

Thanks. I haven't done any work on the Krypton version for a long time. I have put all my time into Leia, partly because I am interested in the music library function of Kodi and Kodi 18 (Leia) has many great improvements for music. I've also done a lot of work with the "massive font" option that I like to use on my HTPC Kodi client. Originally "massive font" was a quick-and-dirty way to get bigger text, but the MQ series of skins was pretty much designed for the desktop font, and using "massive font" resulted in text crowding and truncating. I'm trying to make "massive font" look better without reducing the amount of info that is displayed.

Is there a specific version of extended info script that works with this mod. I can't get the info for movie sets or cd art for movie sets to show with this version of the skin
