Hello Guilouz,

thank you for your fast answer to my Question about my Question with the shortcut
for my "Children Movies"

I dont know what a "Skin Shortcut on git" is.
I´ve downloaded your latest Version of the Estuary Mod skin.
Then i´ve downloaded all plugins which the skin wanted to have.

What do you mean with that "... some windows are removed from kodi...
VideoLibrary, VideoFiles, and so on.... "? Does this mean that this Entrys
you have listet below that sentence, is no longer aviable in Kodi?
How does Kodi work then? Is that all now plugins?

You Said "If your shortcut is like that : 'ActivateWindow(Video.......', it's normal it's not working."

My Plugin is

ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,special://profile/addon_data/script.skinshortcuts/4.xsp,return)

Why doesnt work that and how can i do that now?

On Kodi Jarvis with the Metropolis skin i could easily set my shortcut to my "Children folder" on my
Nas and another to my Dokumentation Folder another to the Movies for adults and so on.

That was really great.

Thank you for your answer and sorry for my "bad english" i dont use it very often
and sorry for my noob questions but im new in Kodi and Raspberry.

Greetings

You must have the latest version of Skin Shortcuts on github.

No problem with VideoLibrary. Open your file special://profile/addon_data/script.skinshortcuts/4.xsp, with text editor and check if info are correct.

AAAh found the button "quote" that make anything easier :-P

I have installed the latest version of Skin Shortcuts on github and then I looked in my skinshortcuts.

Its on Rasperry so i get in ...Userdata\addon_data\script.skinshortcuts - Ive Cleared all inside and refreshed the list in kodi.

Now there is no 4.xsp only a 1.xsp

Ive Made a Screenshot

I want to show my Movies like the original Movie-Shortcut.
I dont want Kodi to show all Movies on my Harddisk but only the
Movies inside the Folder for the Childrens Movies.

The System looks like that:

Router (asus rt-ac68u) with NAS-function
External Harddisk on Router with Name Media1_4TB
Path on Harddisk Kinder\Filme\ (Kinder=Children)

On Raspberry I set a source to that with FTP
192.168.1.1:21

When i look inside the 1.xsp it seems that the Path is correct
but on Kodi I dont get there. On click nothing happens.

Do I have to set something in the Skin Shortcuts ?
I have only installed it on my Raspberry 3

Greetings and good luck today on Football

Wow last lot of changes have ruined this skin, back to the original for me.

Why have you remove the scroll loop on the main menu, its a bad idea.

[Guilouz]

I've been doing that from last week but nothing happens. I thought I was doing something wrong.

I just tested myself and for me this skin widget also not work ....

Thanks for testing and confirming

Yes I will see what can I do. None have no effect.

Hi Guilouz,

In Version 1.3.4 I have following effect:

In Home Menu, TV Series Skin Helper Widget "Next Episodes" as well as "recently added Episode" show Year as 1969 in Top Info Bar for all TV Series

Random Episode get the Year correct.

Skin Issue or problem with my Data?

Edit: 1969 is the Year the oldest episode in my library first aired

No problem for me. I have correct year.

Hi Guilouz, if i add a shortcut under addons, every shortcut appear twice. Like, a shortcut to "video-addons", this shortcut appear twice.

known issue. See http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2370698

Just try, no problem for me :



What is the name of your addons item of home menu ? 'Addons' ?

What do you mean ?

Idea:

When playing a movie, if you want to see the cast and select an actor, it takes you to extendedinfo but the movie keeps playing. Maybe you can force it to pause while reading about the actor and then come back to the movie?

Enable it in skin settings.

No no possibility to change duration.

I guess the likelihood is low, but let me still ask. Any plans to port the MOD to Estouchy? This MOD brings all the functionality that is needed to make this skin great!

Any hope that this MOD may get ported to Estouchy?

No, I do not plan to do this.

Hi Guilouz,

have you implemented any special TVTunes Override Methods in your mod (i.e. Window Property "TVTunesSupported" set)?

TVTunes depends on Windows (i.e VideoLibrary et.v) Visibility to decide if a theme is to be played or not.

With removing some Windows from Kodi, TVTunes is broken and the developer is not yet willing to check / support Krypton.

BUT

TVTunes allows to override certain Windows by Skinner to tell TVTunes, that currently e.g. the Video Library is visible

Code:

Example from TVTunes settings.py

################################################################
# Class to make it easier to see which screen is being displayed
################################################################
class WindowShowing():
    @staticmethod
    def isHome():
        return xbmc.getCondVisibility("Window.IsVisible(home)")

    @staticmethod
    def isVideoLibrary():
        return xbmc.getCondVisibility("Window.IsVisible(videolibrary)") or WindowShowing.isTvTunesOverrideTvShows() or WindowShowing.isTvTunesOverrideMovie() or WindowShowing.isTvTunesOverrideContinuePlaying()

@staticmethod
    def isTvTunesOverrideTvShows():
        isOverride = False
        try:
            # If there is a problem with a skin where there is no current window Id, avoid the exception
            win = xbmcgui.Window(xbmcgui.getCurrentWindowId())
            if win.getProperty("TvTunesSupported").lower() == "tvshows":
                isOverride = True
        except:
            isOverride = False

        return isOverride

    @staticmethod
    def isTvTunesOverrideMovie():
        isOverride = False
        try:
            # If there is a problem with a skin where there is no current window Id, avoid the exception
            win = xbmcgui.Window(xbmcgui.getCurrentWindowId())
            if win.getProperty("TvTunesSupported").lower() == "movies":
                isOverride = True
        except:
            isOverride = False

        return isOverride

As far as I understand the above:
xbmc.getCondVisibility("Window.IsVisible(videolibrary)") <- Is not working anymore as the Window VideoLibrary has been removed.

If a Window has a property TvTunesSupported = tvshows / movies (there are more
and has a window ID, TVTunes will start playing.

Is TVTunes anything you are familiar with? Do you want to support it in your Mod?

Before I start checking debugging TVTunes Script to allow the new VideoLibrary window I'd like to know

Thanks for reply

Enable it in skin settings.

No no possibility to change duration.

This is the correct settings?


Regarding the slideshow it's way too fast can't you at least default it to about 7-10 seconds.

Thanks

No it's the first setting.

I had the first setting and it still did not work
