Is there a way to change the background to fully transparant for the fanart in info mode?
Like the option: hide fanart opacity in fullscreen mode.

The color options:
Background color: none
Background patern: none
Opacity for fanart as background: 100%
Opacity for top and bottom bars: 100%

result in the next screenshot with still some tint on fanart. Compare the background with the artist banner.

Thanks!

It's normal, no opacity changes on music visualisation because if opacity is set to 100%, visualisation is not shown. But I can add opacity for top and bottom bars.

Guilouz any chance section on manga in your build?

Nope, because for mangas, kodi use TV Shows section. If you want to isolate mangas, you must use smart playlists like that :

For TV Shows : TV Shows.xsp

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
    <name>TV Shows</name>
    <match>one</match>
    <rule field="path" operator="startswith">
        <value>smb://NAS/video/TV Shows/</value>
    </rule>
</smartplaylist>

For Mangas : Mangas.xsp

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
    <name>Mangas</name>
    <match>one</match>
    <rule field="path" operator="startswith">
        <value>smb://NAS/video/Mangas/</value>
    </rule>
</smartplaylist>

Put this two files in userdata / playlists / video and you can choose them in personalize home menu.

You can also do the same for widgets.

Exemple for recently added :

For TV Shows : Recent TV Shows.xsp

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
    <name>TV Shows</name>
    <match>all[/php]</match>
    <rule field="path" operator="startswith">
        <value>smb://NAS/video/TV Shows/</value>
    </rule>
        <rule field="dateadded" operator="after">
                <value>1900-01-01</value>
        </rule>
        <order direction="descending">dateadded</order>
</smartplaylist>

For Mangas : Recent Mangas.xsp

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
    <name>Mangas</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="path" operator="startswith">
        <value>smb://NAS/video/Mangas/</value>
    </rule>
        <rule field="dateadded" operator="after">
                <value>1900-01-01</value>
        </rule>
        <order direction="descending">dateadded</order>
</smartplaylist>

Wow thanks for the tip bro!!!

In Shift view, it's clearart on top and clearlogo on list :



If you use streaming addons, it's normal, property of Skin Helper Service not working in container. You must have stored files with database to have them.

Same error here in windows and android tv box!

This view use ClearLogo and ClearArt from Artwork Downloader. Just added a new TV Shows and no problem on OSX and LibreELEC builds.

Hi, it would be nice if fanart is empty on view wall (fanart) it will fall back to poster content to prevent from blank items.

Artwork downloader currently has an issue: the integrated API keys are dead

Make sure to follow instructions about API keys in first post of this thread before reporting any issue with artworks in this mod

[Yorgos]

Mediaflags start to line 704 to 1104. in Includes.xml. Your png files must have 50px for height to keep aspect ratio.

Outstanding! Thanks!

Go to 'API keys' tab and enter your API keys
Ready!!

Go to Kodi 'addons' folder (see : Userdata (wiki))
Go to 'script.artwork.downloader / lib / provider'
With a text editor open, edit and save this files :

Hi,

i noticed that icon for video resolution would not be updated on streaming media inside the videoosd. In my case source is amazon plugin. It usually stays on "3D".

A second thing:

When borders for media are enabled in settings they are shown for movies epsiodes etc. but missing on favourites and live tv.

Can't seem to use advanced launcher folder as a home menu item for games. Anyone had the issue and know of a fix?

Try to run Artwork Downloader to download Artworks. I think your clearlogos on others views come from Skin Helper Service and artworks from it not working in container (that have Shift view).

There is some issue with videoplayer in last kodi builds, like aspect ratio icon.

For borders it's voluntary.

[Gracus]

Best thing is to have local artworks for movies:



Then no more issue...

Ok thx - will have a look on next versions of kodi. Will you add the missing borders ?

PS: The skin is really great with its growing features :-)
