Since i play a lot of music with KODI, a few questions
(maybe i just overlooked a setting regarding those):
Is it possible to display music rating in list view as well as music playlist view?
Is it possible to display artist logi in music visualisation?
Is it possible to hide the cd case?
Welcome, glad you're liking the skin!
The user ratings should be available in both the playlist and the library usage. Currently, they are a native part of the List-based views, but I'm planning an update to add user ratings underneath the clock when browsing the library in other views. I was also thinking of replacing the 10-stars with the 5 stars from the video library. Originally, I was all for being genuine and having 10 stars to actually reflect the new rating system, but placing them all was impossible, hence the two-row solution. Now I'm thinking it might be overwhelming to look at, if you are a user who rates all your tracks.
I don't really use the music features of Kodi, just can't separate myself from my foobar and the endless hours that I'd sunk in tweaking the skins and playlists... xD Anyways, I'm completely open for any ideas and suggestions on how to improve this section.
The logos are displayed in both the OSD and the library (middle-top region, like the video items), if properly set up. Basically, your structure must match this logic: X:/Music/Artist/Album/. Within the Artist folder you place the fanart, artist slideshow fanart, and logo.png. Within the Album folder you place the DiscArt (disc.png or cdart.png) and album art (folder.jpg) if not embedded. Then, you lead the skin to the root of the structure, in the given example that's X:/Music/. The settings are located in the Display items settings category. It shouldn't matter if the artwork is placed together with the tracks, only that the structure is valid so it can be properly matched. If you've got it right, it should show immediately.
At the moment, neither the CD case nor the spinning disc are hideable, since that would require a redesign of the whole interface. There is a setting somewhat unfortunately named "Hide playback infos" which hides the whole interface and leaves you with just the visualisation. There are some other minor tweaks which you can find in the Music OSD category, it's worth a look. Especially manfeed's lyrics.
