but it uses the middle of the pic and cuts off heads alot of the time.
Another thing:
Would it be possible to include a media info viewtype in music?
Because there is no viewtype where one can see album artwork and description.
Kodi offers us only three options for handling images, and that's to stretch, keep, and scale, based on the image aspect ratio and the defined image dimensions. For most view-types I've opted for scale, since stretching never really works out for anything above 50 pixels or so, and keep can often leave uncomfortable margins, similar to this case, if it would have been the setting of choice. In many cases, a proper, fully-working behaviour would require coding in a new view. Like in this one, since there isn't any sort of auto-wrap function for the frames around the images, I'd be forced to add a separate layout for square images, lengthen the list accordingly - but that's practically the layout of another view already within the skin. Sadly, the scale option always scales from the center, which cuts off heads...
Most of these extra views I've adapted for use in music and videos, I was content to have basically working. This interim condition, I'd hoped, would foster the community response which would distill things that needed improvement. All that, over time, would bring polish to the rough-and-tumble condition of many areas of the skin. As far as adding-in the info-based views, I'll certainly try it out, it should be a matter of simply adjusting some variables and includes. As always, I remain open for all suggestions.
BTW, is the OSD toggle on i working properly in the new version? In my (very short) testing it seemed a bit dodgy?
