1. Thanks, that would be great. I agree there are a lot of settings but I have seen skins with a lot, lot more & it's always good to be able please more of the people more of the time
2. I don't think I'm explaining it very well. I understand there are slightly different ratios of posters that can be downloaded which makes your life a nightmare & the skin look iffy at times, my issue is that all the posters throughout the skin should be the exact same ratio & I don't see a reason why they are not but I'm not a skinner. If you look closely & compare top & bottom at the Suicide Squad posters above, both screenshots from your skin & the same poster, one is cropped off & the other is not. Surely the one in the poster shift view can be the same ratio as the one in the movie info screen? Or is this a Krypton issue as it didn't use to happen in the in the previous mod of the skin.
3. Yes, that's all I have seen so far but haven't gone through every movie. I'll have a play & see if I can see a pattern.
4. I haven't changed any default behaviour as far as I know. My setting has always been to show movie info when clicking on a movie poster & not to play it. But when doing that on a widget poster it has always just played the file straight away or brought up the resume/play from start sub menu. I noticed today that if I select & hold the OK button it will bring up the resume sub menu but if I just click it will bring up movie info (with a very pale background) over the top of widget menu & looks a horrible mess. Unfortunately when I try to take a screenshot the movie info page vanishes instantly & I'm just left with the widgets page captured.
Thanks for all your help & great work.
EDIT: To add to 3. above, I have just been going through the movies & found a pattern.
If there is no UK rating on the movie info page then there is no rating icon at the bottom of screen.
If the UK rating is either Rated, Rated U, Rated 12, Rated 12A, Rated 15 or Rated 18 then the rating at the bottom is R
If the UK Rating is Rated PG then the rating at the bottom is PG
Hope this helps diagnose the problem.
1. I honestly don't mind the settings, but I'm simply running out of logical, well thought-out places to put them...
2. Well, the simple answer would be that it depends on the way the image dimensions are given in the skin, i.e, it's not the same if you define all four sides, as opposed to defining the height only, and then using a percentile, or parameter, etc. Some of the differences might stem from that, as not all of these methods are ideal to use in all views and setups. Now, I haven't really delved into the dimensions of the posters myself, but I'd venture a guess that some were simply accidental picks, or modified to fit better within a view type's overall design. The difference you noticed is definitely due to different poster dimensions. I'd say that they were made so because of the overall list flow and the border frames and that the video info simply had the more appropriate dimensions for your poster from the get-go. It might be that they could be a reverse case, with the poster being cut off in the info screen and not in the view. As the original skin always almost always preferred to stretch, it was of no consequence. Anyways, long story short, I'll look into the posters and see if I can't make them more consistent with anything resembling a Kodi standard to minimise scaling.
3. I think I know why this happens, and it should be fixed in the next update.
4. I believe a single click is counted as select. I think there might have been some change in Krypton settings. Try going to Skin Settings /Library /Video, there's a setting called "Default select action". That should determine the library single click action.
