My reaction may have been a bit different and I may have been tempted to take matters in my own hands, but after reading the license (CC by-nc-nd 4.0) of the skin there is basically nothing I can do as it would forbid me to share any changes to the public. And I have zero interest whatsoever maintaining a private repo just for myself that noone else can benefit from..

[bberger]

Okay, I did take a deep breath now and want to apologize, I was definitely a bit too harsh, sorry about that.

I at least do see the (ended) Info now in the view, not sure why I couldn't see it before..

I also need to dive into the Kodi API this weekend, maybe I can think of another solution to get that info in there without having to go down that route the skin author dislikes. Probably we could get the tvshownextaored plugin to wrote that info directly into the Kodi Series DB as metadata...?

There is lots of data displayed for the shows already like "last updated", rotten 🍅/imdb ratings, age restriction ratings, calculated end times, codec infos, the list goes on and on an on.

Right now I don't understand why fetching the next air date of a show is so much more resource intensive than fetching tvshow ratings for example..? I suspect they get chached somewhere rather than being fetched every single time a user scrolls to the next show. Why can't be the same logic be applied to next aired dates?

As I said earlier, I'm more than willing to help, but without a chance for it to get merged back into upstream I can't get my motivation up to invest time into digging into the API.. the restrictive license doesn't help as I don't want to set up a private repo (it actually prohibits from making pull requests publicly...).

PS:
I'm also not sure if the CC nc nd 4.0 is even legal to use tbh as Kodi is licensed under GPLv2 and imho incompatible with the aforementioned license. Not straight sure about the v2, but the v3 makes any published, derived work (like plugins/addons) GPLv3 implicitly..

(I personally couldn't care less, but it may be something the author would like to investigate for himself. Just thought of that as I had come across a project that released their software under the GPLv3 and accepted pull requests and are now in a tight spot getting out of it without a CLA from some of the contributors while they can't even release plugins/addons under MIT as they are considered derived work and therefore GPLv3 implicitly...)

[sualfred]

It is legal and agreed by Team Kodi. And sorry, I don't have time for any user interaction like this. It's up to me if I want something here and there. And if someone is already "exploding" because I don't agree to something and then he starts to claim about a license etc. That's not how convincing works.

Since you said you are a dev and if you really want to contribute:
The script itself is Py2 and not updated since years. It won't be available in Kodi Matrix if it's not going to be ported to Py3.

Edit:
And if you will port it you can think about the plugin paths for dynmaic containers that shedrock is looking for. This is feature is not available yet.

[haicaoboi87]

im just a normal Kodi user but i have something to say :
this skin (and almost other skin) is open source so its NEVER have toxic code, so i dont care much more about the legal of this skin
this is one of a few skin that i think its best : rich-features, good-looking and i feel happy when use this skin :3

[bberger]

@sualfred wasn't my best day yesterday and my attitude was way off. Again, I'm sorry. My mention of the license stuff came across wrong, didn't want to start a discussion about this. Was meant as a friendly hint, not an attack.

I also was/am past convincing, because as you said it is absolutely your own right what you want to do with your time and your project. Just wanted to understand the reasoning behind it, so someone could do something about it.

I'll look into the nextaired script when I get some time. Thanks for pointing that out and it's clear why it would need to be dropped.

Embuary skin

The skin is mainly targeted to Emby users (like me), who likes the simplicity of the WebGUI interface of Emby.

Demonstration videoScreenshots

watch gallery

Special features

• Fully integrated automatically detection of Emby nodes and multiple library setups
  
• Complete native integration of EmbyCon
  

Supported Kodi versions

• Krypton (discontinued, but still available at my and the Emby repo)
  
• Leia
  

Will there be a Kodi 19 Matrix version?
Yes, but Kodi 19 won't be supported until the very last Alpha stages. So don't expect a supported version in the next 12 months.
Matrix is going to have a big overhaul that will affect all addons and especially the ones that Embuary requires. Nearly everything is going to break and some of them are already broken. Dependencies have to be reworked by the devs and some of them even have to find new maintainers because they won't be actively maintained by someone since months. 
Leia already took a longer timer until it was released. Longer as usual. And I think Matrix also will need this amount of time until everything is ready. 


Where to get it?

The most recent version is always available on my personal and the Emby repo.

• My repo -> Download installable zip
  
• Official Emby beta repo -> Download installable zip

Hi there I would like to use the Emby Skin on my rasberry pi running OSMC. however i like the layout of it as it is similar to the plex layout. is there a stripped down version of this skin ie with the emy fucntionality removed so i can just use it as a normal skin and etc

[Nyctobello]

So, here's a weird issue that just started today:
All the video thumbnails on the YouTube addon are displaying the whichever YouTube channel logo as opposed to the video thumbnail itself. It seems that under list view the thumbnails are correct but under wide view the thumbnails aren't there. Is this just me?

Am using: latest stable Kodi 64 on Windows 10 and Embuary skin.

Edit: not "wife view", but wide view; apologies for that Freudian slip.

[sualfred]

@YamYam 
The skin works on any kind of Kodi setup. No matter if Emby, Plex, Jellyfin or without those backends. The Emby parts just don't kick in if Emby is not present. But I don't think the skin works very well on a RPi.

@Nyctobello 
Oops. Thanks.

[Castilho]

Hello skin works 95% on a Raspberry pi 3, if it is only used for kodi I believe it reaches 100%.
I currently use an RPI 3 with (Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, Rclone) and it is satisfactory.

[mrmrfuller]

Wow great skin.

For some reason i don't see any artwork in any folder when browsing the recordings similar like what is shown in the demonstration video.

Any suggestions? Have i missed a setting or requirement?

Thanks.

[sualfred]

It has to be supported by the PVR backend and there must be a EPG thumbnail available.

Hi sualfred.

Thanks for the reply.

I am using tvheadend for the backend PVR and my EPG has some thumbnails available.

Thumbnails only appear when browsing the guide data, however no artwork at all when viewing the recorded tv shows. This is includes no artwork for each recorded tv folder or when browsing episodes within the folder.

[sualfred]

That's all I can say. As far as I know TVH has to be at least version 4.3
