I've had to return to v18.1.8 after I installed 18.1.9 alpha. The main reason is because of the changes to viewtype 525 and its effect on the youtube plugin. What I really liked about that view when viewing youtube videos in kodi is the ability to have the currently playing video in the window/spotlight area while scrolling through other youtube videos in my subscriptions and adding them to the playlist queue. It's very convenient. The now playing video in the background also used to be available in "landscape single row" view, but that has also been removed a couple versions ago in favor of an upper left corner small view. However, my preference would be to use viewtype 525. In 18.1.9 alpha, once a video is highlighted/selected(not played) the background video stops. I assume this was done on purpose or per request? Is there a chance you could bring back the 525 behavior of 18.1.8 or at least an option for it to behave that way? Also, while watching a video fullscreen, clicking the tab key to get back to the subscription list instead shows the background image and color diffuse. That part is a bug.

Thank you for working on this skin. It takes Kodi's UI to a different level.

I need to take a look.

a) The spotlight area window, should always used if a video is playing.

b) 525 (and others) shouldnt have an currently playing video window in upper left, beside that it should just show up if a video has an database entry)

c) The last mentioned bug is actualy fixed and ready for next release.

"once a video is highlighted/selected(not played) the background video stops" - 525 is the only wich didnt stop, but i will change the stop behaviour, to "stop just if autoplay traiier or trailer playback is active" for all views

Im a bit confused by the "single row" issue, need to take a look.
