Joking of course. I appreciate what you are doing for the skin and dying waiting for previews/changes. Hope all is well and you have time soon to upload and maybe add the update to skin or even the slide switch so those who want the more lush look can have and others who want haze can keep to. Hope to hear back.

That sounds pretty ace. If you want to fork Lyrebird and push your changes I'm happy to bring them into the fold or if you just wanna dump your XMLs in a zip and have me fetch it, happy to do that too. Full credits given, of course.
If it is something that is viable for the average user, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hey, I created a fork. https://github.com/randallspicher/skin.lyrebird.rmod. I dropped a release for it there as well.
This has the following changes:
1. Update to the PVR guide to display the tv/movie poster icons, instead of the channel icon.
2. A tweak to allow actor-role images (requires static images in a static directory, they simply overlay (replace) the image from the kodi DB when present) I've been trying to make that use a skin property for the path (instead of hard-coding it) but apparently that isn't supported by the <texture> tag. (only ListItem props are parsed or something)
3. I did massive changes to the MyWeather.xml, to add support for my NOAA weather plugin. (I also split each screen out into a separate includes, rather than having one big giant monolithic crapload of XML to deal with in 1 file. I also revamped how it loads the data (to call an include with a parameter so that the data only needs to be defined once, instead of cut/paste the data info 100 times)
Not sure how much of that (if any) you may want to roll into your master. I'm pretty proud of my weather plugin though.
I plan on doing some more changes to the video dialog, for instance, other skins allow you to choose between searching for that actor within your library, or searching (via extendedinfo script) on themovedb.org. I'd like to add that as well. I've also seen other skins replace the show poster with a large version of the actor image when the actor is hilighted.
