I can not make a decision

EDIT: I think I like the lower one a little better
Although: the upper one is also cool

Okay
To tell the truth it's a mockup
in my opinion you are better qualified than me for these things

EDIT : IMHO I prefer the first one

EDIT 2 : perhaps a middle way between each

No problem, i have created an feature req on github. I think, that is definitely a good idea and it looks very good  I'll have a look as soon as I have some more time!

[beatmasterrs]

I have tested and so it works up to here quite well:



Maybe you like to do a PR Maybe I'll make it too, if you dont like, but currently I'm busy with the Litebox integration, so it could take a while

PR with things, i have tested: https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arc...d/pull/338

Thanks again for your suggestion and mockup Looks absolutely cool!

Note: That was just a try, if this could work, for now, so maybe a few things in code need s improvements

It is perfect for me. I thinks that I can finish now and post a PR.

Sounds good

Some questions please:
1. No matter which Home Menu style I adopt, when I scroll across the menu to TV Shows, it still shows movie posters -- not TV posters? At the moment I'm using Classic, but it does the same thing with Modern Multi-Widgets and Modern Multi-Widget Netflix?
2. I have Kodi installed on USB attached to Chromecast with Google TV. When I leave it and return after a period of time -- Kodi has shutdown. This never used to happen with previous skin?
3. When I play radio and the Chromecast screen saver kicks in, it turns off the radio stream. With the previous skin, it would continue to play in a minimized widow over the top of the screensaver?
4. Once I am happy with the setup can I export it and install on another Chromecast on same LAN?

Please set your favourite widget content in skin settings - home - customize home menu There you can choose TV shows, Episodes, Artists, ..., nearly what ever you want.

Thanks. Worked it out.
Have set Menu items to Titles with Poster view.
Under TV Shows, I have added a second widget for In Progress Shows.
All looks good, the trouble is it takes ages to load - am I doing something wrong?

What exactly do you mean with "it takes ages to load"?
Do you have local content or do you use online content? What value of "Limit number of titems in widget" is set?

Local content stored on an Amahi server connected via ethernet. 1500 movies, 5000 or so TV episodes (no online stuff) - no limit for widgets? It sits there spinning trying to load thumbnails for minutes - sometimes refusing to load at all?

Are the thumbs already generated and cached locally by Kodi, or are the thumbs generated the first time the widget is loaded?

That's the question isn't it?
Bearing in mind paths have been converted to Special.
Did a bit of searching and found plenty of thumbnails in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/thumbnails ... size 252.2 MB
Nothing however in special://profile/Thumbnails . . . don't know much about this I'm afraid.
Thanks for your help.

I don't think any path substitution works reliably for profiles any more. I found sources would not work but playlists still seem to. So will likely explain why the thumbnails are local. 

I also see the second widgets are slower to load, even if 1 and 2 are just using playlists. But I wait maybe 5 seconds not minutes.

Hello everyone. Sorry for my English and age doesn't help. I discovered the skin about a month ago. It is magnificent and I congratulate all those who participate in its development. My questions may have already been answered. I am sorry for that. In the music section the disc labels appear well when they come from the scrapers but do not appear when they are in the form cdart.png in the album folder. An idea? In the case of films the disc does not spin although the label which comes from the scrapper appears. thank you in advance
