Having stuck to older skins and Krypton/Leia, 1 think I have noticed with the change is that the viewtype available seem to be restricted depending on what library category Kodi has assigned.
For example for TV series seasons, the only Flix view is the landscape episode and I can't select the Flix poster viewtype. Some of my home videos are not scanned and Kodi somehow assigns them a library category which restricts the viewtype.
With older skins like the original Arctic:Zephyr and Aeon Silvo not, even with the Leia upgrade, there was the option of choosing any of the available viewtype and not restricted by what library category is assigned.
Is it possible to choose any viewtype regardless of the assigned library category. Or is there a way to change the library category that has been assigned.
Maybe the addon you are using does not specify a (correct) content type? Yes, there are conditions for different content types, because not every content type looks good with every view.
It relates to certain videos, particularly non library scanned home videos or certain TV series and not video addon which I don't use. You mentioned different content types, can I add a content type to a particular viewtype if it isn't originally included?
Sure. The content type, a view is made for, is mostly defined at the top. E.g. in view 521: https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arc..._V2.xml#L6
A corresponding change is also required in the Custom_SetViewtype.xml file: https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arc...#L149-L157
