Hey.

So sorry. I was offline for a looong time. And I didn't receive any email notification about being mentioned either. Just looked in my forum settings here: only found an option to get email notifications for private messages. If ever you find another icon bug please feel free to drop me a PM so I get notified. I had already redone the icon you asked when I noticed that you'd pushed an update to the Amber repo that already has a correct icon version in it.
I really like 3.2.46. Thanks a lot.

Hope you don't mind me asking:

#1 When I create a new home menu item like "movies XYZ" based on a smart playlist  there's an option to choose a slide show based on this playlist (or an other) as the home menu itembackground.
Unfortunately some movies (old, obscure DVDs) have no (fanart) background, so the slide show sometimes shows a black background.
Is there a way I can make the 'home menu background'-slideshow skip movies that have no background artwork to avoid blank/black screens?

#2 I know we talked about it but I can't find the option to disable the display of ratings (Rated R, PG-13..., user ratings) and the like? I don't mind them in the detailed info view but I could do without them in the footer of the main movies (small icons) view.

#3 When I create a new home menu item and choose single image as background would it be possible to choose/access the default skin background images? Single image won't offer me that path.

Anyway, thanks for all of your work and again sorry for the delay.

Best regards,

N.

@newbii , welcome back.

Please send me the updated badge for 5.1, I never got around to redoing it and just replaced with the old one.  Thanks.

As to your requests:

1. I will look into this, I am not sure how to go about.  Could you please let me know if this only happens when you start Kodi and move for the first time to the menu item that has the playlist as background? Or do you see a background, and then it changes to a black background (because of a movie with no fanart) and then changes to a background?

2.  Are you talking about the codec flags (hd720, 5.1 , etc)? Those you can disable in Settings, Amber Settings, Media Views: Hide Media Flags from Views.  I have yet to code disabling certification (PG-13, etc.) and rating (rottentomatoes, imdb, tmdb, etc.) in video info dialog.  If this is not what you mean, please send me a screenshot of what you mean.  Thanks.

3.  I am looking for a way to provide the default skin backgrounds as options.  I probably will have to provide each one as a separate option, but since there are not many, this shoudl not be a big issue.  Stay tuned.

Regards,

Bart
