Hello all,
I have uploaded versions 3.2.118 (Leia) and 3.4.8 (Matrix) to GitHub and the Amber repos. The main changes are:
1. Use fanart.jpg as background if present in item folder or parent folder. There is a new setting to use a file named fanart.jpg as background if it is there in the item folder or the item's parent folder. This is useful when browsing in file mode to get the tv show fanart as background when you browse episodes in a season folder. The setting looks like this:
2. Add Logo viewtype for movies., sets, tv shows and artists. Amber now has a Logo view. Thank you @_novalis for reminding me of this view (was always one of my favorites in Aeon Madnox). You can select it like this (regular view selector):
And new view selector:
The view looks like this:
And it has several options, as shown here:
As you can see from above, you can choose to show clear art instead of logo, you can choose to show a single logo at a time, you can choose to fade out all of the unfocused logos, and you can choose to show the watched/unwatched/in-progress overlay.
This is an example with clear art instead of logo and the overlay showing:
Thanks also to @mikeSiLVO , since I adapted the functionality of this view from his Logo view in Aeon Nox SiLVO.
3. Added Director in all applicable views. Amber will now show Director in all media views where applicable (only for movies, sets, episodes and music videos). This is not configurable (meaning it will always be shown if present). It looks like this for Tall List:
And like this in Low List:
4. Miscellaneous Fixes. Fixed some outstanding issues like:
- Logo in Main Menu would overlap with widgets if using three shelves together or three-row shelves.
- Media flags were incorrect when pausing a movie (web-dl was always being shown).
I am sure there were other fixes as well.
Please download, test, and let me know if you find any issues. Thanks.
Regards,
Bart
