Hello all,
I have uploaded versions 3.4.31 (Matrix) and 3.2.151 (Leia) to GitHub and the Amber repos. The highlights are:
1. Rework Shelf info for Two Shelves Together. Amber will now provide a different look for the shelf info if you have enabled two shelves together for the menu item. Thank you @shedrock for the request. In the following screenshot, I have enabled two shelves together (and show shelves info) for the TV Shows menu item:
- No shelf focused:
- Bottom (Shelf 1) shelf focused:
The next aired info, as well as the cast, are provided by tmdb helper. You need to have this addon installed, enabled, and enable its use in Amber settings in order for cast and next aired to be shown.
- Top (Shelf 2) shelf focused:
2. Episodes List button in Video OSD (for episodes). Amber can now show an episodes list dialog when the episodes list button is selected while playing an episode. Thank you @fsurfer for the request. The episodes list button is optional, and disabled by default. The dialog can also include seasons, and this is optional as well. The new settings are here:
It is important to note that, in order to use this feature, you need embuary helper installed, enabled, and activated in Amber settings.
The new button in the video OSD is the one highlighted in the following screenshot:
Once you select it (click it), you get the following dialog (the video is paused while the dialog is active):
You can move horizontally between seasons, and the episodes list beloow changes accordingly. When you press Down from the seasons list, you get to the episodes list.
The following screenshot shows how the focused episode in the episodes list looks:
You can select any episode and Kodi will play that episode.
There are also many other miscellaneous fixes.
Please download, test, and let me know if you find any issues. Thanks.
Regards,
Bart
