Hi Bart,

I'm not sure how this question / suggestion meets your overall vision of Xonfluence for Matrix but an advantage that the newer skins seem to have are more extensive options for Widget creation.

Thinking quickly the most obvious missing option is 'Sort By'? And maybe also defining the Content Type to help display the correct images and metadata? I'm sure you have a more detailed knowledge about these type of things than I do.

Is it even possible to add these more extensive Widget creation options to older skins like Xonfluence?

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this subject.

THANKS

@jmh2002, it is certainly possible to add that; I did something like that with Amber a couple of years ago. It is a big undertaking.

The most configurable way for widgets is using script.skinshortcuts.

I cannot commit to doing this at this time. However, I could add other widgets that you would like to have. If you can provide me a list, I will look into adding them.

Regards,

Bart

Hello Bart,

I have a lot of music videos for which I have manually created nfo files ("Local Information only"). These have different resolutions and different audio formats.
If these are registered under the main point "Videos", Xonfluence shows very detailed the video format and audio format if "View option" is set accordingly (see picture).



Under the main point "music video" these information are missing completely or partially.
With access via "Artist" the information is missing completely (see picture).



With access via "Titles" a part of the information is missing: Resolution, audio codec and number of audio channels (see image).



Would it be possible to add this? That would be great.

@jacky_smith , could you please try the latest from GitHub? I think I added the info you were looking for.  While the three views do not look exactly the same, the flags should look the same.  Please let me know how this looks to you.  Thanks,

Bart

Hello Bart,

thank you very much. It looks very good.

Hi Bart,
My next small contribution :-)
Line 1693 in Includes.xml:
            <label>$INFO[System.Date]</label>

can be replaced by:
            <label>$INFO[System.Date] $INFO[System.CPUTemperature,,]</label>

As the result next to the date presented we can see current CPU temperature which is quite important (at least in my opinion)
If CPU temperature is increasing for whatever reason it might be dangerous and cause device's failure.


Also would like to back to my previous request for DialogPlayerProcessInfo.xml
I have modified it so it shows AMLogic hardware and video info:


You responded that you can't use it as users might have different, non-AMLogic devices which is fine, but is it possible to detect at the skin's installation what hardware platform installation is performing on and in case it is AMLogic based SoC, appropriate DialogPlayerProcessInfo.xml is installed?


And the last kind of issue what would be nice to see it is implemented:
at the video pause, bottom subtitles are covered ("shadowed") so it's impossible to read them:

In above screenshot it's almost not visible but there is a text: "Dostałem nowe akta z Ma"

Would it be possible to get rid those "shadows" at the subtitle position when pause is pressed so the subtitle would be readable?

All the best Bart,

[bsoriano]

All the best Bart,

@rafikW , thanks for your requests.  I will add options to remove the shadow behind the seek bar on pause, and to include the CPU temperature alongside the date.

As for the AMLogic info, I did modify the DialogPlayerProcessInfo.xml to show the AMLogic information that you requested.  It does so if you have the addon script.amlogic.displayinfo installed, as per your modified file and what I mentioned here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid3029830 .  In fact, if you have the addon, it is run when DialogPlayerProcessInfo.xml is loaded.  

Making the information appear only if you have that addon installed is the way I saw to accommodate your request without making it mandatory for all users, who may or may not use AMLogic platform, or who may or may not want to see that information.  Do you have the addon installed and enabled in your system?

Regards,

Bart

Hi Bart,
Apparently I don't have it installed as I don't see these AMLogic additional information.
Forgive me my ignorance but where to get addon script.amlogic.displayinfo from?
I have searched all addons repositories for "amlogic" word and found only "Services - Amlogic VNC" which I guess is not the one I need.

@rafikW, first of all, I understand that you are using COREELEC as your OS and that you are running on an AMLogic device.  If you are not, then you will not be able to see that additional info.

If you are, then what I was reading is that the addon is part of CE, and it is named video display info or something like that.  It should be under CE addons.  Unfortunately, I do not have CE or an AMLogic device to test and help you further.

Hi Bart,
Yes, of course, my device is AMLogic hardware: Odroid-N2
I have also another one: Odroid-C2 on which there is CoreELEC with Kodi Leia installed and in CoreELEC Addon-ons repository under Program add-ons section there is CoreELEC Display Info add-on (Author: roidy, version 9.2.100) and it is by default enabled without possibility to uninstall.
It is missing in CoreELEC on Odroid-N2 running Kodi Matrix. I'm going to ask on CoreELEC forum what's going on...

Hi Bart,

I'm not sure if it's a problem on my side but adding a Widget via Custom Widgets - Favourites doesn't seem to be working for me on LibreElec (clicking Custom Widgets - Favourites does nothing) but it IS working on Windows.

Hi Bart,

I'm not sure if it's a problem on my side but adding a Widget via Custom Widgets - Favourites doesn't seem to be working for me on LibreElec (clicking Custom Widgets - Favourites does nothing) but it IS working on Windows.

I also seem to have a memory leak leading to a freeze on my LibreElec device. Can you please give me a link to download the Skin version before 4.1.0 so that I can test this properly?

In addition, the appearance of the video widget now seems different depending on whether Poster or Thumbnail is chosen under Widget Format. Poster shows the large black frame around the images, Thumbnail does not.

Is this a bug? (let me know if you need a screenshot)

Overall I seem to have had some strange behaviour start on my LibreElec device and I'm not really sure why. But it seems to be connected to the skin (and/or the widgets) because if I switch to Estuary I don't have any memory leak.

THANKS
