- 1.- .....
- 2.- as for setting a specific view-type, the view-types have always been a lil problematic, ... it always tends to revert back to the default view, its a years old issue.
I have also been dissatisfied with X/Confluence's view modes for a long time, and the solution I propose is to DRASTICALLY reduce the view modes as follows:
- Just one media info view. Xonfluence currently has three, which is tantamount to saying it does not know what to end up with so it just throws at us all three unfinished, broken sets of code.
- The best media info view in the Kodi universe is Estuary's 3-column view. Every column takes up the entire vertical screen space, so it maximizes visible information while minimizing (actually eliminating) the need for scrolling. Column One: long list view to jump between items. Column Two: artwork. Column Three: metadata (mainly text, but also icons & symbols).
- Just one list view. Again, Xonfluence currently has three unfinished, broken sets of code thrown at us. I would go for big list (plus an explanatory text box if possible), but my preference would be for a big list wrapping along three columns, a design offering maximum information while reducing (effectively eliminating) scrolling which however I have not yet seen realized in any skin.
- Just one thumbnails view.
- Just one view focusing on showcasing artwork. Not just fanart but also actor thumbs.
- If asked to further prune this list I would cut it down it to JUST TWO VIEWS: (a) Estuary's media view mode. (b) Big list with informatory textbox popups.
KISS = keep only the best, eliminate the rest.
