Downloaded the latest version 1.07 alpha from github. First I had to adjust the addon.xml (set xbmc.gui from 5.14.0 to 5.15.0) to get it installed on Kodi 19 Matrix. But then it was always automatically reverted to version 1.06 alpha by Kodi auto-update. So I ended up using the addon.xml from that version (showing 1.06-alpha) and now I am fine.

I have switched to the "Menu Tiles" layout for the home menu which is very responsive in startup and handling (even on the chromecast 4 players of my parents, which - by the way - are the best players I have been using besides the Nvidia Shield TV boxes). Also this layout is clean and simple to use, but still stylish because of the changing background and the animated icons. It is almost "apple like". What ever you do with this skin please keep this home menu layout included ;-)

The new netflix view types are very nice. I like! However, it seems like the text for Genre is overlapping the icons for codec, rating etc. It gets better if you activate "Switch Artwork and Info Position" in the sidebar. But still the word "movies" is partly covering the respective icons then. And I do not like the plot scrolling on the right side of the screen.

Hope you will find the time for implementing missing features like LiveTV and weather as a certain stage.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Thanks.

the git brach just represent current progress of some testing till i decide to push new update (also stay on leia gui till i move forward to matrix only)
- currently the spotlight (netflix like) views are pretty much undone
- need find good spot for aditional rating, mediaflags, therefore currently overlapping genre,

EDIT: something like that



- it also need/get a (icon)button grouplist to force some things ,as on- up/down doesnt offer enough options without that.
( i also tend to prefer focus the 'filter button' instead of the cutrently used trailer playback.)

so i will need more time to test some things out.


the simple tile homlayout, will stay this way by default
i will just change it for
- respect custom colors
- custom fanart path for rotating background art

- what i have in mind as options are a slide out of current menu content (maybe submenu or just folderpath of menu contents)
