It's addon. But as i said this view works in auramod, which means it can be implemented in this skin as well of course if the author of this skin wants it. It is only his decision and it should be respected.

I wouldn't even know how to provide the necessary addon support here even if I wanted to. I doubt Achilles does either. He doesn't even use video add-ons and I only (barely) use the Netflix addon.

Yes it would be nice but I’m a complete noob with code so idk how it could work, if it could even automatically pull and determine the top 10.
I think maybe a simpler idea to implement maybe at first then move to yours if it’s even possible (if mine is even possible lol) would be make the aspect widget of posters and the numbers one through ten on the left. And how it would work is it just puts the numbers from
Left to right, so what we would have to do is just change the sorting method to make it match up how we want to for such as date added or things like that. Granted it may not be perfect but I think just having a top 10 widget would be cool and make it even more Netflix like.
This way u could put anything in the widget and it wouldn’t have to do more complicated work like find out rankings and place it itself or I could put stuff that’s not in an Imdb top 10 or 100.

1. Hey Hugo are you still working on fixing the header view to show ratings?
2. Do u ever plan on adding these 2 aspects from Netflix?
A- the top 10 list where it’s a poster with a number to the left of it (not really necessary just a cool idea if possible)
B- the large poster widget for Netflix originals (and even further if possible to make it go landscape and play a trailer) (or if this is not possible, rather than a trailer just still go landscape and show landscape art, this is possible I believe if u look at auramod and check out the Landscape Poster aspect; it’s very nice where it’s all posters but whatever widget u focus on turns landscape as u go right or left)
3- Is it possible to make a smart playlist for something like “Celebrate black stories” from Disney +? The idea would be for the smart playlist to look for black main actors in the cast, or white, Asian whatever ethnicity I wanted to tag? I don’t think it’s possible from smart playlist, UNLESS maybe I create a custom tag? Maybe this is an example of where tags are useful as someone mentioned earlier there is no point to tags if using smart playlists.

1. Is this the Spotlight content widget not displaying the footer ratings ? If so, I fixed this when you reported it. I must have forgot to inform you! Just redownload from github.
2. I hate messing with the widgets. Change one element in widgets and then you invariably end up having to change a multitude of others to make it work properly. None of it particularly simple (for me at least). Achilles is good at that stuff but I still don't see a new layout happening to be honest. We could probably edit an existing layout easily enough to do the top 10 one but I really don't understand where this top 10 information is supposed to come from!
3. That's definitely possible yeah. Just tag any of your chosen titles and then create the smart playlist based on the tags.

For 2 check my response above, basically rather than making complicated work on how to find a top 10, jusr maken a widget aspect that goes one thru 10, a poster with number on left; then from there it’s just up to U what widget path u use and how u sort it. Not perfect but good enough.
And damn that’s a shame i would love to see the large poster landscape widget but I hope maybe it can be reconsidered in the future.
