Hi - I have the following issues and I hope somebody can help.
Is it possible to configure how, when and for how long the info/pause overlay is shown? I often find myself pausing whatever I am watching to read some text on the screen or some other detail and it's made much harder by the overlay with its vignette and icons/text. I like the overlay - it suits the Netflix theme - and it would be great if it showed at other times (clicking info, maybe right click or after a minute of no mouse activity). My current solution is to right click to cycle between views and then repeat every few seconds when the overlay shows again - this is obviously not a good solution, so I'm hoping there is a setting or code I can change somewhere.
A minor issue I've noticed is similar to @discodode's above. I have Rotten Tomatoes and TMDB ratings, along with IMDB (Top 250 only), but no others like Trakt. The TVDB kind of works, but only shows a rating of 0.0 on select shows. I was wondering if there is some setting I've missed to enable these ratings as I saw them in other screenshots in this forum ("Media Library Views > Media Flags, Rating and Studio Logo in Views" or "Homescreen Layout > Footer" for example).
Lastly, I have some TV Shows and Films in a seperate category (mainly Marvel - ex: TV, Films, Marvel Films, Marvel TV...etc), so I would like to be able to show these seperately in a widget, instead of all together in say "TV Shows" and "Films". I tried doing this with Files/Video Sources (Widgets: Video Library > Sources > TV > Use this widget) which is how I usually navigate to these (not taking full advantage of the skin, I know. It allows for the Featurettes/Extras folder to show too). The issue is that posters and info for the shows don't appear, despite it working otherwise and taking me to that show when I click on them - it just has the default play icon logo. Strangely, one of the shows actually displays its poster but nothing else...
Anyway, I greatly appreciate your work on this skin, @AchillesPunks and I hope you or anyone else here can help with any of these issues. Thanks.
