Hello

I had to reinstall and when I pause a movie, it now displays a screen grab from the movie rather than the poster. How do I fix this please?

Cheers
Mark

I'd like to know how to do this too. Anybody please? Somehow I missed this skin but I instantly love it. Aside from that

Was fixed a bit ago, but hasn't been merged into the official version yet for some reason.
Here is the fix.

Depends on the device, what kind of device?

Fuxbox · 2023-03-05, 00:16

Xbox series x

I'm unfamiliar with how to alter files on an Xbox version, maybe you can access a share with file manager and have the file there, then use file manager to overwrite the version under kodi userdata apps with a version on the share.

if the filesystem is a challenge to access it may prove easier to download the addon to a computer, extract, make the modifications, repack and then reinstall it

Good idea jep

Might want to kick the version up by 1 to let Kodi see a reason to install it.
So in addons.xml change the line to:

Code:
<addon id="skin.metropolis" version="4.0.2" name="Metropolis" provider-name="jingai, Stoli, Amra, MacGyver">
