Skins don't control when widgets reload. Kodi always reloads widget containers after you watch something - you probably just didn't notice it reloading in other skins.

Have you noticed widgets in the fullscreen showcase "disappearing" when they reload?

Yes I think this is the same thing I was referring to! When this happens you can still see the contents of the selected item in the widget on the top showcase part of the screen but the bottom part of the screen shows the loading animation but you can still scroll through the list and select items you just can't see the posters in the widget.

If the showcase section is not there e.g. you have two widgets in one section this doesn't happen

I can post a video of that helps but is this what you a refering to?

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

Anyone here using tinyMediaManager in combination with this skin?
I guess this skin works best without local nfo/fanart (coming from tmm) and using the TMDB scraper for the initial import?

It shouldn't matter where the artwork is coming from as long as it's configured correctly.

What's missing / the problem?


RE: Arctic Horizon - webmaher - 2020-06-04

Kodi is showing other art than provided locally. I even ran "texturecache.py C" to make sure the cache was rebuilt. I dont necessarily need tmm, as long as there is an easy/automated way to set genres and choose preferred art.


RE: Arctic Horizon - webmaher - 2020-06-04

If any chance that skin have options to choose from where you want all data for series and movies (separate)...

Since the topic was raised, will the skin display local ratings etc instead of pulling from the net if these are scraped beforehand? And if so what's the appropriate method/scraper/site?

Unfortunately Kodi only allows access to additional scraped ratings inside the info dialog. Everywhere else it is only possible to get the basic default rating (which is what the star rating displays).

So I only show online ratings (other than star) because I don't think it makes sense to switch between scraped and online depending on whether info dialog is open.

The skin only shows whatever artwork you've added to your library database.

The only places TMDbHelper service retrieves online artwork is clearart on the right corner of the library (and also in the Plot Overlay Artwork Gallery, but you have to specifically access that by pressing up to open plot overlay and then right to open the gallery).

Clearart from TMDbHelper can be disabled by turning off fanart.tv for the service in TMDbHelper settings:
TMDbHelper Settings > API Keys > Use fanart.tv for service monitor artwork (disable)


If you're seeing other artwork for your library items, then you've scraped that artwork to your library.

Thanks, thought I'd ask before I start wondering and testing things. That makes a lot of sense, let's hope that future Kodi versions might allow that.

Btw, nothing pressing but always looking forward to the full screen / lovefilmish selectable widget aspect.

You're doing amazing work jurialmunkey, thanks.

Ah, I keep forgetting to implement selectable fullscreen widgets. I've now added it to my to do list so I don't forget!

It really shouldn't be that difficult to implement now that you can choose different widgets for the showcase hub.
