Mkay I had limited success: tried Aura, BOX, Quartz and Estuary and all showed the same behaviour. Interestingly though, on Estuary if I went into extended info, it showed the PCM icon instead of Dolby Digital.

Basically what is happening is the disc has multiple audio tracks - the main track is LPCM, and the others are Dolby Digital. Hence, I am not sure if it is a icon issue or a detection issue with Kodi.

Hope that information helps a bit. 

If you turn off codecs in "Skin Settings > Furniture", then you will be able to see the text string the codec is reported as in the video info dialog (where subs/languages) are. All the skin does is use that text string to match against a png with that filename. I just need to know what the string is so that I can make a file with that name. 
It might be a detection issue on Kodi after all; it is reporting AC3, which explains the Dolby Digital icon.

Think I found a small bug:

I've created a custom node in my video library that filters and displays my movies which have commentary audio tracks. When I visit this node, the Section Name in the top center correctly displays the node name - "Commentaries." If I select a movie and go to it's information and then go back to the node, the Section Name has reverted to simply "Titles" like on normal movie library views instead of the previously displayed custom node name. It correctly displays the Section Name again only once I've backed out of the node and go back into it.

Thanks for all your work Jurial. This is by far the best skin I've ever used for Kodi. And it's still only in ALPHA!

You should be able to determine what it is by temporarily disabling codecs in furniture and then opening the video info dialog - the codec name will be shown on the same line as the languages/subs.

It's quite difficult to skip blank images in the skinning engine. It can be done, but it is costly in terms of cpu. The better option is to add the missing codec images.

Source is based upon filename and path.
If ListItem.FileNameAndPath contains one of the following, it will show the relevant flag (higher positions override lower ones)
[4k bluray] > 2160p | UHD | UltraHD | Ultra-HD | 4K
[blu-ray] > blu-ray | bluray | bdrip | bd25 | bd50
[hddvd] > hddvd | hd-dvd
[dvd] > dvd
[hdtv] > hdtv | pdtv | dsr
[sdtv] > sdtv
[web-dl] > web-dl | webdl | WEBRip

You can check what filename and path kodi is reporting by opening videoinfo and highlight the "refresh" button (filename shows bottom left).

Sorry for this missunderstanding.
It‘s not a codec image what is missing, just the source stuff I was talking about.
Hopefully your source matching you mentioned is regex and case insesitiv? So that e.g. „BluRay“ would match to?

I found out, that using addon path due to Emby for Kodi doesn’t provide parent folders name where the information is.
No issue to your skin. Sorry!

But maybe you could add source images for „AmazonHD“ and „ITunesHD“ which I got often.
Otherwise you may add them to another icons pattern.

No worries. Yeah, the skinning engine isn't case sensitive for these types of things.

I would imagine AmazonHD and ITunesHD would be covered by the web-dl flag. Unless there is a specific reason to identify them?

No, no specific reason to identify them separate.
They are kind of WebDL. Maybe you can differ between Web, WebDL, Web-DL, Web DL (all SD) and WebHD, Web-HD, Web HD, AmazonHD, ItunesHD, MaxdomeHD, NetflixHD (all HD)?


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - User 426612 - 2019-04-27

Found two little bugs.
"Trailer" button is always visible and not only when a trailer is present. Maybe you want to hide it, when there is no trailer.
Where do you get the audio codec information? I have a season of Suits in my library with DTS sound in the first audio stream and AC3 in the second one. A:Z2 show the icon for Dolby Digital.

Sounds like a kodi-core bug. I don't have a specific condition to show the text "Titles" - the skin just uses whatever text kodi puts in $INFO[Container.FolderName]

Okay, that sounds like a good idea. I will have to make a web-hd flag.

Trailer fixed on latest.

Audio codec is whatever kodi reports in $INFO[ListItem.AudioCodec]

I would assume the trailer button would still show in the EIS dialog, since it can pull trailers?

Was there currently any way for the plot to show in the LoveFilm view?

Not currently. On my todo list.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - User 426612 - 2019-04-28

Is the latest version always on repo? Kodi says there is no update available (has 0.9.28a2)

I'll update the repo tomorrow morning with the newest updates.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - chrisvilla - 2019-04-28

I have the clearlogos turned on in settings and am using the Poster Showcase view for Series and Seasons. I also use the Banner List for episodes.

Question: Should there be clearlogos on the Series and Episodes pages as well as the Season page?

Just seems like it would improve consistency between screens. Or is it me?

Props on this skin by the way, chuffed it's been re-booted.

Yes, there should be clearlogos there. The bug should be fixed now. Please try v0.9.29-a8

RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Bishop8472 - 2019-04-28

I'm using Arctic Zephyr 2 and really like it.

When I move to TV Shows I have a widget that shows me the next episodes I need to watch. It's easy and fast this way. The only downside is that when I have a missing episode I will not notice unless there's a 'previously on...' and I notice stuff I haven't seen. Is there a way to let Kodi show missing episodes in the 'next episode'-view? (I'm using Emby to handle my database and the Emby for Kodi addon)
