I had already removed everything related to skinshortcuts and reinstalled, so didn't think it was an old skinshortcuts config. After testing, found that the skin still failed to load even when skinvariables was commented out. Did some additional testing and found that the skin loads no problem when commenting out the splashscreen code from home.xml. No idea why the splashscreen would cause Kodi to crash back to the desktop on my Windows 10 htpc.
Code:
<onload condition="String.IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(SkinSplashStarted))">ActivateWindow(1117)</onload>

Ah great detective work! I would never have figure that the splash window was the issue.

My guess it is something to do with the close action causing some type of recursion where the window being closed is the window Kodi is trying to go back to - I've definitely had issues like that before when using Action(Close) on a window.

Not really sure what the solution is, so in latest git version I've just switched back to the way the splash was managed in AZ2 (as an overlay group on Home rather than separate window) and that way at least it shouldn't cause this issue.

i noticed that loading the netflix plugin takes everytime 7-8 seconds if i'm using arctic zephyr 2 skin.

with arctic horizon it takes on average 15 seconds and sometimes longer (rarely 10 seconds).

does this only happen to me?

I would really like to use arctic horizon but that's why I use arctic zephyr 2 pkscout mod.

I've noticed something similar. With AZ2 pvr stuff starts, loads wham bam (blink of an eye), AH sometimes takes ~40sec before PVR Manager is kicked off. Addon widgets also sometimes take noticeably longer (like go make a sandwich longer) to load then normal too, think because of the same timeout probably?

Same thing is happening on my setup, which hasn’t changed in a while. I’ve only noticed it recently. Takes around 10 seconds to open any addon.

Hey! So, first of all, i really love this skin. I'm almost done with my setup, but got a nagging question left...

At this moment i resorted back to using submenu popups instead of the submenu hub, which i would rather prefer to use, but it doesn't display any plotinfo and ratings underneath the movie/show title. Between the title and the submenu buttons there's pretty much just empty space.

Am i missing something here? Is that intentional or did i miss a setting to enable this? I hope my description makes it clear, otherwise i will snap and upload a pic of my submenu hub to show what i mean.

Thanks for the hard work by the way!

A screenshot and details of your source would help, are you using an addon or the Library? It's not normal for these sections to be blank.

I'm pretty much exclusively using Seren. All the submenu items are links to the corresponing subfolders. I then add the exact folder as a widget for each submenu item. This works just fine when i'm using the same method with a showcase hub.

Team Kodi also applies its forum rules (wiki) exclusively, which means that video piracy add-ons or tools of any kind are not supported on this forum. Simply mentioning them is also not appreciated.

So kindly refrain from any further usage while active on this forum, and perhaps (re)read the forum rules that you accepted during your forum registration. Smile

I can see the issue with the plot - was a bug introduced in a recent update. Should be fixed now on latest git version.

I'm not quite sure what is happening with the ratings issue though. It seems that most recent Kodi Leia version is treating onload commands in custom windows in a strange way, which means that the widget container ID value is not getting set. I've added a workaround to get it working again until I can confirm that it definitely is a bug introduced in Leia 18.7 and not something in the skin.

Also, as Klojum pointed out - please note the forum rules which don't allow discussion of banned piracy addons (letting this one slide since it turned out to be a skin issue not an addon issue and I definitely don't want to discourage bug reporting).


RE: Arctic Horizon - mattyspurs76 - 2020-07-25

searched through this thread but cant see what Im after.

I cannot get any of the submenus to show up on any menu item.

I've reset the skin to default settings and again now submenu for any thing. If i click on tv shows or movies it takes me to my library list as it should, music too. If i click right it highlights widgets, I presume if I clicked left it would open submenus up but nope...nothing at all!

Dear @jurialmunkey 
I love your theme, but I would like to add some elements to make it a little more visual.
I have managed to replace, when there is a clearlogo, the title of the video with the clearlogo, but I can't get it to appear cut off.
I paste what I have edited in case you see that something else needs to be edited.
Code:
   
Include_Object.xml
<include name="Object_Info_Title">
        <param name="label" default="$VAR[Label_Info_Title]" />
        <param name="image" default="$VAR[Image_ClearLogo]" />
        <param name="font" default="font_title_large" />
        <param name="textcolor" default="main_fg_100" />
        <definition>
            <control type="group">
                <top>-70</top>
                <height>180</height>
                <control type="label">
                <label>$PARAM[label]</label>
                <textcolor>$PARAM[textcolor]</textcolor>
                <font>$PARAM</font>
                <visible>String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(clearlogo)) + String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(tvshow.clearlogo))</visible>

                </control>
                <control type="image">
                    <aspectratio align="left" aligny="top">keep</aspectratio>
                    <texture background="true">$PARAM[image]</texture>
                    <visible>!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(clearlogo)) | !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(tvshow.clearlogo))</visible>
                </control>
                <nested />
            </control>
        </definition>
    </include>

I can't get the skin to work.  First time I installed, it switched from the skin I was using to AH as expected and displayed the home page, but would not open the customise home page settings.

I restart Kodi and it freezes on the initialising skin page.  I click on a random area of the initialising skin page and the library opens.

I have all the dependencies installed.

Don't have an 'i' to press on the controller

You'll have to either map a key to it or use submenu popup instead.
