Thank you @bsoriano.

In this window, "Standard" and "Low" are in English.
The French translations are :
"Standard" : "Standard"
"Low" : "Bas"

Image
In this window, the elements are already translated into French by kodi I think.
@Cyberdom , I will add these string to Amber so I can have control of the translation.  Thanks for letting me know.

Regards,

Bart

I just noticed a bug similar to another that I had but which seemed to have been corrected with an update of TheMovieDb Helper or Embuary Helper.
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?pid=2931601#pid2931601

In the info window of a video, when I click on the play button, the video does not start anymore but the info window of the video closes. I am using TheMovieDb Helper 2.4.36 and Embuary Helper 1.4.8.

I tried the awards poster (Oscars / Golden Globes) by selecting "Awards (Oscars / Golden Globes)" but nothing is displayed. Should we update the media library again ?

@bsoriano 

I'm just going to use Cyber's images since they are already here. Is there a way to hide things in the info panel that I don't want to see, like the Cast or More From Year XXXX, or like the "Trailer" button? I don't really use these, so I wanted to try and clean it up and only present stuff pertinent to me, if possible.


RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix / firestick mouse issue - derrgoo123 - 2020-06-29

When I play movies I cannot get to the controls at all unless I use a mouse. PVR works perfect as soon as you open the controls it highlights. But this doesn’t happen in movies. Am I missing something in settings? Sorry if I posted this in the wrong area.

@crazyhands911 , at this time, you can hide all of the custom lists in the video info dialog except for the cast.  You can go here:

Image

Just disable those you do not want shown.  I have not implemented yet an option to hide the cast.  I have that as a To-Do.  If the cast is not shown, what would you like to show in that space? Nothing?

As for the different buttons in the video info dialog (like Trailer, Extras, etc.) there are no options to disable any of them, and I was not planning on adding them.  How important of a feature is that to you?

Bart

Hi,

Just to clarify this seems to only happen when I try to organize some movies and play them from favorites folder. Here is the video showing video controls but they don’t turn yellow so I cannot close the video.

@cojo11, even though the error message is in German, I think the issue is that you need a more recent version of Amber for Matrix. Please install the Amber repo for Matrix (https://github.com/bartolomesoriano/repo.amber.matrix/blob/master/repository.amber.matrix/repository.amber.matrix-1.0.2.zip) and install Amber from that repo. Thanks.

@derrgoo123, can you please let me know the exact steps you are taking to get to this point? I cannot reproduce this issue. What Kodi version and OS are you using?

RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - zorg2000k - 2020-07-01

Just moving back to Amber, loving the simple format, not so heavy on images / logos etc. I have one question though, relating to the Music view in Fanart

I've attached a screenshot, would it be possible to bring the Formed code down onto a second line underneath the Born (Yellow line as example)

And to also increase the size of the artist bio box.  

Thanks in advance, also happy to try myself if someone can point me to the xml files and entries.

Hi Bart,

I am on Kodi 18.7 Android. My device is a firestick 4K.

I have a VOD service which has a kodi add on. I separate my 24/7 shows by adding them to favorites. When I play from favorites the video controls don’t illuminate which shows in the video. I must use a mouse to get them to show up to stop the video.

Thanks,
Derrgoo

@zorg2000k , thanks for your feedback.

The "Born" and "Formed" are on the same line as they are part of the same variable (panelsubheading, in Includes_Variables.xml).  I can put them in different lines if you do not wish to make that change yourself.

As for the artist bio textbox, there is not much room there to make it larger.  Maybe I can give it a couple more lines of text, would that be enough for your purposes?

What I can do without any serious redesign (which I don't think I would be taking on), would look like this:

Image

Please let me know if this would suit you.

If not and you want to tackle this yourself, the background image is in the common subfolder of the skin's media folder, and it is called Vignetteinfo.png.   All of the fanart view code is in View_56_Fanart.xml in the skin's 1080i folder, and the bits for what is shown in the info panel starts at line 716.  All of the variables referenced in the code can be found in Includes_Variables.xml in the skin's 1080i folder.

Bart

@derrgoo123 , my apologies, I still cannot reproduce this issue.  If I play a tv show, from a VOD service (I tried with Netflix), that I added to favourites, the controls are working fine.  I tried by going to the Favourites menu item, moving to the show, pressing Enter on it, then pressing Enter on an episode to play it.  If I press M while playing the episode, the OSD controls show up, with Pause highlighted.  Even if I move the mouse, which makes it so that no controls are highlighted, I can press any key (Up, Down, Enter, a letter other than X which stops the episode, etc.), and the controls are highlighted correctly.

I really don't know what could be causing the issue in your setup.  Please send me a debug log of when the issue happens, to see if there is anything in the log that might give me a clue.  Thanks.

Regards,

Bart

That looks perfect. Just what I was looking for. Had a look at those files, might be a bit beyond my skills. Are you able to share please or is it something you may include in next update ?

Thanks Zorg

@zorg2000k , it will be in the next update.  If you are OK downloading from Git, the changes are already on GitHub, in the Leia branch.
