RE: Arctic Horizon - NotYourAverageAl - 2020-08-14 @jurialmunkey great updates. my rpi3 was starting to struggle but is back to speed. I agree with @FXB78 the "header" look empty. I would suggest maybe add the movie title of the focused item when vertically scrolling. Also the was heading Titles| Sort By always there when wall scrolling? Feels out of place, I cant put my finger on what bothering me about it RE: Arctic Horizon - Rijs43 - 2020-08-14 Just for my information.. what is the benefit of this feature over the 'normal' browse (horizontally with information text on top) RE: Arctic Horizon - FXB78 - 2020-08-14 (2020-08-14, 13:50)Rijs43 Wrote: Just for my information.. what is the benefit of this feature over the 'normal' browse (horizontally with information text on top)More posters on screen, some think it's easier to navigate.

Thanks - is it possible to have same behaviour as in Arctic Zephyr instead until this can be achieved hopefully? So at the end of widgets for a menu it will stop scrolling down. RE: Arctic Horizon - atown_steve - 2020-08-15 Not sure this is a skin issue, but it's a minor annoyance so I'll report it. I have a submenu item, "trending lists" from TMDB Helper. I often click it to discover new movies. The problem is, when I see an interesting movie in a list, I click to view trailer. When the tailer concludes or if i stop the trailer, AH goes back to the lists but they refresh so the original list that I was interested in is gone. If I didn't pay attention to the name of the movie/trailer I can't find it. Hope I explained it clearly.

I miss the fancy animations... but I think this redesigned wall view works much better and is a little more straightforward to use RE: Arctic Horizon - peat - 2020-08-16 (2020-08-15, 17:20)drinfernoo Wrote: The header on the 0.4.1 update looks much better!

The old version was a little sluggish sometimes. 😎 While we're at it, would it be possible to include another loading animation for low spec media machines? The waves animation keeps stuttering there. 🤔 RE: Arctic Horizon - FXB78 - 2020-08-16 (2020-08-16, 00:36)peat Wrote:I have that turned off, there's an option in settings. You still get the busy spinner so I don't really need the waves thing.(2020-08-15, 17:20)drinfernoo Wrote: The header on the 0.4.1 update looks much better!

I use Kodi on the Nvidia Shield, and the old wall view wasn’t sluggish for me at all. It was an incredibly unique form of browsing that I’ve never seen done anywhere else before, and I was able to view content much faster than the standard wall. It really made this skin stand out. RE: Arctic Horizon - jurialmunkey - 2020-08-16 (2020-08-16, 04:05)RedRanger Wrote: I’m going to miss the infinite scroll wall view, tbh. Performance whilst navigating the wall itself was fine. The issue was the initial loading/building of the wall includes caused a delay of several seconds when first opening the library and this had a general knock-on effect across the whole skin. The delay was quite noticeable even on an i7 with an SSD. The problem is that all usable code needs to be include on window load. So whenever the library is opened, the skinning engine is loading the code for six different walls (poster/square/landscape/seasons/artists/collections) all at once. These walls are then sitting hidden in the background waiting to be used - that's why the performance hit is more general rather than only specifically when using the wall. With a normal viewtype, the skinning engine loads a single "itemlayout" template to draw all the items onscreen. For the infinite wall, however, each item needed to be individually specified. The poster wall by itself had 66 individual items (36 onscreen plus 30 offscreen for scrolling animations). With six walls, that's 300+ items just sitting around in the background! And each of these items has multiple components (overlays, shadows, text etc.) With that said, it's definitely a unique feature and I'm hopeful that it will be able to make a comeback as an option (disabled by default of course!!).

Kodi forces a refresh of all containers once playback ends - so unfortunately nothing that can be done from the skin side of things.

There's a possibility of this happening still, but it might make that a little less common. |
