I was hoping this meant that it would "Browse" to the Arctic skinned Info window, but it doesnt. Instead it opens the generic TMDBH info list. I was hoping there was a way to open AH Info dialiog by default using TMDBH without setting Kodi to open Info on click for everything. I prefer to open the AH Info Dialog on click because it shows all the options i like, like play, Play Trailer, Trakt options, etc.

Setting TMDbHelper to "Play/Open" and Kodi's default action to "Show Information" accomplishes this.

Yea, I get that, but i didnt want all addons i have installed to open Info, I just wanted TMDBH to open the info. I just figured because AH is skinned for use with TMDBH, naturally it would open AH Info by default instead of the ugly default TMDBH info list.

So Jurialmunkey, what do you think? Wouldnt it make more sense and look nicer if TMDBH opened AH info instead of the TMDBH list info??  Can you make that an option in AW or TMDBH options?

Just checked the Addons page & this too now shows the Date in place of the addon name, looks like a bit of a bug:

Yep submenu is intentionally one line now.
Ok. I was able to have a sub menu widget on the settings page along with the settings widget before. I suppose it worked unofficially. I'll have to reorganize my home screen setup. Thanks for the response.

Yeah thinking about it, how it was setup before probably did work like that in certain scenarios - but it definitely wasn't designed to be that way. The changes needed to be made though to fix the navigation issues that it had before.

Also, if your only concern is a submenu, note that the very most recent changes on github master make it possible to access submenu onleft from vert menu.

Thanks, I'll check that out!

This is probably similar to the bug I reported for the PVR screen (that was fixed).  I don't think addons set a dbtype, so the skin is defaulting to the date for them. The fix is probably the same, so I bet it'll make it into one of the next few releases.

Yep, no ListItem.DBType for addons which makes it really difficult to determine what info to display - can't use container content value because widgets can't access container properties so need to rely on listitem values.

Same problem with that iPlayer plugin - it only sets container content to episodes and leaves listitem dbtype blank.

@FXB78 - That being said, should be fixed now for both scenarios - found some other listitem values to rely on. Using ListItem.AddonVersion to determine if an addon since only addons should have that set, and showing title if listitem.title is set (iplayer will show "no information available" in infoline though because there's no way to differentiate episodes from tvshows/movies/videos etc. if dbtype isn't set -- but it doesn't appear to set much information any way, all I could see was endtime).

TMDb and Trakt should work out of the box. Metacritic and Rottentomatoes ratings require an OMDb API key"

Out of the box I only had the one star rating. I added a free omdb key and it added trakt and tmdb. Do I need to have the paid $1/mo omdb patron key to get metacritic and rottentomatoes? When I signed up free it said I'd get the first 1000 ratings free, but I didn't even get that (unless you count the trakt/tmdb).

There's no difference between free and paid API keys (other than that paying helps support the maintenance/server costs of course!)

Trakt and TMDb ratings come from Trakt and TMDb APIs, so if you're only getting them then it sounds like you've incorrectly entered your OMDb API key. Common mistakes include: copying a trailing/leading space when entering the key; not saving the settings because you pressed back to close the settings dialog rather than clicking OK; or mixing up the case of the key (it's case sensitive). It's also possible that OMDb API was simply down at the time.

Clearart seems intermittent for me.
What triggers whether it will display or not?


RE: Arctic Horizon - systemshutdown4 - 2020-08-28

I'm really confused between the differences in the hub widgets, full screen widgets and submenus and how to set them. Especially since submenus is in a seperate category under widgets but requires a widget set in order to appear. I was able to set a "Search" submenu on the homescreen under the shortcut title but it also has a popup if I click up on the shortcut title. Is there a way to have the submenu under the shortcut without the accompanying pop up?


RE: Arctic Horizon - TexasRules777 - 2020-08-28

Hey man. Skins getting great! I have a weird glitch though. On my main full screen ( the default new one ) I'm missing clear art. I have it on all of my other widgets but not the main screen. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Clearart doesn't show on the fullscreen widget, but we have been requesting clearlogo to be displayed there, as it is in the screensaver Big Grin

As long as you're in a view that shows clearart, the items you're browsing have clearart, and you have clearart enabled, they should show.


RE: Arctic Horizon - drinfernoo - 2020-08-28

@jurialmunkey, I've made a pull request to split the "Waves" animation off into an optional resource add-on, which I've already created and pushed to the repository Wink

This should hopefully save on skin install time (the long hang on install) and size on disk Smile

EDIT: I saw you merged it, so I already pushed it to the repo Big Grin
