The options are "Browse" (which makes them open the "details" browser) or "Play/Open" (which makes them do what the default action inside Kodi is.

I do, thanks, but like i said it would be useful for just TMDBH, not throughout the whole skin. Its fine, dont worry about it, not sure why its such a sensitive topic with you guys. Just a feature suggestion I thought would be nice, thats all. Have a great day.

Pressing Enter to view info makes no sense. I dont think your understanding. In TMDBH, it has the option already to either Open/Play, or Browse when you make a selection. When its set to Browse, it opens the un-skinned TMDBH "Details List". All I was asking is if was possible to have the option to open the skinned Info/Details list instead, thats all. Not trying to change any core Kodi functions.

Well, first of all, i dont have an "i" button on my Shield remote, i have to pull up the context menu. I would just prefer to open the Aractic Horizon skinned info window because it has everything in one place, Play, Movie Info, Trailer, Trakt options, etc. Most importantly, its useful and it looks great!!! Makes sense to me to just default to opening that window on click. Just my preference thats all.

The skinning engine pretty much gives no control over the on screen position of items in a group list. I'm already using a series of incredibly complex tricks to get the current positioning. To get a widget to move always to the top row is very difficult to do without breaking a ton of things. The current approach is necessary in order to have a setup where the second widget can have info (ie mimic the showcase hub on home since I had to remove the option to replace the fullscreen widget with the hub due to issues it was causing). The complexity of an option to switch between another further style is just not feasible. Option to disable header is already on my todo list on github.

It looks a bit bare now but that may just be that I'm not used to it.(2020-08-29, 16:25)FXB78 Wrote: Just an observation about the new Video OSD, I think it looks a bit cluttered with the ratings included & the icons moved to the bottom. Personally I preferred the old view with the icons to the right, and the ratings seem unneccessary, if I'm already watching something I don't really need to know the ratings. Would it be possible to have an option to disable the ratings on the OSD? And perhaps the icons would look better above the plot if you don't want them aligned to the right? Yeah I removed it because duplication of info. Plus I've had a few shows recently with a long title that caused it to scroll which was really painful. It does feel a bit bare at first but you get used to it quickly. Also I've got an idea to show the title in a different position which I'll implement soon.

Press i for info works across the whole system, it makes no sense to change that for one specific addon. Nobody sees it as a sensitive topic, we were just trying to understand why you were requesting it when you could simply press i like you do in every other part of Kodi. What you see when "browse" is set is just a folder in the plugin with shortcuts to other folders in the plugin. That details page is never "skinned". Unlike extendedinfo, tmdbhelper doesn't use a separate scripted window for the info dialog. There is no "skinned" info dialog at all - TMDbHelper "info" is literally Kodi's same native info dialog that is used for library items. Plugins should never override Kodi's default select action. You might think the plugin's play/browse switch already does that but it doesn't. It only changes the folder shortcut the item points to (it's like if you have a desktop shortcut that opens a folder of documents and you change it to point to a specific document instead). Opening the native info dialog requires the Action(Info) command to be called - so for a plugin to force that IS changing core functionality because it requires overriding the user's keymap. Changing/overriding user keymap actions is generally forbidden for Kodi addons other than in very special cases (e.g. keymap editor).

RE: Arctic Horizon - berkhornet - 2020-08-30 Hi I was playing around with the Home Screen menus (using version 0.5.23) and noticed that when using the Showcase Hub, Play and Information buttons were displayed that didn't seem to perform any action. Thanks for a great skin. RE: Arctic Horizon - jurialmunkey - 2020-08-30 (2020-08-30, 11:05)berkhornet Wrote: Hi That's because you haven't got a fullscreen widget configured for the hub.
