RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Habitual_Sinner - 2015-12-13
Reposting in here to see if it gets any more traction, Can anyone help me achieve the below?
(2015-12-12, 18:39)Habitual_Sinner Wrote: Hi Everyone,
Firstly thanks to @jurialmunkey for such a great skin!
I realise that my request may be to my personal tastes but I'm hoping that other people may also be interested in what I'm looking for and maybe someone with the skills can help us out!
I listen to a lot of music (16TB+ music library) and what I'm looking for is some more information built into the "now playing" display. how difficult would it be to achieve something that looks like the below?
I'm basically just looking for the album art to be displayed on the right and the ExtendedInfo for the artist scrolling on the left.
Happy to donate for someone's time if they can help me out!
(2015-12-13, 12:41)Habitual_Sinner Wrote: I think it would look good with the artist logo in the middle, if no artist logo is available then maybe display the artist name in large font in the middle?
My idea needs cleaning up, you don't need the artist name on the screen multiple times so I'd like to replace the artist name on the left with the song title and remove the rating stars. I've been playing with the MusicVisualisation XML but it's basically just trial and error at this point, Can anyone on here help me out or am I asking in the wrong place?
RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Nellgrove - 2015-12-13
Probably a really stupid question, but how do I remove 'next recording notification' from the home screen when I have PVR enabled? I've turned off any of the obvious notification questions in PVR settings, but it's still permanently displayed.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr - RazorFR - 2015-12-13
I grabbed the up to date skin from gihub and didn't see the correct info in random albums and songs widgets
A few changes in Includes_Labels.xml seem necessary (spotted in Braz version)
<value condition="substring(Container(300).ListItem.Property(widget),Album)">$INFO[Container(301).ListItem.Property(Album_Description)]</value>
To
<value condition="StringCompare(Container(300).ListItem.Property(widgetType),albums)">$INFO[Container(301).ListItem.Property(Album_Description)]</value>
<value condition="StringCompare(Container(300).ListItem.Property(widgetType),songs)">Recorded by $INFO[Container(301).ListItem.Artist] on the album $INFO[Container(301).ListItem.Album,,.]</value>
And
<value condition="substring(Container(300).ListItem.Property(widget),Album)">$INFO[Container(301).ListItem.Artist]$INFO[Container(301).ListItem.Year, • ,]</value>
To
<value condition="StringCompare(Container(300).ListItem.Property(widgetType),albums) | StringCompare(Container(300).ListItem.Property(widgetType),songs)">$INFO[Container(301).ListItem.Artist]$INFO[Container(301).ListItem.Year, • ,]</value>
Looks OK after that
RE: Arctic: Zephyr - jurialmunkey - 2015-12-14
Apologies to everyone for not being as available as I have been in the past. Very busy at the moment so wont be able to respond as much as usual.
(2015-11-23, 07:53)loggio Wrote: Jurialmunkey,Ah its because you need some way to reset the fallback image to nothing. I have an idea for this using script.toolbox - will get back to you.
The above is not working for 'fall back' image.
Also, couple of things ...
1.Currently nowhere on the OSD for live tv does it show what's on next, can the channel list OSD perhaps show now and next like the channels window currently does?
2. Channels window does not show currently recording items. There's no indicator.
3. Vertical home menu does not show pvr recording schedule notification like the horizontal menus do.
4. In Icons view, any chance of showing the movie title where the clearlogo is if there's no logo, or if logos are turned off? Can be hard to read titles on some covers from a distance.
5. Addition of a colour picker like in Braz's mod? :-P
Cheers.
1. You can use the Now / Next from the osd controls to see what is coming up on the channel. I mapped this to a button on my remote - From memory, I think the command is ActivateWindow(pvrguideosd)
- I tried something previously for the Channel OSD window, but it just looked to cluttered.
2. I'll look into it.
3. I'll look into it.
4. Tried something like this before. Not really that keen on it sorry.
5. There already is a colour picker for the highlight colour. Also, be keeping it with this one means that Skin Helper doesn't need to be a dependency for the skin. Anything that reduces dependencies is a good thing. Further, the helper colour picker doesn't work properly for Android based devices like FTV.

Unlikely to be a skin issue.
and in live tv its possible to list more channels? even if doesent show playing/next on that menu?
I've got an idea for showing more tv channels similar to a view I introduced in E2.

I don't need to see all that just after skipping 10 sec. or so.It only shows the Seekbar and time for me? Or do you mean hide that also?
(2015-12-05, 22:46)luogo Wrote: Another question: Can i modify the Skin easily and change the Resolution to fit my TV resolution?"Easily"? -- Not really. It would take pretty much redefining coordinates of every single element of the skin to suit the new resolution - its possible but quite a mammoth task.
And if yes: where, in which files?
Thanks a lot!
(2015-12-07, 02:17)dr.joaomarcelo Wrote: Read the FAQ. I too had the same problem. I can't complain cause this is a great skin but it would be easier to everybody if just choosing "none widget" would work.Instead you first need to choose a customized background to each home menu for it to work.In the Jarvis version the options are simplified and more straight forward.

(2015-12-08, 12:29)santos954 Wrote: First, your skin is awesome and the only one i'll use. But i'm wondering if there's anyway to avoid the root menu when backing out of add ons? This will happen a lot, for example when i go deep into a video add-on and then blackout, or when using folders in super favorites, or when i search a video add-on from the home screen, the video root page will pop up in the background and then you have to back out of it when you're done. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you for all your work.I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this, but generally if you want to return to where you came from you append return to the ActivateWindow command.
You can edit home menu commands from the customisation screen. Find the home item, Click "Action" on the right. Choose "Custom Shortcut" down the bottom of the list. Then you can change the action to add ,return to it (dont forget the comma!).
e.g.
ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles,Return)
(2015-12-09, 00:01)sweetjones97 Wrote: is there a way to get more than 4 widgets for the main menus?Not sure what you mean. You can have an individual widget for every item. If you mean Custom widgets, there is no longer a need for them in the Jarvis version as you can select any path through the widget selection dialog.
(2015-12-09, 01:36)elchupete Wrote: Hi Jurial,Yes I do, but the current method through skinhelper is buggy and doesn't work properly. Once a fix gets figured out I will.
Do you have any plans to support the Movie Genre Icons selection/Studio Icons etc of Jarvis?

Will fix. Thanks. Knew there would be things I missed when changing the way the widget selection worked.

Using defaults, Dark with Dark dialogs. Thanks a lot for your help !
edit: Also Settings > Appearance > Startup window doesn't do anything no matter what I set? Kodi always starts in main menu.

@colbert -- should be fixed latest git. I'll look into the startup window setting.
*edit* -- sorry, didn't see that my push failed for some reason. Should be uploaded now.

Did you find the solution? I have the same problem and it reset to "wide" view wich is the banners.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Hustler1337 - 2015-12-14
Question for JurialMonkey:
With the release of Kodi 16 imminent, how long after the release of Kodi 16 should we expect the Arctic: Zephyr skin to be released(roughly)? I know it's currently in development as seen in your Github repo.
This skin is THE best skin to hit Kodi and I refuse to update Kodi until the skin is ready for Kodi 16
so would be great to get an ETA. Thanks for your amazing hard work on this clean, modern skin JM, it's much appreciated. Look forward to a reply and the release of the skin compatibility update.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr - allard1992 - 2015-12-14
Jurial,
Are you going release a Isengard final version? I'm stuck on Kodi Isendgard. So maybe you stopped Isengard but can you make a different versions in your GIT? Like Jarvis, Helix and Isengard.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr - beljim7419 - 2015-12-14
There already is an Isengard version in the git. It's two month old though.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr - konnerbllb - 2015-12-14
Is the latest isengard one on git the same one in the kodi skin repository?
RE: Arctic: Zephyr - dr.joaomarcelo - 2015-12-14
Hey Jurialmunkey, do you have plans to change the video OSD to something like the Eminence skin? By that i mean (mostly) have the progress bar visible all the time. I'm not crazy about the time stamp in the upper right corner either. I think it's integrated in the bottom video osd in eminence too, which i think it's better.
Anyway great work! Thanks

Stupid question: Is there a "how to use git" post?
Don't want to ruin my setup.
