Does the skin update automaticaly when I install it from your repo?

If you installed skin "install from repository" and not via "from zip" within kodi than yes.

I second this. The Text "No information available" does only make sense if you focus an item of a movie or tv-show widget. However, I think it is generally dispensable. Instead you could show the name of the entry of the main menu which you focus. Currently this is shown in in the middle of the screen. But this does not look too good, especially if you also have a fanart in the background for the respective entry. So better place it wher you currently show the "No information avaible" text.

It’s will be great if you add this option

I know, i stopped adjustments there a while back, till i know how i wanted it.
- currently

clear
- when hommenutiles is used : show choosen art
unclear, but i have that in mind
- when hommenutiles is used menupanel is not slided out : keep widget art and infos
- when hommenutiles is used menupanel is slided out : change to show menuitem art and infos

The feature works correctly outside of the Music Hub. Does anyone else noticed that or is it something local in my installation that I need to fix?

I'll take a look.
Sidenote : music HUB is also WIP, i am also aware of some label overlay each other in currentlyplaying bar, beside some other missing infos

Movies and tv cast & similar in videoinfo
Take long time to load i there any option to get cast&similar thumbs from local library?

RE: S W A N (alpha , updated feb-2021) - Aaiemron - 2021-02-16

If I select "Landscape" as a Layout in the home widgets in "Next Up", I don't see the original Landscape picture, but a picture of a scene of the episode I watch.
Is it possible to change that? I prefer the original Landscape picture.

This is what I see now:

RE: S W A N (alpha , updated feb-2021) - Daviddew - 2021-02-23

Would you consider adding an option to search for Movies and Shows through TMDB Helper?

Currently no, as it relys to a script to fill the cast container.
If i will do the native container (id 50), i cant use custom onclick actions ,
i think about another workaround , and test it later.
But no Promise if it'll be done/happen soon.

it's intented to show the episode thumb as widget artwork for episodes.
Maybe optional at later state, also no promise. Sorry.

Thanks.

I think about add some flags for Home, but its not in Progress, just had it on ToDo List.
Same count for Optional "Localized" MPAA Ratings, in generell (home and library ), which will be rely on a prefix.

If possible I will look forward to it!) I would be very happy if something like this ever appears ...) In general, I really like this skin, especially with the rounded edge)

I just installed the skin on kodi 18.9 and I can't access the menu or settings. How do I navigate to settings?
I see a menu on the left side but unable to navigate via keyboard or mouse. No warning that says I need a remote of some kind.
I'm on a pc. I tried it on kodi 19 it worked but was forced to go back to kodi 18 for other reasons. This skin is lovely but so far I can't use it.
Is this only for Kodi 19? What am I missing. Lots of questions but I'm confused.

Glad you found the intended way ;-)
I will add a adfitional way for 'fresh starters' .
Also an optional Navigation behaviour for the home menu sometime soon.

I got it in mind, no timeframe when it'll find a way in.

If you refer to some image resource addons
than i just can say maybe.
I put it on to do as optional setting.
But will also not happen soon.

Currently my time is very limited ( nearly 0 ) again and the discrepancy/gap
between what i like to do and the time i have to do what i want is very high.
But it is how it is.

RE: S W A N (alpha , updated feb-2021) - kow1234 - 2021-03-05

@mardukL, I had the same issue with slow loading of the cast. I ended up adding a skin setting to show only local info in the video info dialog, and when that setting is active, I show the cast using container 50 with its default onclick, which searches in the local library.
