RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - horizons1 - 2019-06-22

@jurialmunkey 

Great skin. I've been using Fuse and noticed something strange after I installed the Alpha of AZ2 on my Shield. I was using the combination below to keep the song info/album cover/lyrics onscreen when playing music. It seemed to work right in AZ2 in Windows but after installing on the Shield I only see the fullscreen music for a split second before AZ2 returns to the playlist screen (unless I manually toggle to fullscreen mode.)

<songinfoduration>6000</songinfoduration> added to advancedsettings.xml in the userdata folder

Created new Custom_FullScreenMusic.xml with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<window type="dialog" id="1199">
    <allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
    <onload condition="!Window.IsActive(visualisation)">FullScreen</onload>
    <visible>Player.HasAudio + !Integer.IsEqual(MusicPlayer.Time,0)</visible>
    <controls />
</window>

I'm thinking maybe an id conflict preventing this custom page to take over? Is there a setting in AZ2 that this code conflicts with?

Just noticed that episode info not showing next to the episode thumbnail (all my media info is scraped from local *. nfo file). Is this a known issue? Image

On the Info Wall view with movies, it does not show any rating.
It's the screen with on the left hand 8 movies posters, right top the fanart and bottom right the title, run time and plot.
I do have the additional config for the rottentomatoes and IMDb score which does show in other views.
Would it be possible to add it?
@jurialmunkey would it be possible to take a look at this?

Views with the landscape art media info don't show ratings as there isn't enough horizontal space to show all ratings.
If you want ratings use either Showcase or Media Info 2.

A visual feedback would be nice to know whether Kodi received the signal. It could be right in the center of the screen or one of the upper corners.

Another thing, when you are in the detailed info screen of a currently running or previous programme could you add an option to restart this programme. This restart feature is supported by Zattoo for example.

Is there another skin with this feature for restarting the show? I've never encountered it before so I dont know how it's implemented.  
Indeed there is. Beatmasterrs' Arctic Zephyr - Leia Mod has this feature included. I think you can find it in the includes.xml under "DialogPvrInfoNavigationNew".


Thanks! These instructions are really helpful. Big Grin

Can you please test latest version 0.9.36-a4 and confirm that I've added the correct button.

Very pleased keep up the good work @jurialmunkey


Thanks! Is there a skin that currently has a flag for the ALAC codec?
Hoping that I can take it from another skin rather than creating my own.

Also, I like these views from Andromeda:

Works with banners and cd covers too

This overview of the actors is nice too

Would something like these fit in your design philosophy?

For the Sets/Collections info page: can you create a [Request] on the github issues page?
I use the issues page as my todo list and I'm slowing working my way through it.
https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arctic.zephyr.2/issues

For the poster list view: I will probably be adding some sort of poster/episode list view at some stage. Additional views are not really priority at the moment though!

For cast list: I actually wanted to have a double column or row type display, but unfortunately there isn't any way to override control of a panel so that I can link to extended info. It needs to be single row or column list to do that.

Currently if you try to adjust subtitle offset the OSD info bar will block the subtitles so you can't see them.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the bug report. I'll look into it. On my todo list:

As a long time pvr user, one issue you’ve solved for me - in the osd at least - is the duplication of programme synopsis within the programme title field, an unfortunate side effect of using OTA grabbers with the current stable version of tvheadend. Thank you! I’m hoping it’s possible to carry the separation of the two fields over into the main pvr guide.
Also, are you planning to offer an option to substitute the information section - currently always displayed on the right of the osd - with the upcoming programme instead?
Taking this one step further, is it technically possible to scroll through upcoming programmes on a particular channel via the osd (a la sky) and press ‘i’ on upcoming programmes to display programme information? If so, I’d love to see this happen, requiring the user to manually select programme information as and when needed, rather than always being on display (which is a nice idea but slightly detracts from the aesthetic in my opinion).

A random request...could lists in local media (e.g media info 2) start scrolling from the middle rather than the bottom, allowing my eyes to remain in the middle of the screen (for the majority of the time) when scrolling through my library.

Thanks again for the amazing work, and hope this is useful feedback regardless of whether you choose to implement any of this.

Thanks!

Fixing the double-up plot issue is problematic because for other pvr server/client setups the field that tvheadend incorrectly populates is the epgeventtitle and this field is meant to contain additional information about the program: for instance, in a football match it will show which teams are playing.

I use tvheadend myself and I don't experience this double-up issue - but I guess it depends on country/region (or maybe settings). I have had other users report this issue though. I have an idea for a fix, so I'll look into it.

For osd showing next programme info, this is already possible (and you can also scroll through). You need to bind a button/key to
ActivateWindow(pvrchannelguide)
By default, this is bound to the "G" key on keyboard.
Keymap Editor add-on makes it really easy to bind commands to your remote:
https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Keymap_Editor

Another way you can open pvrchannelguide is by opening osd controls and then pressing up to open the special channel picker window. In this window, pressing right/left will then open pvrchannelguide.

For scrolling lists. I have considered using a fixed list before, but I don't really like the way that kodi handles them. I'll consider it as an option.

There is a custom window ("Custom_Overlay.xml") with the id 1199 already.

I'm not really sure why you are doing this though as there is already a setting in the skin for Auto Music Vis:
Skin Settings > Video / Music > Automatically open visualisation after starting a song.

You can see what this setting does in this window (which is practically the same as what you are trying to do)

Works fine for me. You mustn't have a plot field filled.

RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Comma - 2019-06-23

Just playing around, I was curious to see how it would look like with colour ratings and must say I kind of like it, its also easier to read them I think.
If I had any skinning skills I would try to put the imdb 250 between the Oscar and metacritic logo.

@horizons1 and @jurialmunkey

A great thank you for fixing the lag in video when not in full screen.
Have been annoyed by this issue a long time.


Arctic: Zephyr 2 - joostzilla - 2019-06-23

@jurialmunkey

To be honest I have to say that I found the latest TV osd quite crowded on the screen.
The first version where there was only a row of channel logo's and one channel focused visible was so perfect on screen.
Could you please make that an user option?

Also the description always showing could be optional.
Especially when skipping back/forward. The programme description is not needed at that moment imho.
So in short I liked the former version more.
