I'm running Libreelec on a rpi3, not sure if that's the issue. The bug happens when transitioning from a Movie Widget to Tv show widget or btwn the different movies, and during the auto transition briefly.. I'll try and recache and compress the cache images.

Feature Request:
Not sure if this can be implemented because the limitations of kodi. Would it be possible to show fan art/poster in the return position shown in image 1

illustrated image created with keynotes(macOS)


current return positon 



Thanks

I don't think it's possible.

I usually just disable parent folder items in library settings.

Love the setup for the music player. Is there a way you could have the player draw clearlogo artwork from artist. I have a lot of compilation albums and the clearlogo seems to draw from the album data (Various Artists).


Works fine when its an actual album from the artist so i assume it pulls the metadata from album info...



Cheers, Keep up the great work!

Where do those colorful texts come from? Is that some kind of lyric, or just a picture?

Do you have a TMDB and Fanart.tv API key as well as omdb? Skin Helper imposes a delay to retrieving the ratings (cached or not) if you don't have all three api keys. This delay is to avoid overloading webservers.

Ideally skin helper would retrieve cached info immediately and only impose the delay on web lookups. Unfortunately, there isn't anyone that has put their hand up to contribute to skin helper in marcelveldt's absence, so this issue is unlikely to be improved any time soon. Until someone chips in to improve the code then it is what it is.

Thanks @jurialmunkey I've done as you suggest and this has improved it although loading the cached versions takes longer than I would have expected. Other info (fanart/posters, imdb rating etc) all load instantly but the other rating can take a second or 2 to appear (but then they're quick again for a re-visit as presumably they're cached in mem). I think this is just an optimisation issue, possibly in metadatautils, as its running on a high powered intel NUC with NVME SSD. I have confirmed they are being cached in the sqlite simplacache db and I also checked out the code to see there is indeed a delay imposed without your own API keys. The metadatautils code does this seperately for each API, but I have not looked at the code enough to understand why the delay affects all 3 despite some having a personal API key - probably code somewhere is waiting on gathering all of them before returning. I'm not a python expert and I only took a quick look.

Anyway, thanks for the tip (don't know if it would be worth highlighting on post 1 in the ratings instructions that using all 3 API's may speed ratings loading?)

I have one minor observation with the skin - is it possible to have the settings menu add the additional libreelec specific settings menu? At present any libreelec users need to change skins to access this settings menu (ie, for software updates).

Kodi auto updates widgets after you watch something.

Kodi auto updates widgets after you watch something.

By default it doesn't. It only does this if I start kodi from fresh or I select reload skin. . If I have it idling it doesn't do anything. Is there a setting I can confirm?
