I was experiencing the initialising skin issue on my vero 4K and ended up deleting skin.shortcuts cache in Kodi’s user data folder which fixed it for me.

Which cache? Deleting the skin.shortcuts folder doesn't help. This only deletes all my menu customizations (as expexted). 🤷🏻‍♂️


The log maybe hints at a possible problem with startup.xml
There it shows:

"WARNING: CApplication::Initialize - startup.xml taints init process"


RE: Arctic Horizon - Qirat77 - 2020-12-06

That’s the folder I meant. Deleting it worked for me as I think settings got corrupted.

This has indeed to do with something in arctic horizon s startup.xml. I replaced it with the startup.xml from the build before and the skin loads instantly as fast as before. 🤔


RE: Arctic Horizon - GuiZ - 2020-12-07

Hello,

I've an error with Netflix addon while I'm trying to search a movie or a TVShow with the search fonction.
 For exemple:  ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://plugin.video.netflix/directory/search/search/tenet/
Work nice for local content but not for Netflix.
Same problem with AZ2.

Tell me if you need a full debug log.

Thank in advance,

No need to do that. You can turn off the waiting for tmdbhelper to init in skin settings.
Skin Settings > Lists and Other > Wait for TMDbHelper on splash screen

All it does is wait for tmdbhelper to start before opening home because it will help widgets to load better if we wait for services to start first rather than trying to load everything all at once.

Thx for the explanation, makes sense. Did not see this new option. Works as fast as before when disabled. 😎👌

@jurialmunkey , I am trying to stop using any skin helper service related addons in the Amber skin.  Are you OK with me adapting your color picker code to use in Amber? That will be one less dependency.  Thank you for considering my request.  

Regards,

Bart

RE: Arctic Horizon - Baubas - 2020-12-09

On the Home Menu where the widgets are located, near the bottom, there is the day/date/year and under that there is a info logo with my Shield TV ip and the Arctic Horizon current firmware number. Is there a way to change or remove the info under the day/date/year?


RE: Arctic Horizon - Baubas - 2020-12-09

Also, is there a way to remove the star ratings from all media (TV/Movies)?


RE: Arctic Horizon - Baubas - 2020-12-09

Sorry for all the questions. Can I change the mountain image that appears as a default on most screens?
