(2019-07-26, 01:52)jurialmunkey Wrote: Yeah you are right - I forgot that it opens locally for items with a dbid. The extendedinfo option just allows for showing items not in the library too.

If I recall correctly, the similar function of extendedinfo no longer works. I remember using it for something in AZ1 and I'm pretty sure it stopped working quite a while ago (which would explain its removal from ftv). I think it used trakt, which no longer functions correctly in extended info - only themoviedb stuff works in extendedinfo now.

Okay, but TMDB has recommendations in their api, too. Then the only ways are to fix this in extended info (but phil65 seems not to be active) or maybe add this to skin.helper.widgets?

Any way someone can do this? Maybe as a pull request in marcelveldt‘s repo?             

I'm currently working on a "TheMovieDB Helper" plugin which will provide skinners with access to TheMovieDb's API.
Ultimately I'm looking at providing a more skinner customisable approach that eventually will hopefully replace many of the parts in extendedinfo.
My Python skills are fairly average, so it is slow going and I'm learning a lot along the way - but the current state is looking promising.             

xml:
elif info == 'similartvshows':

        tvshow_id = None

        dbid = params.get("dbid")

        name = params.get("name")

        tmdb_id = params.get("tmdb_id")

        tvdb_id = params.get("tvdb_id")

        imdb_id = params.get("imdb_id")

        if tmdb_id:

            tvshow_id = tmdb_id

        elif dbid and int(dbid) > 0:

            tvdb_id = local_db.get_imdb_id("tvshow", dbid)

            if tvdb_id:

                tvshow_id = tmdb.get_show_tmdb_id(tvdb_id)

        elif tvdb_id:

            tvshow_id = tmdb.get_show_tmdb_id(tvdb_id)

        elif imdb_id:

            tvshow_id = tmdb.get_show_tmdb_id(imdb_id, "imdb_id")

        elif name:

            tvshow_id = tmdb.search_media(media_name=name,

                                          year="",

                                          media_type="tv")

        if tvshow_id:

            return tmdb.get_similar_tvshows(tvshow_id)

xml:
plugin://script.extendedinfo?info=similartvshows&&name=$INFO[ListItem.Label]

You can also use Small Landscape widgets to see info underneath the thumb.

What are you using as the widget?

(2019-07-27, 03:18)jurialmunkey Wrote: Fanart blur is available in Skin Settings > Background > Blur background.

(2019-07-27, 03:18)jurialmunkey Wrote: If you don't like clearart then why do you download it?
In the info dialog for the tvshow click "Manage" > "Select Art (Kodi)" > "Clearlogo" > "No art"
If you only have an option for local art, then you need to delete the clearlogo from the folder first.

(2019-07-27, 03:18)jurialmunkey Wrote: Maybe once I'm out of Alpha. Multiple fontsets are far too difficult to manage when making significant changes to the skin.

(2019-07-27, 03:18)jurialmunkey Wrote: Yeah vertical menu navigation still needs some work.
Back press reset is a good idea. Not sure of any way to get to the last item though. Vertical menu navigation is always going to be cumbersome because there isn't any completely intuitive way to navigate unlike horizontal menu layout.

(2019-07-27, 03:18)jurialmunkey Wrote: The problem is that Kodi overrides back button behaviour if something is playing and will instead always toggle fullscreen video/visualisation.
So if you make navigation dependent on the back button to get to the menu then you will get stuck inside the widget if something is playing.

(2019-07-27, 03:18)jurialmunkey Wrote: Yeah this is the advantage of only having one home menu layout. Having multiple home menu layouts mean some compromises have to be made in terms of navigation (or else manage massively complicated conditions).

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...is it possible for you to set the player to draw from the artist metadata for the clearlogo even on a compilation album? wasnt sure if it is an embedded kodi protocol or if you can tweak it on the skin.



Cheers, Keep up the great work!

@jurialmunkey  Also, can i make a little house keeping request on the info dialog under the collection/sets widget. Are you able to change the view order of items that appear in the collection to ascending release date order....



At the moment, the collections appear in random order and would be great if they appeared in order of the year it was released earliest to latest. 

Not sure if its possible, but are you also able to put the word 'collection' at the end of the collection/set description... i.e. above it reads Films in the Robert langdon... for it to appear 'Films in the [collection/set] collection' would put my ocd in check lol.

Thanks again for all your hard work, just donated to this awesome project!

Cheers,

Ryan

Would you be willing to accept a PR that added it in a friendly way?

I saw in the textures, an HDR icon. But I do not see it in the flags of the movies. How to make it appear on HDR files?

Hdr needs to be in filename. Kodi is unable to recognise hdr and atmos codecs due to a limitation in ffmpeg, which is used for decoding.

Thank you for your answer. I did the test following the instructions here:

But that does not work...
