I'm pretty sure there is not an official Matrix version of this yet.  You can get it running in Matrix, and from what I can tell everything works.  Here's a post I made awhile back on how to do that.

What is the font you use to show the movie/tv show title in bold on the home screen widget with info?

thanks for the help but i tried the rewrite version 0.5.51 and he still writes to me that, that the add-on installation failed. could I download an already rewritten zip somewhere?

I don't think so. Kodi 19 is still in beta, so if you aren't able to make these changes yourself, you're probably better off sticking with Kodi 18 and waiting until Kodi 19 is available and this skin is updated for it.

when I changed version="5.14.0" to version="5.15.0. I also had to change plugin.video.themoviedb.helper to version="4.0.77" to get AH to work

I've been using Zephyr 1 and 2 for many years now and I decided to try this one out.

I really love the look and colors... very nice work on this one! it looks slick and modern.

the little thing that I don't like is the view modes are limited.... I really love the many view mode of zephyr 2.... especially the Poster Wall one and Square Wall... I wish it was re-added to this Horizon skin.


RE: Arctic Horizon - Gerben321 - 2020-12-28

Love the looks of this skin. I however don't find the layouts very useful. I'm used to Eminence and love the long list. But in this skin there's a lot of wasted space in the list. Right now I use the list on the left and fanart on the right, but I use it for all the screens which isn't that diverse. Would love to see another list option that showed more options and is closer to the Eminence looks.

Also the OSD while playing is a little odd to use after Eminence. I love to press the subtitles button and get a dropdown. Right now all it does it browse through the available subtitles. Takes a lot of clicks to search online for new subtitles.


RE: Arctic Horizon - fergudog - 2020-12-29

Really love this skin, it let's me use Kodi like I envisoned it a long while ago, ie control most of it via the home screen via widgets rather than having to go into movie screen, etc...

There is one pet peeve I have with Kodi - it's not easy to continue watching a TV show. We run through shows like Friends and HIMYM and it would be ideal to have a button that continues from last watched. I'm not talking about the "up next" feature, because that only works while you watch a show, not when you come back to it another day (unless I'm missing something).

There's some workarounds like "In progress" TV shows which I'm using now, but they mostly work on "unwatched" status, which means you have to clear the watched status when you rewatch a show from the start, and it can't cope when you skip an episode. I recon, mostly when you want to continue, you want to continue from last watched, plain and simple.

I'd be happy to get my hands dirty, i had a poke around some of the scripts, not really quite sure how to get started, maybe in tmdbhelper in lib/kodi/library.py and store a variable that stores the next episode, not really quite sure how I filter for "lastplayed" using the code that's there.

Here's what I'm thinking:

I might be a little biased since I developed the TMDb TV Show scraper.  '-)

Both the Python scrapers are available from the Kodi add-on area to install.  Look in the INFORMATION PROVIDERS section.

Concerning existing libraries, are there any considerations for switching to your new Python scrapers?

This would be best handled in the Scrapers area of the forum:
