Please ensure that you have your settings like so (just look at the alphabet strip related ones and the embuary helper one): That did the trick. I had a feeling it might have something to do with one of the helper addons. That must have gotten switched during an update or something since it had been working. Thanks!

Please ensure that you have your settings like so (just look at the alphabet strip related ones and the embuary helper one): @crazyhands911, I am glad it is working now for you. What happened is that in a recent update I made the use of the helper addons completely optional, with the default to NOT use them. My apologies for the unwanted behavior.

The only thing that comes to mind is that when an item is playing and you are in the home screen, Amber tries to show fanart related to that item, including extra fanart. If there is no multiple fanart for the item loaded in the db, Amber tries to find it in an /extrafanart/ folder. This seems to be giving an error with the PVR client that you are using. RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - G0mez - 2021-01-28 I was wondering that previously it was simplier to pop up Subtitles and video settings OSD menu just simply moving up. As now it requires action/enter key to be pressed to show that menu. Think it got changed cause mouse was interfering it or something. So would it be possible to make option for it to amber settings? On android it was kinda more simple and faster to use menu then.

On android it was kinda more simple and faster to use menu then. @G0mez , I understand it was simpler that way, but the new way works well for both keyboard and mouse users. I am not planning on changing that or adding the old behavior as an option. My apologies. Regards, Bart RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - G0mez - 2021-01-29 Should have been more specific that using gaming controller on android tv but it's ok, can live with it :} RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - bsoriano - 2021-01-30 Hello all, I have uploaded versions 3.2.126 (Leia) and 3.4.13 (Matrix) to the Amber repos (these versions were already on GitHub). The main changes are: 1. Icon only vertical menu/submenu. Amber now supports an icon only vertical menu/submenu. The skin includes icons for the default menu and submenu items, but you can choose your own icons for the menu and submenu items. The new setting for icon only menu is here: And the menu/submenu look like this: As you can see from the above 2 screenshots, you can have the menu item/submenu item label(s) show up. This is controlled by the setting "Show Menu Item Name" that appears when you enable icon only menu. The label can be shown in the title bar, as in the above two screenshots, or below the title bar. The setting for this is "Show Item Name in Top Bar", which appears if you enable "Show Menu Item Name". This is how the label looks below the top bar: As I mentioned before, you can choose you own icon for each menu item/submenu item, when you configure the menu/shelves. The configuration dialog now also shows you what the icon is for the menu/submenu item: 2. "High" position for shelves. Amber now allows for the shelves to be in a High postion. This is only useful in the vertical menu, in particular if you have the menu configured so that the top item is the one always selected (you can do this by having a non static, no wraparound navigation vertical menu that starts at the first item). You can configure this like so: And it looks like this: It is important to note that if the shelves are in the high position, the menu/submenu item label will only show up in the top bar, not below it. 3. Video Lyrics. If you have script.cu.lrclyrics as your lyrics addon in Amber, you can enable the Video Lyrics mod created by @manfeed . The setting is here: And the result is this: 4. Playing whole albums from shelves is optional. Before, if you had script.playalbum installed and enabled in your system, and you clicked on an album in a shelf, the album would start playing immediately. This is now optional, and the default is NOT to play whole albums from shelves. You can find the new setting here: 5. Backgrounds can be animated with Ken Burns effect. You can now have the backgrounds be animated with a Ken Burns effect (panning and zooming). You can find the new setting here: Please note that this setting is global, so once activated, ALL backgrounds are animated. 6. Miscellanous Fixes. Some additional fixes were completed, such as (list is not comprehensive): - Overlapping text in plot for List and Panel type views when auto scrolling is enabled. - Unneeded additional seek slider in the Video OSD - Positioning fixes for the info line Since some of these changes are big (icon menu, shelves in high position), please test thoroughly and let me know if you find any issues. Thanks. NOTE: If you enable the icon only menu and you are not seeing the icons, you might need to remove the file "script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml" from the skin's 1080i folder. If this does not solve the issue for you, unfortunately you will have to go to the <userdata>\addon_data\script.skinshortcuts folder in you system and delete all files that have "amber" in the file name. This has the undesired effect of resetting all your menu/submenu/shelves configuration. I have not been able to determine why this is needed for some people, but not for others.

This seems to be giving an error with the PVR client that you are using. @bsoriano finally fixed it, i assume it was script.skinvariable related reinstalled with matrix version, plus installed other dependent addons shown under amber settings (though i do not think this is related) and no more problem to load the shelves.

This is because the skin playlist that this is based on has a limit of 25. I went ahead and increased the limit where it made sense to 100. Please be aware that if you do not set a limit when you configure your shelves, some of these shelves will load slower than before, since they will be loading a lot more items before the shelf is displayed. Thanks. The changes are on GitHub only at this time.
