I hate how the skin looks with an ugly Fanart behind my widgets, BUT I love how it looks with a movie info page OPEN.

This looks ugly and pointless: https://i.imgur.com/74C7HR9.jpg
But this looks amazing! https://i.imgur.com/BJmfv5E.jpg

Please add the feature request to the github issues page:
https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arctic.zephyr.2/issues

That's acting as my todo list and I'm slowly working my way through things there.

another question

when i want to backup skin settings it shows an error message "skin helper backup : error while executing"

Solution?

thanks

Not a skin issue. I don't maintain that add-on.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Baxter300 - 2019-08-11

Is there a trick I’m missing to get the OSD to auto close that anyone could enlighten me to? I’ve got it set to 15 seconds in the video section but it still won’t close. I know this was working previously but I had to reinstall Kodi recently and it hasn’t worked since. I’m using a Shield if that makes any difference, and the auto close I’m referring to is when I press “ok” during video playback I want the play/pause/stop controls to vanish after a set time

Cheers

I’d also really like to see this implemented. I’d also love to have the end time indicator return for the pause screen

This is such a beautiful skin. I upgraded my libreelec install to Leia today just to get to use it. My father in law noticed me fiddling with it and commented on what a nice looking skin it was so you know you must be doing something right Smile

Hi, @jurialmunkey!
I installed you skin to see how it looks, and congratulations for this job, really beautiful!
I noticed a little "issue" with video info. This "issue" is with the size of poster, the way you show them is not in the original aspect, is a little cut out on the sides. You can see this better when have information in sides, like the words "the" and "season" in image bellow.

You may have did this on purpose, but I think you have space to show complete, and I think almost all poster have the same aspect.
Regards!

I'll update the repo tomorrow Wink

What's your screen resolution? The skin is designed for 16:9 resolutions
i.e. the standard for video: 720p (1280x720) (16:9), 1080p (1920x1080) (16:9), 4k (3840 x 2160) (16:9).

It looks like your screen is 16:10 which is not compatible with this skin.

Also, posters vary in aspect depending on source.
TheMovieDb and Fanart.tv use 1000x1500 (2:3)
TVDb uses 680x1000 [1020x1500] (17:25)

I use 17:25 poster aspect because it is the wider of the two and thus prevents cut-off text at the sides.
Cut-off posters indicates a screen resolution that is incompatible with the skin.

Do you have SkinHelper installed? Needs skinhelper to work.

Hi,

i read on your github you removed extendedinfo and replaced it with your TMDBHelper addon. How do i get this to work?

Install latest version of my skin and latest version of the TMDb Helper addon.
Enable Skin Settings > Miscellaneous > Choose info-dialog lists > Use script.extendedinfo
(I need to rename this setting to be "Use online info" as that's what it really does)
That's it.

The skin will use TMDb helper to fill any lists shown in the info dialog.
If you click on an item it will take you to the info page for that item (exactly the same as extended info).
If the script finds a match for a local library db title it will open the info page for the local item, otherwise it will look-up online info.

You can add an OMDb apikey (optional) to the TMDb Helper addon settings to get additional details from OMDb.
You can also add your own TMDb apikey (optional) to the settings to reduce the amount of rate limiting on requests.

If the online title and library title don't exactly match then the script decides that it is not in the library.
I'm looking for some ways to get better matching when there aren't exact matches.
With movies I can likely just match by imdbnumber - tvshows prove a little trickier though.

@jurialmunkey thanks for this helper tool very nice with some new to play with.

@drinfernoo will you maintain the TMDb Helper addon in the alpha repo also, would be nice if you would, thanks.

I really like the TMDBHelper and would like to see this on the repo, as it is a depedency.

@jurialmunkey:
Will you make the „online widgets“ selectable. I would select e. g. Recommendations but not Crew, Studio and Year.
And please add trailer to your TMDB helper and to your info dialog.

Definitely will all be selectable, just haven't got around to adding the options yet
