RE: Arctic Fuse - Ersan191 - 2023-09-29

Also a couple more things since I can't edit replies apparently.

Having an option to switch to a menu (home/movies/tvshows/etc) by hovering over it instead of actually selecting it would be nice.

Is there any way to get it to reset/forget the position of all the widgets back to the first item when returning home or switching to a new menu/tab?  It remembers where you were in the list by default.

And finally is there any particular reason that the "custom" item type can't have multiple widgets?

Aside from these minor quibbles this is the perfect skin for me.

It's difficult because these are separate windows.

It only appears like it is all one window due to a trick with static positioning of some elements. When you click a side item, it's not an animation just sliding new elements into place -- it's actually the old window closing and the new one opening -- and that's a problem because the focus gets stolen from the menu.

Not currently but this can be added.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean? Custom item can be set to whatever you like.

If you want it to be a Custom Hub similar to the Movies/TV/Music/PVR ones then set the action to Hub > Custom Hub (there's four) and set the Hub window up however you like

I must say, I think this is the best version! It feels faster and more responsive than before. I need to backup this one.


RE: Arctic Fuse - Ersan191 - 2023-09-30

Got it, thanks! I found the custom hubs about 30 seconds after I posted.

Hey. First of all, this skin it's great. I've used Horizon 2 before, but this one suits me better.

However, I want to ask if it is possible to somehow set a default source for items in Spotlight. I use a video add-on through which I watch movies/series. Now, when I select, for example some movie from Spotlight widget, it opens a window and the only choice is to play the movie via UPnP. Is it possible to set it to directly offer me streams from the video add-on I use to watch movies/series?

You can change the spotlight widget to point to a path supplied by your addon of choice.
Skin Settings > Menu > Configure Home > Spotlight

Alternatively, the default spotlight widget uses TMDbHelper. You can setup TMDbHelper to use "Player" files which allow it to interface with other addons. TMDbHelper comes bundled with some players (e.g. Netflix) but it sounds like you dont have any of the included addons.

You can make your own player files via the GUI using the templates in TMDbHelper's player settings if you're feeling game (or google is your friend because there's a good chance someone has already made their own). And there's more (very) detailed information on the wiki, which, even if you don't make your own, can be useful to tweak a pre-existing player to exactly what you need

One last question, is the 'bookmarks and chapters' section when you press down from the OSD something that can be disabled in Kodi settings or is it part of the skin itself?  Most of my videos do not have chapters so it just shows a blank box and I'd like to disable it.

Hoping that Spotlight can be limit to 20 or below to disable the "next page" item.

You can turn off the next page item for TMDbHelper widgets in its settings.

It's a native Kodi window but the navigation up/down to the different windows is defined by the skin.

I too would like to disable this. Or at least switch it so that when you press down from the OSD menu it goes to the playlist then on the second down press it goes to the actors list instead of showing bookmarks. I would prefer to be able to disable bookmarks or chapters list altogether since it's always just blank but if it has to be there I would prefer it to be the last down press in the navigation sequence if possible.

You can turn off the next page item for TMDbHelper widgets in its settings.

Works only on regular widgets not in spotlight mode.

You're missing the &widget=true param. You can add it by customising the path.

EDIT: I note that Skinshortcuts is not pre-filling the keyboard with the original path. Seems there is something weird in skinshortcuts about that method of setting of setting a widget separately because it isn't behaving how I'd expect. I'll see if I can find a workaround.

It's working. But "next page" item also disabled in the submenu I created. Is there a code like this I need to add to just limit it to 20 or 10?

EDIT: Or I just need to remove the &widget=true in the submenu I created. 😅

I have Discover hub and I want all my widgets there to have a "next page" item. If I remove the &widget=true, does it behave differently?
