I don't generally like movie sets because you can only pick one set per movie.  My collections share several of the same movies (i.e. The Departed is in both my Scorsese collection and in the Oscars collection).  However, I discovered I can still use the Super Favorites add-on, so problem solved.
As you can already browse on movies by a specific director, isn't it just easier to only use franchises as a collection specifier?
Because I mark them as favorites I’m able to attach artwork thumbnails to them, and also can incorporate them as widgets into my Home Screen.

This seems like something that is probably obvious so apologies if I've just overlooked it.

I have the Profile picture setting enabled. How/where is the option to upload my profile picture?

Many thanks.

Within Profiles Settings, if you click on the profile name, the option to put the image in the profile will appear

I use QUIT on my Shield Tv and it works great. Power off, exit, etc. don't work reliably in Android.


RE: Arctic Horizon - horizons1 - 2021-04-06

@jurialmunkey I'd like a clean random movie slideshow on my home page but without the INFO text. Can I comment this out of a widget somewhere without losing it everywhere?

RE: Arctic Horizon - proxymatt - 2021-04-06

I'm trying so hard to like this skin, but I just don't, it's too busy with widgets and so much screen space wasted. I've spent hours trying to customise it and I just hate it.

I just want Arctic Zypher to work in Kodi 19.

Please please please bring Arctic Zypher over to Kodi 19!

Stop crying here if you don't like this skin it's your personal taste. Just use Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded instead. 🤷🏻‍♂️

RE: Arctic Horizon - tekhop - 2021-04-06

Love the skin, there's only 1 feature I'm really missing (actually I miss this feature in all skins I tried for kodi19): I'd love to have a "what's on" widget for live tv, like there was in Xperience1080 skin, a 2/3 rows widget showing a list of tv channels from simple iptv client and what's playing now & next. I know it's just 1 click to get to tv channels, but it would be better looking in main interface 😀

Also, currently if I have 3 rows of buttons the only way to avoid scrolling up/down for the third row is by using icons vis in all widgets, if I set any other visualization the buttons are too big to fit in one screen.
Probably adding the option to remove text over widgets (like in arctic zephyr reloaded) would save just the needed space to have 3 rows of bigger buttons to fit the space without scrolling.

Anyway, keep up the good work, this is by far the best looking skin for v19 😀 made me decide to stay with it even when my all time favourite xperience1080 will be ported to 19!


RE: Arctic Horizon - Kaisho - 2021-04-06

Love the skin, but I'd like to increase the size of the posters, can someone point me in the direction of which xml file(s) I would need to edit?

Nevermind, found where to change it. Smile

Could you post comparison screenshots so we can see if that's a potential change some of us may like to implement also?

I certainly will if I manage to get the posters to display correctly. Increasing the poster size pushes the bottom of the posters off the bottom of the screen so I need to work out how to decrease the size, or remove, the top information panel to compensate. Coding isn't my 'forte' so may take me a while! Big Grin
