There might be others, but I'm not sure what offhand.  Those are the two I have that present a problem here.

@VonMagnum , the changes for this are already on GitHub.  For this to work, you need the addon script.embuary.helper, which you can get from the Kodi repo.

So, if you are on Android and have script.embuary.helper, there is a new option in Xonfluence's skin settings:



If you enable that, then every time Xonfluence starts playing a video with AVI extension or WMV extension, it will disable hardware acceleration.  It will set hw acceleration to whatever value it had before you started playing the video when you stop playing it.

Please test and let me know how it is working for you.  Thanks.

Bart

No, it doesn't appear to work.  I installed the script.embruary.helper and checked the box and tested it on an .avi file that is choppy with hardware acceleration on and it made no difference.  If I manually turned it off, it was smooth as silk.

Edit:  I take that last part back.  That weird choppy pause (different from the video acceleration thing) seems to come and go at times still too (no idea what's causing it, but switching to Confluence instead makes it go away 100%).

My Nvidia Shield doesn’t seem to have that problem with the skin and odd pauses, but it also doesn’t really get choppy video with .AVI either way, so I can’t really test that aspect either on that device. It’s my 2nd gen FireTV 4K that has both issues.

THANKS Bart! You are awesome. I'd really like to help out but unfortunately I'm not running Matrix yet at all, not even for testing.

Hopefully someone will jump in here and test for you on Matrix

I'm now starting the process of moving to Matrix, firstly with a Kodi portable installation.

If you want to use/see favourites, or video node stats, you need to enable the addons in Xonfluence's skin settings

I have a stupid question I can't enable the Favourites addon because with a fresh install of Kodi, it's no longer installed. So how should script.favourites now be installed? I tried installing it from https://kodi.tv/addon/libraries/favourites-script but that zip complains about python (I guess it's not the Matrix version).

THANKS

I enabled Favorites in Skin Settings > Scripts > Supported Addons and Scripts > Enable Favourites Script (bolded for other users to find) and I immediately got the pop up dialog to prompt me to install it. So yes it is now working perfectly.

THANKS

I do have one personal request and I'll post it later when I find the original request to Helly quite some time ago and you can assess if you think it's reasonable.

After updating to Kodi Krypton, and to Xonfluence v3.3.17, and now having used it a while, I just wanted to report what seem to be some issues, or at the very least changed behaviour compared to Xonfluence running on Kodi Jarvis.

* When jumping forward or back in a video the Progress Bar, Codec Info, Player Controls, etc are not displayed.
It is no longer possible to easily see the video duration like before, or easily see where you are jumping to in the video.
Only a mini OSD displayed in the bottom right hand corner, as follows:



- NB: in all cases the option "Enable original popup confluence seekbar" is DISABLED for these tests.


*A similar issue also occurs when the "Enable video OSD start playing introduction" is ENABLED.
Only a limited OSD is displayed with the Title and Codec Info, but no Progress Bar, Player Controls, etc, as follows:

(2021-05-05, 09:27)jmh2002 Wrote: Hi Bart, here's my personal request for you to consider. It might be a bit confusing to explain. But it refers to the update of Kodi to Krypton and Xonfluence to v3.3.17

I posted about it here (way back in April 2017!): https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=346302&pid=2578028#pid2578028 and Helly made a number of fixes in v3.3.18 here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=346302&pid=2586088#pid2586088

But something that didn't get fixed and was then stated as the (new?) expected behaviour was a big change to the way the OSD progress/seek bar worked - it was made to be a very small size at the bottom right (or the top right if you have set: Skin Settings > General > Global options > Enable original confluence popup seek bar)

Prior to Krypton / v3.3.17 it was possible for the full size OSD progress/seek bar (plus Title, Duration, Codec Info, etc, but without buttons) to be displayed, both when seeking as well as when starting a video (if you have set: Skin Settings > General > Video OSD settings > Enable video OSD start playing introduction)

It would be great if it was possible to have the option of this full size OSD available again in these cases please.

Here's a current screenshot showing how it should look.
(this OSD still exists and is available from the "I" keyboard shortcut - it's just not used anymore in the above cases).

THANKS!
