add 1.) very nice feature. in my settings the setting for this is kinda invisible



also would it be possible to make the menu bar look the same with this feature enables as if is was disabled? if the feature is enabled the little translucent bar on the bottom is missing, where the submenu later pops up.


i also found another little detail about the colored media flags. in global search the media flags are also cut of

I realize that there are still a lot of you who have not made the switch to Matrix yet.  Given this, I have uploaded version 3.2.130 of Amber for Leia to GitHub and the Amber repo for Leia.  This version includes all of the new features/fixes that I have done to the Matrix version.

When you say "Bring up to par with Matrix version", would I lose any of my settings if I upgrade manually as I normally do?
Sorry for the dumb question. I just want to make sure.

Cheers!

If I set a reminder in the EPG Guide view, I get a cool little bell icon as the indicator. When a show is actively recording, it has a red circle to indicate it's recording. However when I set a recording timer for the future, I can see the title of the show shift over to make room for the icon - but nothing is displayed.

I tried the latest version from GIT (3.4.15) but it was still an issue. Digging through the images it seems it should be using the "PVR-HasTimer" image. Checking the XML's for references, it appears it's classed in the "includes_variables.xml" file, but never used in the "includes_Media.xml". So I just added a line (under line #627) in the Includes_Variables.xml for it:

<value condition="ListItem.HasTimer">img/PVR-HasTimer.png</value>

This icon now displays. I just wanted to flag this one, as I'm unsure if there's other areas this needs reference to work fully as intended.

Cheers,

Mungo.

Thank you @bsoriano, I just installed the update.

I haven't checked everything yet, but here's what I noticed.

Show end time : Afficher l'heure de fin

For episodes of not viewed TV Shows it is good but for those already view, the end time is not displayed. I have this : (ENDS AT $INFO[LISTITEM. ENDTIME])

Another thing observed with the Goto function while playing a video. Before, we could use it directly (or by being in the OSD) by entering a time and validating with OK to access it quickly.
With this update, we can no longer use this Goto function from the OSD. She can only be used by entering the time directly but no longer with the OSD displayed.

Something else about displaying a flag. In the TV Shows and Episodes List view, the personal rating display flag is a little too low :


Last bug I noticed, for some menu items, in the configuration of some submenus, the texts overlap when they scroll :


There you go, I hope I didn't take too long.

@billyrene , I am not sure why the setting labele would not show up for you.  I checked and the strings file is updated on GitHub.

I like your suggestion of having the menu without the submenu look like it did originally.  I changed it a bit to look like when there are no submenu items.  So, the latest from GitHub looks like this:



I think it looks more symmetrical this way.  Thank you for the request.

I also fixed the flags positioning in Global Search.  Thanks for pointing this out, since I almost never use Global Search and overlooked this.  It now looks like this:


Please let me know if now the issues are fixed.  Thanks.
