RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - darktanis - 2019-09-21

Hi guys, I just have 2 questions:

1.- Is it possible to translate the message "Ends", when inside a video the skin tells you at what exact time the video will end?
2.- Is it possible to somehow add a repository in my Kodi so Tmdb helper can autoupdate? So far im downloading the zip and manually installing every so often.

Thanks in advance for the help. I gotta say, it might be my first post in this forum, but Im a Zephyr user since the first version, and to me, it's by far the best skin/developer and community.

Regards!

That's an awesome background! Do you have a link for that?   
Not the original, which was in colour, no. I've tweaked it to suite the dark theme of AZ2 Smile. I add my own icons in the TV screen and reflection layer etc. but I've uploaded the tweaked template image for you here

Add the repository linked in OP in order to receive updates to both the skin and TMDb Helper add-on.

JM, could you do a view, like I mentioned here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=339791&pid=2886113#pid2886113, or Is is possible to recreate it ourselfs with the current options and widgets?

Looks like something else than AZ2 entirely. Maybe a Disney+ theme will come out at some point?

This seriously looks like AuraMOD Big Grin

Yes, somebody else mentioned that too Smile

Did they secretly look at JM's skinning portfolio? Wink

it is something else ofcourse, but I feel it could be used as an inspiration for another AZ:2 view. Like for the movies homepage, or for a new user created hub.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - drinfernoo - 2019-09-23

I do really like those "category widget"-style ones, and the "spotlight" there could possibly be one item at a time as a banner view? I don't know off hand how well those dimensions lay out, but maybe.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Sjors125 - 2019-09-23

Yes exactly. Smile 

Curious what the King of Skinning thinks about it.

Maybe you should add a condition on info is shown and go back to old label layout in that case (time/end goes bottom middle and title goes where info shows it.

I try to avoid having information move about on screen because it is confusing - so I wouldn't want to have the end time change position.

The double-up has been a problem right from the start, which is why I was very hesitant to make this change in the first place. If I leave the space blank, it looks odd. If I add the same info it is redundant. If I move the end-time there then the end time moves about the screen. If I remove the end time from top right, then people without an info button whinge.


(2019-09-14, 19:15)loeffelpan Wrote: Another question:
Why didn't you use "|" as seperator for title info label as anywhere else in your skin?
Using "dot" seems misplaced.
Because it is difficult to use a user-set colour (i.e. the highlight colour) within a label variable and it looks odd if the "|" is left as white text. So I use a dot in that space so that I don't need to do a hack.

OK, I got this thing with the dot.
For the double thing: Then you can keep the time in the upper right corner but leave the space blank when info is active? The the information is not moving around on the screen and isn‘t shown twice.

Maybe a good compromise.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - User 426612 - 2019-09-23

Spotted a little bug.
Sometimes, when unfocussing a widget, the studio label in bottom left doesn‘t disappear.
It keeps there even when selecting a different main menu item (e. g. Video-Addons).

Can you please take a look?


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - User 426612 - 2019-09-23

I noticed, that in list view the poster is scaled just to the height of the used artwork.
In some Video-Addons there is a landscape artwork used as poster (mostly with 16:9 aspect).

Is it possible, that you respect height and width to scale a poster (or whatever is used as poster)?


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - MrOns - 2019-09-24

I've tried to add the various poster views to Advanced Emulator Launcher by editing the xml files found in the '1080i' folder - I've just been adding the views from the 'myvideonav.xml' file, and amending what id's I can find. I'm guessing it's a little more complicated than that, as although I've managed to affect certain things, I can't get any of the views to show up. 

Am I just editing the wrong xml file, or am I way out of my depth? Hopefully I'm just missing some small thing, but does anyone know what I need to edit to get them in there?

Thanks again.
