I've attached a screenshot to show you how the "OK" button is not present when trying to select artwork. I've tried it n other skins and they all work fine.I mentioned this to you previously, but I think you couldn't replicate it. Sometimes it would work for me, but now it doesn't at all.

@shedrock, thanks. I fixed that, do you have the latest from Github? Please confirm. I am away from my development environment until Thursday. When I return, I will check this again on Leia. In Matrix I am sure this is fixed.

Regards,

Bart

speaking of searches. is it possible to make this search more appealing?


maybe even something like thisor this

i kinda like the fact that the search from the side bar also gives results for movie and tv show plot
@billyrene , I cannot make the search look like the first screenshot, since Kodi does not provide any info to the skin on the items in the search result.  I could make that search look like your second screenshot, but that would lose the ability to provide results from movie/tv show/episode plots.  Perhaps I could bring up a small dialog asking you to choose between default search results and enhanced search results.  Default would include plot search results, enhanced would not.  What do you think? Please let me know.  Thanks.

Regards,

Bart
thanks very much but i thinks it's ok. i'll just use the search according to my needed results Smile btw do you maybe know the command for the search in the sidebar? just so one can access it from other places also like a submmenu shortcut

also could you please make the popup window with the result for both the global search and the the sidebar search center screen? the sidebar search popup is offset to the left and the global search to the right Smile

@billyrene, thanks for the additional feedback. I will fix the positioning of the dialogs.

Regards,

Bart

1. I cannot replicate the issue of end time not shown for watched episodes.  Where are you seeing this? A complete screenshot would be very helpful.
Thank you @bsoriano.
I sent you the screenshots in PM.

I did a test with Estuary and the Goto function works fine from the displayed OSD with the Info button.
On the other hand, in Amber 3.2.130, the Goto function does not work from the displayed OSD with the Info button.
 
(2021-04-17, 19:13)bsoriano Wrote: 3.  I cannot replicate the issue of the flags, since in this latest version the user rating flag is not shown.  In what view is this?
It's in List view.
The flag is displayed but it is a little too low. You just have to wind it up a bit.

@Cyberdom, thanks. Please send me a screenshot of what you mean with the Goto function, since I obviously tested something different than you. And I will check again the flag issue, since I removed the rating flag from all views, so I must have missed something in the upload to the Amber repo for Leia.

The Goto function corresponds to the screenshot you posted last year :

If I boot with Amber set as my skin I get a Coreelec configuration error message and plugins don't work among other issues.  If I boot using another skin and then switch to Amber it works fine.  Everything worked fine before I upgraded to Matrix and Amber is my favourite skin.  I have tried using the latest version of Amber from git without any change.  This may well be a Coreelec issue rather than Amber but I'm not sure.

Any help would be appreciated.  Am happy to provide debug logs etc.
@steve333 , while I do not have a CoreELEC environment that I can test with, I would like to look at a Kodi debug log of when you boot with Amber as the skin.  Hopefully there is a clue there as to what might be happening.

Bart

Apologies for the delay and thanks for your help.  I have posted a debug log:

RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - Edworld - 2021-04-21

Bsoriano:

I was looking at dialog video info and going over the rating code and notice you have a section for trakt ratings.  However this ratings are not displayed on the top of the dialogvideoinfo. Is this something I need to scrape?

If I change a collection to the Big Panel viewtype, it changes the viewtype for that movieset only, meaning I have to do that for every movieset, present and future.

Is there a way to set the default movieset viewtype for Amber, so that I can set it once and never have to touch it again? Failing that, is there an easy way to set the viewtype for every movieset at once?
Yes, go to skin settings/Media Views/Use new media Views selector.
@jdig4240 , thanks! 

@Tiny Clanger , that is correct.  The best way in Amber is to enable the new media views selector.  With that, you can specify which view type you would like for each media type, and even for each addon.  It is important to note that for the new media views selector to function, you need a recent version of the addon script.skinvariables.  Please download it using the addon author's repo: https://github.com/jurialmunkey/repository.jurialmunkey/raw/master/zips/repository.jurialmunkey/repository.jurialmunkey-2.0.zip

Please let me know if you were able to do what you wanted to do.  Thanks.
Absolutely perfect! Thanks Big Grin

@Edworld , that is correct.  You need to have it in your db for Amber to show it.  I use tinyMediaManager to create NFOs for my media, and only use the Kodi Local Scraper.  tmm scrapes Trakt ratings, as well as all the others (IMDb, TMDb, TVDb, RT, Metacritic).

@steve333 , thanks for the log.  Is that the complete log that was captured before the crash? If so, unfortunately, there is nothing in it that I can see to help understand what the issue is.  Can you try with other skins that use some of the same addons that Amber uses? For example, Aeon Nox SiLVO, Arctic Horizon or Aeon Tajo.

Understood.

Somehow I was under the impression you were using tmdbhelper from Jurialmunkey and that was how you were showing the ratings on the top.

@Edworld , I do use tmdb helper to show ratings for online items (not in my library).  For library items, I show the ratings that are in the db.
