Also, if the seek bar is not shown, would you still want to see a label that shows you the speed at which you are fast forwarding? (2X, 4X, etc.)? Please let me know.  Thanks.

Exact Bart, not important where i'm, just to hide de bar while watching the movie. i prefer no info on the screen.

Thx

@Input1963 , could you please try the latest from GitHub (Matrix only)? The changes are already there.  The new setting is here:




And as you requested, no info will be on the screen when you are forwarding or rewinding when this setting is enabled.  Please note that if the OSD is displayed (you pressed M or Menu while playing a video), the seekbar will be shown, and I do not want to change that behavior.  Also, if you press i (Info) while playing a video, the seekbar will be shown as well, and I do not plan on changing that behavior either.

Please let me know if this is what you were looking for.  Thanks.

Bart

Thanks.

As for the All Seasons issue, it just slipped my mind, thanks for reminding me!  I will look into it pretty soon.

@tcclives23 , my apologies for not answering this post sooner.  I have removed the code that was forcing the tv show poster and the fanart for *All Seasons.  Now, if you have  season-all-poster and  season-all-fanart images, which Kodi picks up without skin intervention, they will be shown properly in Amber.  If you do not, then for poster Amber will show the tv show poster, and for fanart, the tv show fanart.

The changes are already on GitHub.

Please let me know if this is what you were looking for.  Thanks.

DAMN! That was quick! Haha is that both Matrix and Leia? Dumb Xbox still has Leia.

Perfect! Thanks Bart! I'll take a look at it tonight after work!

Thank you @bsoriano.

I just updated Amber to version 3.1.132.
The option "Show submenu only when focused" is now displayed in Amber's settings.
But whether I choose "Yes" or "No", nothing changes, the result is the same. The submenus are always displayed as before.
Can you explain the principle of this option to me again ? From what I understood, activating this option allows submenus to be displayed only when focused, is that right ?

I also noticed an error with a French translation in Amber settings -> Media views -> Select extra art to show in applicable views
The French translation exists but the first letter is missing.
Here is what is displayed at the moment :
"électionner les illustrations supplémentaires dans les vues applicables"
You have to add an S to "électionner", which gives :
"Sélectionner les illustrations supplémentaires dans les vues applicables"

It's good, the Goto function works as before from the OSD with the Info button.

Please remember that you can choose whatever label you want for the menu item/submenu item/shelf, so even if the dialog to choose shows you an English title, you can set a label in French.

Thanks for the method with the .xsp files. I have indeed modified the labels to put text in French.

Where can I get that addon from?
