I am using Aura now, and the only thing for me is the EPG. I know this is your baby, just putting it out there.
And TV Channels view:
-For the EPG, maybe a show info box (not preview, or pip), that would have ie, plot, SxExx, New/ Orig Air date, most important for sports the team playing. Just a minimal box to avoid extra clicks.
-Perhaps remove the genre text, and make one row of text, allowing more channels per page. Could also have option for genre colors
-Colored line for current time - i know it has shading, but i still have hard time sensing the where we are on the EPG.
This is just a capture of Titan - just for ideas.
Thank you!
I'm not sure about genre colours though. Everything I tried I wasn't liking much. I will keep trying though, as it makes sense for the simpler view to use genre colours instead of showing genre text.

Hi,
Things i would like to see scraped into the video nodes if it could be made, the director's images and possibly also screenwriters.
cheers

A scraper addon for directors would need to be developed and kodi core would need to support adding director images to director items in the library database.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - redroberts - 2019-02-22
i love reading this thread....
it's all very simple in my eyes..... I love AZ and appreciate the time | effort that went into making it. There will always be a few things that I would tweak but get that it's not always possible to please everyone, hence why people create MODs after the skin is released.
I'm all for people asking if x is possible, however you have to respect the response.
I for one cant wait and will embrace the new skin
PS can i just have..... j/k

Looking forward to it and thanks for doing this.(2019-01-30, 08:34)Ulvinn Wrote: Is vertical menu still going to be an option in AZ 2?
Yeah. I'm planning to have the choice between a simple horizontal menu (which I've already shown screenshots of) and a vertical multiple-widget home menu.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - proxymatt - 2019-02-22
Just wondering if A:Z2 will retain the ability to set my own image slideshow on the home screen like A:Z1?
Very excited about switching to Kodi 18, currently running it along side SPMC 17 on my Android box and it's so much better, but now way I can make it my daily driver without the awesomeness of A:Z.

And TV Channels view:
I like the guide view and the minimalism there. I also think I don't need the name there, not sure on the number tho
But for the channel view I would prefere are more vertical list style with the channel number, icon and name on the left side. On the right top quarter the information of what's currently running on that channel. On the right bottom quarter an overview of what's running after.
I'm not sure if I can quite visualise your suggestion for channels view, however. Do you have an image/screenshot example of roughly what you mean?

Ah, that's a great idea. I don't think it's possible to get more than the first next item in the channels view, however.
If I can figure out a way, then I'll definitely create a channels view like this.

Yes definitely. The simple home screen focuses on showing off the background as much as possible, whether that's fanart from a movie widget or an image slideshow.

Aye, you are correct. Have tried doing the same thing in the past, but haven't found a way. Would be good to see if you any success. Likewise, if I suddenly have a 'Lightbulb' moment, I'll let you know....

Will there be logos again like in A:Z or is it top much eye candy?

Awesome
I think I haven't seen a skin yet that shows more than the first next item in the channel view. Not being possible could be probably the reason :/(2019-02-22, 13:25)jurialmunkey Wrote:(2019-02-22, 10:29)proxymatt Wrote: Just wondering if A:Z2 will retain the ability to set my own image slideshow on the home screen like A:Z1?

Great, thats also one of my favorite customization features, as well as icons infront of the menu texts

Not like in AZ1, but they will be used in select places:

Looking at that screenshot reminded me to ask if anyone knows if its possible to replace the year category with decade out of the box? I'm pretty sure its a Kodi feature enhancement change and I guess I could implement it with playlists but I've always wondered why years was implemented and decade support wasn't.

Try the addon library node edtior, it should help you in that case
