And you can have 9 items if you hide the clock/weather.

RE: Mimic 2.x for Isengard - thewarm - 2015-07-26 "Just added Shift view for episodes on github." Very cool. Thank you!

The 5-item menu will be default from now on though... RE: Mimic 2.x for Isengard - Sn00p - 2015-07-27 Just a little comment to inform you that i noticed the same problem than wickemu and Arogantis when i updated your skin from the official repo : the new animation for the main menu (with 3 buttons) made it a little bit sluggish (yet my HTPC runs on a core i7) :-( I just downloaded your last update on github and i can confirm you that everything works smoothly now, with the 5-items config AND also with the old 3-items config (by the way, the option you made to choose between these 2 configurations is great) ! Also love the "plot" option for the shift view : mimic goes better and better week after week ! You rock !

I sped up the animations for the 3-item menu, hopefully that takes care of it. Let me know if you notice any other performance issues. RE: Mimic 2.x for Isengard - vdb86 - 2015-07-27 Hi braz, I know you have already spoken to Sn00p about Youtube/Trailer button. But to be honest Youtube button doesn't really seem to work correctly. For some movies it doesn't find anything on Youtube while Trailer function does. I'm not sure how this is possible. Do you have any idea what's going on?

I added a context menu item for movies that will play the trailer. Plan to leave the YouTube button on the video info dialog with the Trailer button as a fallback if Extendedinfo isn't installed. Changes are available on github and will be in the next official release. RE: Mimic 2.x for Isengard - Arogantis - 2015-07-27 Installed latest github. Menu MUCH better now the animation speed has been increased. Nice one.

RE: Mimic 2.x for Isengard - picklepepper - 2015-07-29 Very weird... On a fresh install I had to add the Official Kodi repo myself, and I tried to add this skin but then got "dependencies not met" error... Anyone know what might be problem?

It should automatically install the dependencies when installing from the repo. RE: Mimic 2.x for Isengard - TheYetiWakes - 2015-07-30 Can you point me in the direction of an older version of the file or what would need doing to go back to the older version of now playing info screen for tv programmes? Mimic recently updated and now the screen shows the info on the TV show in a scrolling manner on one line rather than two or three static lines as next aired is at the bottom rather than top right. I appreciate some people prefer this but personally I must read fast or something because it's like waiting for paint to dry to read the full description and really annoying. I actually find myself going into EPG instead, finding the show and reading description there as doing that is quicker than waiting for the info to scroll. Don't get me wrong, the skin is the best you can get and I appreciate this is just a personal preference so happy to have a go at hacking it around a bit just for me if you can point where to get started.

You can compare them to the ones from earlier releases to see what has changed. https://github.com/bryanbrazil/skin.mimic/releases |
