It's just easier to implement and I only offer blur + defining the blur radius.
Depends on how you have integrated it.
I more meant is it using the same PIL method to do the blur? Or if it has any optimisations that might result in better performance over colorbox?
I already have colorbox integrated in my skin, so I may as well keep it in if there isn't any advantage to switching. The other effects in colorbox are nice to have but not necessary, so I thought since Embruary Helper has a simpler approach it might be using a different/faster/better method for blurring that is worth switching to.

It's still Pillow (PIL). I see no performance problems on the Shield. Haven't tested lower powered devices.

@sualfred
Hi, just had 2 questions (first one is or more a suggestion).
Do you think its possible to keep previous Items in the playlist when run the script via playall cmd ??
I do
RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=playall,id=499,type=music,method=fromhere)
Currently it creates the list just for the actual + next titles and disrespect if there are previsous titles in the list.
Which result in shrink the list(s) till reaching end.
(Video)
Or did i miss something special here ?
Did you think its psossible to add a feature to keep previous title in the playlist ?
EDIT:
And the second one, by checking the kodi log i saw that the script is trying to blur an image and i thought it should just do if i call it via command or if set up the skin.setting bool "blurenabled" to true.
I checked also with esuary and everytime i start music playback or video it start 'blurring process'
I am a bit confused and if that is really intended.
I also checked the skinsettings and there is
xml:<setting id="blurenabled" type="bool">false</setting>

RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - sualfred - 2020-03-02
There is a blurring for the player artwork which is always enabled. It's on my list to make it optional. Just out of time atm.
The play commands never honors a current playlist. Why don't you use the context menu "queue item" ?

Thanks for response, i cannot queue item outside of myvideonav/mymusicnav.
Just thought it would be a nice feature but its not a must have.
I used the script method for playback currently in 'musicosd' / 'CustomDialog' / 'CustomWindow', in all of that cases queuing is sadly not possible.
RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - sualfred - 2020-03-03
So you are looking just for a "queue" feature? Because the play would stop the current item and use the new one.

A "queue" feature would be really great as it'll help alot, if posiible.
The 'kepp (previous items) current List' too but it'll not be neccessary if queuing will be posibble .

Hi @sualfred... I have a couple a questions about the "Reset container positions" function.
1. Is this works only with the <onclick /> tag?. I tested in <onunload /> and it's not working.
2. Can this work on grouplists ?. I mean reset the position of multiple list containers in a grouplist.
Thanks and congrats on the coming of your second "little monster"
Mine happened years ago, but i still remember it like it was ... yesterday
EDIT: Also if the container is a panel with two rows of items the reset it's not working.
Cheers

Thanks. And with the lockdown and Corona I have a lot of time for the family.
It's sometimes a bit tricky and depends on the nature of the window (window/dialog). The Python overhead and delay can be too late until a window has been closed.

Hi @sualfred
I am trying to create a custom search which will be called from select dialog created with skin helper and i am having problem to make it work.
The
Skin.SetString opens the k/b to type the string but after that the custom window it's not opening.This is the code that i am using...
xml:<onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.1.Label,$LOCALIZE[3],Home)</onclick>
<onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.1.Label2,$LOCALIZE[31381],Home)</onclick>
<onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.1.Icon,icons/videos.png,Home)</onclick>
<onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.1.BuiltIn,RunScript(script.globalsearch,movies=true&tvshows=true&episodes=true&musicvideos=true),Home)</onclick>
<onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.2.Label,Search,Home)</onclick>
<onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.2.Label2,$LOCALIZE[31384],Home)</onclick>
<onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.2.Icon,icons/search.png,Home)</onclick>
<onclick>SetProperty(Dialog.2.BuiltIn,SetProperty(CustomSearch,1,Home)||Skin.Reset(SearchString)||Skin.SetString(SearchString)||ActivateWindow(1125),Home)</onclick>
<onclick>RunScript(script.embuary.helper,action=createselect,header=$LOCALIZE[137]...,usedetails=true)</onclick>
What am i doing wrong here?
RE: script.embuary.helper - a skin helper service / widgets alternative - sualfred - 2020-04-06
The actions are performed in a row. This means it's trying to activate a window while the keyboard is active.
You could activate the window before you open the keyboard. Or add a onunload to the keyboard dialog and use the skin string or a custom property as trigger.
Code:
<onunload condition="!String.IsEmpty(Skin.String(SearchString))">ActivateWindow(1125)</onunload>
