Hi and thanks for all your hard work on the skin.

I have done a fresh install of kodi, added the repo, installed the skin from the repo.

I installed tmdb helper through the skins dependencies interface.

Went to the add-on settings and entered a working API key.

Activated the ratings "imdb" "rotten tomatoes" "metacritic" in the skin settings.

No ratings are displaying. I have tried a number of views and dont see ratings.

Is there something I am doing wrong?  Is the feature broken at present?

I decided to switch to Amber from Confluence,
for testing purposes, I adjusted confluence skin to be able to display an overlay while the video is playing, added a code in videofullscreen.xml and a logo.png in media folder.
Amber has much better widgets option, but the process above to show overlay was not as simple as I thought,

at the moment I use the Amber skin, and I love it.

any suggestions ?

please see attached image

thank you

@abidm8 , you can certainly add a logo to videofullscreen.xml in Amber, just do it at the end, after line 447.  Add a new image control, and position it as needed (top or bottom tag, left or right tag).  Just make sure that you give it an id, since all controls in videofullscreen.xml need to have an id or they will not display.

So, it could be something like this:

xml:


<control type="image" id="25">

     <right>60</right>

     <top>80</top>

     <width>516</width>

     <height>200</height>

      <texture>mylogo.png</texture>

      <aspectratio align="center" aligny="center">keep</aspectratio>

</control>

Bart

@0ldfart , the only view that shows ratings (aside from the main rating) is Right List.  All of the ratings are shown in the video info dialog.

@abidm8 , I do not know.  I do know that from the skin side, I do not have control over how the subtitles are displayed, so, as far as I know, this would be something that Kodi core would have to support.

@bobrap , thanks for confirming.  As for centering, my thought at the moment is to reduce the size of landscape widgets (landscape, fanart, thumb, clearart) such that 5 items fit on the screen without scrolling.  For that use case, no centering is required.  Are you also looking for centering for poster widgets when there are very few items? Please let me know.  Thanks.

Bart

Changing the size would be perfect.  It's always nice to have the centered options (posters).  Whatever is easiest for you.  Thanks so much!
