I then went into my whole song list (about 6000 songs), chose a song to listen to, and the entire 6000 songs ended up in the playlist!

When I use the option "queue item" on a few songs, that works great and only the songs I have chosen appear on the playlist.

On Estuary, if I click on one song from my entire song list, then only that one song ends up on the playlist.

@robertlaing , in this case, I will also need the exact sequence of steps that you are going through.  In my tests, Amber behaves just as Estuary.  To the best of my knowledge, the skin does not control how items get added to the playlist when you  choose to play an item.

On another note, the overlays for the tmdb online info windows are done (the changes are on GitHub already).  They look like this:



There you can see the overlay that shows an item is in your library.




There you can see the overlay for when an item is watched.  Please note that, unlike Estuary, in Amber you will only see one overlay, either the library one, or the watched one.  For me, if an item is watched, it is also in your library. 

If you have selected in Amber to show the overlays on the top right (with the setting shown in the following screenshot):



Then this is how the overlays look:



And for tv shows, the top right overlay shows how many unwatched episodes you have:



Please test and let me know what you think.  Thanks.

I like to use the 0% focus, so that everything is bright, and in this instance the top right overlay marks are invisible until my cursor goes over the movie, and even then they are very faint.
However, if i do not choose to use the top right overlay option, the bottom left mark is really bright in the movie list at 0% focus.

@G0mez,  unfortunately, the YouTube addon reports its own fanart as the fanart for shelf items from that addon, so that is what Amber displays.  For poster and square, Amber defaults to the item icon, which is a video fanart as provided by the YouTube addon.

I can see how it is more useful to have the video fanart when you select Fanart as the artwork type, so I have added a new setting to prefer the Thumb instead of the addon fanart for YouTube shelves.  You can find the setting here:



With that setting enabled, you get the video fanart for YouTube shelves which for which you set Fanart as the artwork type:



This only works for YouTube addon shelves.  The changes are already on GitHub (Matrix only at the moment).  Please test and let me know if this is what you were looking for.  Thanks.

@robertlaing , if by "pick one song" you mean start playing one song, then, in my tests, Amber does the same thing as all other skins, including Estuary.  In my tests, when you start playing one song from the complete list of songs in your library, all songs get added to the current playlist.  Estuary does this as well, at least in my tests with Windows.

As I mentioned before, the skin does not control how the song is added to the playlist, this is Kodi core behavior.  Given this, there is nothing for me to fix/change here.

Bart

@robertlaing , I understand that you are talking about Fanart view, and the level of dimming for the unfocused items.  Please confirm.

If this is the case, then you are correct, there was incorrect dimming being applied to the top right overlays in Fanart view.  I just fixed this on GitHub (Matrix only).  Please test and let me know.  Thanks.

(2022-01-11, 23:15)bsoriano Wrote: Hello all,

First of, Happy New Year, may this 2022 bring health, peace and joy.

I have uploaded versions 3.4.32 (Matrix) and 3.2.152 (Leia) to GitHub and the Amber repos.  I apologize for the long delay in uploading a  new version.  These versions provide a lot of bug fixes (thank you to all of you that have been reporting issues that you have found), and some new functionality:

1. Allow different view types for PVR windows.  Amber will now support changing the view type, to almost all that the skin provides, for PVR Channels, Timers, Timer Rules, Recordings and Search.  Not all view types are supported, and I am not planning on providing any view changes for the EPG.

2. Search Trailer button in Video Info Dialog.  If there is no local trailer (or tmdb helper provided trailer), Amber will allow you to search for a trailer.  The search is done using the YouTube addon, which you need to have configured and working.  You can also specify to use the IMDb Trailers addon to search for a trailer.  Of course, you need that addon configured and working to use that option.

3. Include Date Added and Last Played date in Video Info Dialog.

4. Setting to Enable Direct Seeking in Full Screen Info.  If this is disabled (the default), then Amber will show the Cast and Plot buttons in the full screen info window.  If enabled, these buttons will not be shown, but you will be able to seek directly (inputting numbers) from this screen.

5.  Setting to Always Show Info Panel for Lists.

6.  Setting to Open EPG with the Teletext Button in the OSD.

7. Allow Using Main Menu Item Background as Background for Sub Windows.

8.  Length of Startup Video is Configurable.

9. Auto-Close Video OSD time is inactive seconds.  Now the Auto Close Video OSD function is based on seconds of inactivity.

10.  Allow changing PVR Timeshift Buffer Color.

11. Show Movie Info for Linked Movie(s) in Episodes List Dialog.  If you have a movie linked to a tv show, Amber will now show some basic movie info for that movie in the Episodes List dialog.

As I mentioned before, there are also many fixes.  Given that there were quite a few new features (albeit small), I chose not to include screenshots in this post.  If any of you would like a screenshot of a particualr function/setting, please let me know.  Thanks.

Please download, update, and let me know if you find any issues.  Thanks.

Regards,

Bart
