UPDATE: Make sure you have all of the dependencies in the script's addon.xml installed. For example, beautifulsoup.

are there more dependencies than what is shown in skin settings>scripts? I don't see beautifulsoup there so I would imagine so, but wanted to check on how to confirm what I need/have. According to the scripts section of skin settings, I have all installed other than next up notification, which I wouldn't imagine would affect this.

edit: ah, you meant the dependencies for SHS, not the skin. Yes, in checking that addon.xml versus my addon folder, I appear to have all of the requirements. In looking at the SHS thread it looks like quite a few people are having issues with the recent updates. Odd that it worked when I loaded a different skin, but I suppose it is a problem with the SHS.

final edit: creating music library didn't fix it, but I'll stop spamming your thread now. Sorry about that; hopefully SHS gets updated and fixed soon. I really enjoyed being able to just jump in to the next episode of a show I'd been binge-watching without having to navigate my actual tv library.

more edit: I'm guessing it has something to do with the music library additions SHS made. I have no music library, and looking at my log it throws error when trying to get the music directory and says getaddrinfo failed. I'll try to set up a music library that I never go to to see if that solves anything.

@lazyboy0172

Just tested on my system and everything widget/skin helper service related seems to be working like it should. I recall seeing that script.skinshortcuts recently made some changes regarding music links...maybe that is related.

Thanks, it may be a skin shortcuts issue but I'm unsure. SHS was updated last night and fixed the error popping up, but now when I go to skin settings and select a widget it comes up with the standard dialogue but if I click default widgets to see the full list kodi freezes up. since it won't open at all I'm not sure if it's a problem with the skin, shs, skin shortcuts, or even extendedinfo if it's freezing up trying to get that info, but I don't think it's EI. I did some digging and discovered the playlist in special://skin/extras/playlists/ was no longer there (nextepisodes.xsp). I was able to manually edit the skin shortcuts settings to point to recently added episodes, so at least kodi isn't freezing and crashing every time i start it up now, but would you know where I should look next? it's tough that the skin utilizes SHS and Skin Shortcuts so much as it makes it quite hard to discover which is causing the problems if something goes wrong. (not that it's bad the skin utilizes them, they are great things and I love the skin! just makes troubleshooting tougher for me). FWIW, checking the extendinfo plugin for playlists like tv airing today and trending movies all showed up fine, which is why I don't believe it's an EI issue, but what do I know.

Hi Braz, is it possible to remove the counter 0 for songs at the top in the main menu, if i don't have any songs in my collection? and instead of the amount of episodes, is it possible to the amount of tv shows? thanks in advance.

Both would require code changes that I don't plan to make for this mod. I believe the latest version of ArcticZephyr on github no longer shows "0 songs" when the music library is empty.


RE: skin.arctic.zephyr.braz - braz - 2016-01-09

Finally got around to skinning the Audio DSP settings dialog. Haven't done anything with the DSP Manager yet though.

RE: skin.arctic.zephyr.braz - braz - 2016-01-09

Just added support for DSP Manager as well...

Added a lighter weight font option in Settings > Appearance.


RE: skin.arctic.zephyr.braz - bigbadrabbit - 2016-01-15

Is there a way to restrict fanart backgrounds to certain views / sections?

What i'd like to do is show fanart in Big Icons and List for example but not showing when using the Wall view.
Or showing fanart in TV Shows only and not in Movies.

Is something like that doable? What .xml would i have to edit and where?
Thanks!

It's only doable by editing the skin code. The global fanart variables are defined in Includes.xml.

Thanks.
Is it possible to edit the transparency of the diffuse .png used in the views? I mean the gradient that is applied on fanart? Can it be edited per view or only global?


RE: skin.arctic.zephyr.braz - deletedpenguin - 2016-01-19

braz, have you given any thought as to adding a slim line menu, similar to the option in eminence 2? i'd love to see this - not sure the level of effort required to do this.

I'm assuming you mean media/common/bg.png and yes, you can change the opacity in any image editor. This will affect all views that use this texture though. I'm guessing this is what you mean by gradient, though there is no gradient involved. I removed the gradient that is in the original skin long ago.

Not sure how that view is different, can you post a screenshot?

Borrowing an image from the Eminence thread, but essentially the menu at the bottom. I suppose you'd have to move the clock cluster somewhere, but it'd be a very clean looking addition to an already stellar mod.

No plans to add another main menu option, especially if it means removing the clock/weather.
