RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Sjors125 - 2019-03-06
@jurialmunkey I can't say it enough: great work!
2 questions: do you have icons for 4k, UHD-blu-ray and HDR-formats like HLG, HDR10, HDR10+. Technicolor HDR and Dolby Vision?
My tv, receiver and mediaplayer are 4k & HDR capable: is AZ2 skin optimised for 4k & HDR too?

As for HDR, Kodi does not "recognize" media as HDR, and that is not info, as far as I know, that is in the Kodi video database for any video. In order for a skin to display any HDR icons, again, as far as I know, you would have to include that info in the file name of the video, and the skinner would have to look for that in order to display the icon. I don't know whether @jurialmunkey is doing something like this in this or any of his other skins.

thx for the job, is very interest template, impatient for test this template
RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Sjors125 - 2019-03-06
@bsoriano That sounds logical.
Do you happen to know if AZ2, of Kodi as such, is or can be optimised for 4k screens?

I think some skins look better than others in 4K, since most are coded for HD (1080). I think Kodi does a good job of upsacling the GUI elements to 4K.

For playing 4K HDR content, I have gone the route of using Kodi with an external player that supports madVR. It requires a bit of extra setup and config work, but the results are outstanding. If you are interested, there is a thread that has all the info to do this (for Windows): https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=229692

(2019-03-06, 23:10)Sjors125 Wrote: @bsoriano That sounds logical.AZ2 is designed for 1080p as I feel that is the most common resolution supported by hardware combos (eg I have a 4k TV but the video card in my htpc doesn't handle 4k output very well). Also, 1080p upscales well to 4k because it is simply pixel doubling - whereas downscaling 4k to 1080p isn't so great because you loose detail.

So you can run the skin in 4k with no problems - my laptop where I'm making the skin has a 4k display and the skin looks great on it.

I think most danes are probably running Kodi in english, but if you want to have as many languages as possible translated I can do the danish translation for you.

Work gave me the new Razor Blade. I can't see a big difference from my viewing distance. But it's quite nice to edit a 1080p video pixel perfect and still having UI on screen.
Back to topic again:
@jurialmunkey
I'm quite happy that you got monochrome icons for the ratings. The three ratings really look more unified without the yellow, green and red logos.
In Aura I switched the color gradients to two light variants of grey, and the ratings stand out too much there now.
I have a question though. Is there a benefit from having the quantity of votings for the imdb rating?
I won't use the skin in my own language, but can translate it to german if needed.

I have the Lenovo Yoga 920. Honestly, 4k is probably a little overkill at it's 14" screen size, but I got it massively discounted in a sale and it meant I could get the i7 model with a 1TB ssd.
First new computer in about six years, so I splurged a bit!
I think a lot of people use imdb vote count to judge popularity of a film (e.g. differentiates big blockbusters from little indie films).
Also helps to judge how accurate the rating is (e.g. a high rating is not that meaningful if it only has 10 votes).
RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Sjors125 - 2019-03-08
I really like this color gradient from your Aura skin:
Will you make it possible to set something like that in AZ2 also?
Doesn't even have to be these exact colors, but having a color selector to choose which colors to use for selecting items and the elapsed time of a video and if it is one color, or a gradient, would be awesome.

Sorry, it's a no on gradients - trying to minimise overheads as much as possible and keep things light.
Colour choice for selection will be an option though - that's always been a part of AZ.

Hello,
I can do the french translation if you need.
