2. I'd like to change the way the artist and title are presented aside from just shifting them over. Those also used to live in includes_OSD.

AZ:R has nothing to do wth AZ2, so please take a look at 1080i/Includes.xml and 1080i/MusicVisualisation.xml

Appreciate the quick reply @beatmasterrs, I'll go through those files.

I would've never thought to look for the scrolling text effect while it was playing - thanks for pointing that out!


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - webpostkastl - 2022-02-05

I gotta say the more I play with AZ Reloaded the more I'm digging it. I'm still missing Grid like hell, but I was now able to adapt some things in AZR that I was missing after moving from Grid and I'm getting there Wink so thanks a lot @beatmasterrs for such an awesome skin. This one definitely beats all the other ones that are around for Matrix. Kudos to you! But may I ask 2 more question? both are regarding Includes_DialogVideoInfo:

1. when opening the Video Details page I'd like to have "Extended Info" as my default view (right now it is PLAY (for movies) or BROWSE (for series). I was already able to switch the positions of the buttons (so now the "i" button is the first one in the row), but the PLAY/BROWSE button is still highlighted and active by default. Where can I change this so that the "i"/Extended info button is the default view when opening this page?

2. on the right side, below Year/Runtime/Genre/Rating there is an additional row that shows some star rating (amongst aspect ratio, codecs info etc.) - is there a way I can disable this rating? or maybe comment it out in one of the XMLs?

awesome! thanks so much @beatmasterrs!


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - horizons1 - 2022-02-05

I am in good shape on changing my Now Playing music screen, thanks to @beatmasterrs help locating the right xml files. Thanks again for that.

New question: For Kodi on Android, I am not seeing anything in the Media folder except for two XBT files (Square & Textures). Where are all the jpgs and pngs for Android stored? They must be somewhere because the skin is working properly, I just cannot find where to replace a couple overlay pngs.

Thanks!

Xbt files are used regardless of the os. You can use the kodi texture tool to decompile xbt files.

OK, So I'll decompile, change the images I want and recompile? Sounds fun!

Is there anyway to configure the header on the home screen, i would like to add a count for my tv shows and maybe delete channels

There is no way to configure that. If you like to edit the related XML file, take a look here: https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arctic.zephyr.mod/blob/master/1080i/Includes_Furniture.xml#L3106-L3135


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - dom323 - 2022-02-06

Hi, I recently started using Kodi and after trying a few different skins I landed on this one. The customization possibilities are great, I absolutely love it.


I use these skin settings:
 - Home Vertical MultiWidgets Netflix
 - Use autotrailer from well configured local file.nfo (movietitle-trailer.mp4)
 - I do not use autotrailers or trailers for TV series or episodes

I have a menu with "last viewed" widgets divided into two horizontal playlist sections that internally scroll horizontally set as preview in display:
 - Last viewed movies
 - Last viewed episodes


Now the question is, in the aforementioned menu I don't use any type of trailer for episodes nor for movies, the Home Vertical MultiWidgets Netflix setting is set to forcibly display
the Plot of films and episodes, I'm trying to eliminate the plot and raise the position of the preview to have the two sections of the playlists both clearly visible without having to scroll down to see them
more exactly as if the menu were set in Home Vertical Multi Widget (no netflix).

So, I found this in the include_Home.xml file:

            <! - Sets Movie Episode Netflix No ClearArt Or Empty ->
           <control type = "textbox">
                <include> MultiWidgetsPlotLabelDefinition </include>
                <label> $ INFO [Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.Plot] </label>
                <visible> [[String.IsEqual (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.DBType, set) | String.IsEqual (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.DBType, movie) | String.IsEqual (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.DBType, episode) | String.IsEqual (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.DBType, tvshow)] +! String.IsEmpty (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.Plot)] + Skin.HasSetting (homemenu.netflix) + [! Skin.HasSetting (home.netflix.clearlogo) | [Skin.HasSetting (home.netflix.clearlogo) + String.IsEmpty (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.Art (clearlogo))]] </visible>
            </control>

Working on the row:
<visible> [[String.IsEqual (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.DBType, set) | String.IsEqual (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.DBType, movie) | String.IsEqual (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.DBType, episode) | String.IsEqual (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.DBType, tvshow)] +! String.IsEmpty (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.Plot)] + Skin.HasSetting (homemenu.netflix) + [! Skin.HasSetting (home.netflix.clearlogo) | [Skin.HasSetting (home.netflix.clearlogo) + String.IsEmpty (Container ($ PARAM [id]). ListItem.Art (clearlogo))]] </visible>
 
Something I can get but by eliminating the plots also in other menus, that is, not only in the menu in question (last viewed).

I'm not very code-savvy but something I can see and understand.
I wonder if I am in the right file but more important if it is feasible or my research can upset the intertwining of all the sequences with the skin you work with here.

I have if it were possible to build a my_customXXXX.xml file only for this menu with "last viewed" widget that has for example only the Home Vertical Multi Widget setting (no netflix).

I hope I was understandable in my explanation, in addition if it helps I can show pictures.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Hello all.
This is my first time posting here, so let me first say. I love the skin! I use Kodi mostly only for watching TV with my HdHomeRun Tuner (with the Zuki plugin).
I really like how this skin looks n feels on the live TV screen.
But I have a question.
Is there any way to make it show instead of the Channel logo, on the OSD screen, to show instead the show poster, (or EPG icon)?
It would look so much better with the show icons instead of the channel logos.
Most skins show the channel logo, but a few do show the Show poster instead, the Embuary skin, and Amber, both have the show poster.
If there is any way to make this happen, I'd really love it and appreciate it. And I'm sure many other tv users like myself would love it.
Thanks for this great skin.
Joey R
