It displays well but over the existing fanart.
My question is without making any global changes to fanart (like home menus and tv shows and other views),
  
  can the non-Netflix fan art (background) - be darkened out (so a % brightness) so that only the netflix fanart (top-right corner) shows at 30%
  Maybe another option in the menu to allow for %brightest of non-netflix background

   OR

  can the non-netflix fanart (if Netflix fan-art be changed to whatever my background for that section is)
  e.g in my UHD menu, when I go to 1917 - the background is 25% dark popcorn and the top right of the screen shows 1917.

There are just these options in:
- skin settings > home > netflix > netflix fanart window > brightness
- skin settings > background > brightness
you can try tro play with.

      My intro is 5minutes long (which I love but having to sit through it every-time is well... drives me nuts ha ha) its not easy to stop it.  Actually hitting stop will restart it. 
      Can it be stopped and disappear by a single button click or maybe just pressing escape or the B button on a gamepad?

This works fine for me, so i was not able to reproduce this issue, sorry...

       Is there any way you could incorporate these into your skin? 
       The ROM trailers are really well designed and works great with AZ.
       I am sort of hoping it would be easier to take the templates from the resurrection skin than Wintermutes Estuary skin port.


I want to thank you for your efforts and continued support.
It's been really difficult to settle on a skin so thank you, its very much appreciated.

There is nothing planned in the near future, sorry.

Also the preview image appears like (poster)

Can I edit to show the quality icon and video preview image to become like the default skin for Kodi ?

Thanks.

Could you please test this Zip file? https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arctic.zephyr.mod/archive/refs/heads/views-patch-9.zip

I have made changes to the available viewtypes for files and changes to the media info flags.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - Obsidian1 - 2022-05-24

Thanks for developing such a beautiful skin!!!  I have two (2) questions...apologies if you've already answered these questions in the past...(?)

1) I can't figure out how to get my IPTV service provider's Video on Demand (VOD) library to display fanart in same the way the fanart is displayed using "Spotlight".  I can't even get an image to display much less play any video trailers.  Is there a way to set up my VOD movies so that they display fanart as a background when a VOD movie is highlighted like spotlight or any of the other TheMovieDb Helper options? Can I point/add my VOD movies to a script TheMovieDb addon can read?

2) I have my VOD movies - recent release, in theaters , trending - set up as three individual widgets.  When I select a movie to play, the movie will load, but the only way I can get the movie to play without the "content loading..." spinner is to press the back key (android) or escape key (windows10).  When I play a VOD movie NOT in a widget, like from the Big Poster, the "content loading..." spinner stops spinning as soon as the movie starts.  Is there a way to correct this issue to that movies selected from a widget will play without needing to press a back/escape key?

Thank you!

The fanart path should be provided by the addon or kodi itself. There is nothing, i can help you with, sorry.

Maybe you could provide a Debug Log of the issue, you have?

Hi, thanks for the responses.

Does the -

skin settings > home > netflix > netflix fanart window > brightness
adjust the netflix fanart or the background brightness?
I am only wanting to dim the background when looking at movies with the netflix fanart switched on?


"This works fine for me, so i was not able to reproduce this issue, sorry..."
How did you skip the intro movie playing once it started?  What did you press?


"There is nothing planned in the near future, sorry."
That's OK, I appreciate your work but hope you do consider it - its such a neat feature.


Thanks
Chris

RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - MDUKRPI - 2022-05-25

Hey! I can't get the HDR media flag to display no matter what I try....does it simply not work or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

EDIT: I've now worked this out, apologies!

I cannot stand people asking for help, then figuring it out themselves without sharing the solution.

For anyone wondering, you simply add 'HDR' to your file name and (re-)scrape. E.g. Top Gun Maverick (2022).HDR.mkv


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - superture - 2022-05-29

Hi,

I hope this is the right place for this question!

I have 3 Nvidia shields (2 2017 and 1 2019) with Kodi 19.3 and arctic zephyr reloaded 1.1.169.

I absolutely love this skin. It's so beautiful and many settings to get it right. But... most of the times when I start Kodi it's like the skin is missing to load a layer. Menus gets transparent and shadows too visible etc. Easy fix is to reload the skin which always fixes the problem.

Any ideas to why this happens?

Thanks

Ok too bad. Anything I can do to better understand like providing some logs or so? I don't where they are located though 😃

Can anyone get the recent recording widget working ? The list is never in a recent recording order.

Of course and it does not work. The recordings are never in any particular order. The recent recording from skin helper is in the correct order but it is slow as molasses.

Never got this work with the default widgets.
