RE: Mimic for Helix - jrock600 - 2015-02-03 I just got the update and it seems to break the widget edit to keep it persistant. Re editing the xml doesnt seem to work now. Is there any way to get it back in the new update?

I inadvertently removed the buffer texture and didn't notice as I don't use any streaming addons. Love this skin in many ways. But the lack of buffering percentage is a killer. Can't tell if video is loading quickly or not.....the buffering percentage gives you an idea how long it will take.

I added back in a progresscache control. It doesn't display the percentage, but it will graphically display the cached amount like it does in Aeon Nox 5. Is this sufficient?I already tested it. All of my media is local, but I've tested it with the Sports Illustrated video addon, etc. RE: Mimic for Helix - mhodgson6 - 2015-02-03 First of all, thanks for the work, this may be my favourite Helix skin in most respects. Yeah, I see the cache bar, but I do think the percentage label is a very useful piece of info. For non-local content (and us folk with fast but not lightning fast internet), it gives an immediate indication as to whether the video is going to quickly load and play or whether you have to go make dinner while it buffers, as it crawls along at 6%. Lol. RE: Mimic for Helix - braz - 2015-02-03 (2015-02-03, 01:34)mhodgson6 Wrote: First of all, thanks for the work, this may be my favourite Helix skin in most respects.

Lol.Do you have an example of a skin that does a good job of displaying the buffering percentage? Looking for something to copy, lol. RE: Mimic for Helix - mhodgson6 - 2015-02-03 Good old Aeon Nox puts it right in the progress bar. Simple and unobtrusive.

Checked Nox 5, but it doesn't show the cache percentage. Must be in an earlier version? I tried adding Player.CacheLevel to the seek bar, but it just shows 93 or so when playing online media. Not very valuable IMO, the visual indicator of the cache progress bar seems sufficient. Unless I'm missing something, I'll probably leave the progress bars as-is. RE: Mimic for Helix - deletedpenguin - 2015-02-03 ^ It does show it IF it's buffering. But only then.

Thanks for pointing that out, I guess I've never experienced any buffering. I see now I removed the seeking variable that is in Nox 5. Will add that back in, but it will mean tweaking the pause indicator.

I cannot seem to locate the option to display the widgets all of the time. I check Skin Settings - > Home window but cannot see any way to keep the widgets on the home screen. This is the only thing holding me back from using this skin! Edit: Nevermind...I got the latest version from Github and the option is there.

Can't see any difference on my end (latest git), maybe because we don't use AM/PM here but 24 hour format? Could you try adding words or maybe tell me where to insert them so I could try it myself? Again, thank you so much for your work! RE: Mimic for Helix - braz - 2015-02-03 (2015-02-03, 11:57)Scott00007 Wrote: Edit: Nevermind...I got the latest version from Github and the option is there. Oops, you're right. Only available on git at the moment.
