Just out of curiosity, is there an option to keep the seek bar and cd art as always showing, it disappears after I think a default of 5 seconds.

On the default skin, i think you could okay it or something and it would stay on, but if I okay the screen now, I get the side view.

The way the information is shown, is handled in a differently. Why not using the (i/info) key to show the information? For me, after press (i), the info and disc stays visible. Therefore no skin setting is needed.

Using a shield which is tricky as the remote is limited in what you can do. Thanks for the suggestion which I assume works in windows?

That does not depend on the OS. See here for kodi keyboard controls Smile https://kodi.wiki/view/Keyboard_controls

Btw i am using a remote app like yatse.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - garzilla - 2023-04-06

@beatmasterrs 
since cinema experience and cinema vision are dead and PreShow Experience is being actively developed, would it be ok to remove those dead items from the skin and add PreShow Experience support or would you prefer i add in a conditional layer that hides those old items if the user has the PreShow add-on installed? 

also is there an easy way to translate "PreShow Experience" to all the different languages? i did it using google but that wasn't fun LOL

In most cases, the code just needs to be replaced, which is perfectly fine. Maybe we should just keep the words "cinema experience"? Here it is only about the name of the button in the DialogVideoInfo.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - robertlaing - 2023-04-06

What is cinema experience? Would be interested to know.

Thanks for the info.

I managed to set up the song info duration in advanced settings:

<songinfoduration>7200</songinfoduration>

Which stops the Music OSD from disappearing.

Any chance of putting the music buttons under the seek bar?
Lyrics, back, pause, forward, playlist etc.
They are on the default skin on this screen.

Thanks again.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - beatmasterrs - 2023-04-06

I am still working on the now playing function. There is a setting where after 5 seconds of idle time, the now playing info is automatically shown again, if not visible. I wonder what would be better? To focus the main menu or focus nothing (hidden button)?

[Nothing]


[Main menu]


@Nanomani this still works with the "hide, when not focused/used" setting, except the related "Only, when widget is focused" setting. Maybe you have an idea?

"The CinemaVision add-on is a direct replacement for the Cinema Experience add-on. It will recreate the same experience you get when you go to the movie theater, and allow you to easily customize and share your theater preshow with the community. You can use the default configuration right out of the box, or create your own configuration including video bumpers, trivia (video and still), trailers, audio format bumpers, ratings bumpers, commands and actions."

Just to be clear: I'm donating to something I think is great. I'm paying someone to do something. Kodi is free and so is this addon. I don't get paid to make changes to the skin.

if you ask ...
neither of the two
I will have chosen the OSD control of nowplaying

your PR is the answer to an old request Smile
https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arctic.zephyr.mod/issues/560

I don't know if this is your question ?

here is what I imagined and what I did for me :

1 - one setting "Hide Home menu bar" and one setting "Hide clock and Header"

Image

That mean if "Hide Home menu bar" is enable :

1 - the menu slide after 5s and focus is on the "OSD control of nowplaying"
2 - if back to focus the main menu (300) or submenu (302) menu slide after 5s
3 - if I navigate\stay on Widgets (301) nothing append.

This is completely deconnected of those settings : "hide, when not focused/used", "Only, when widget is focused", "on focus don't slide left"
The setting "Hide clock and Header" if enable mean that header and clock if visible slide out like the main menu .

eg with "vertical multiwidget" and setting "on focus don't slide left"

before music start :

Image

after music start
("Hide Home menu bar" and "Hide clock and Header" enable)

Image

It's not the same logic as you.
I'm not helping you but if it can bring some reflection...


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - robertlaing - 2023-04-06

Seems a shame not to have the OSD music buttons on the screen with the seek bar and cd cover.

They appear when on the on playing screen and also on the OSD menu with the list of songs.
So 3 places where the buttons are/could be shown and the one I use is missing them!

My last reply was said in tongue in cheek, to cause a smile on your face, our humour is obviously different. Laugh

Thanks for your thoughts Smile

It would be nice to focus the control area. This works as far as it goes, but the button e.g. 14 is not colored, although it is focused. Therefore, I currently have only these two mentioned options....

Could you, if you have time, take a look at the current master? Especially with the "Auto show now playing infi after 5 seconds delay if hidden" option enabled. The "hide, when not focused/used" and "Only, when widget is focused" options should also work with it. So actually everything should work...

I'm going crazy with all the options and conditions Big Grin
