I ran a test of .48 last night and did not encounter any problems. Nice!

Hi, The report I made of the value sliders not displaying correctly based on their assigned value is still a problem in .48. I deleted the settings and started over, but those sliders are all wrong. I am currently using the Isengard Aeon MQ5 skin. I tested with Confluence, and although not as bad, still they're off. But they are much worse in the MQ5 skin. Are you not seeing similar?

Sorry to hear that, leejk. I've taken a look at the code, and spoken to the developer about this issue. I don't believe it's a problem with CinemaVision, because we're using standard Kodi slider controls for all of the sliders. Slider controls are a skinnable item, like any other control in Kodi. I believe we need to rely on the skinners to fix the way the slider controls look in their skins. I'm using Arctic: Zephyr at the moment, and all of the sliders look just fine. The problem appears to be with your specific skin. None of the others I chose at random to test are having any issues, as you can see from the screenshots below:

The way I see it, those trailers would get "old" fast wouldn't they? They would kind of be outdated pretty quickly....not to mention the storage space that it takes to store them. Maybe I should share how I have my system set up and what I think the idea is behind it.

My assessment is that the poster does not like the sliderex control used in Aeon MQ5 skin because the "nub" is wider than typical in other skins. Since the nub is defined by a skin media image file, any user can edit the files to suit their taste. In fact, the skin is delivered without the files being compressed into xbt so it is as easy as opening any of the image files in your editor of choice such as GIMP. Further, any user is free under the CC license to edit any or all of those icons/images and texturepack them into an xbt file which can be shared and installed by any user by using the appearance setting skin theme option. There are various theme packs out there from users and certainly worth experimenting with if someone wants to personalize a skin (MQ5 or any other).

thanks

Many thanks!

I have a NAS that stores my movies that I rip. After I watch the ripped movie, I delete them if it isn't worthy of watching again some other time. As time goes by, and I cant keep up with watching what I have ripped, my library grows. When I find the time to watch more movies, I utilize CV to give me the theater experience. But sometimes the movie that I finally decide to watch (cause its been in my library for a while) is maybe a few years old. Why would I want to watch trailers that are a few years old. Wouldn't you want to see movie trailers that are current and movies that are coming out so you could add them to your library to watch at a later time. This process would snowball and your library would grow but you would have a wide range of movie genres that would satisfy what ever you're in the mood for.

It seems that streaming movies with current releases would give anyone the best experience. The kids love to watch the new trailers and say "we have to see that". They wouldn't be as excited if they already watched a movie. You don't get the same experience when you're about to sit down to watch a movie that you may have recently rented/ripped and then watch a trailer for something like "Cars" or "The Incredibles". That's yesterdays news. I want to see a trailer for something that will be out this Christmas or during the upcoming summer.

The only reason why you would want trailers stored on your system is if you don't have a broadband connection to stream the new releases. That would be the only reason that I could think of....but come on, who doesn't have broadband anymore!

If I understand it correctly, CV will only stream genre specific trailers if you specify it that way. So you still get age appropriate trailers when watching a film during family movie night.
