I know there is an option to have the osd hidden after a couple of seconds but its not ideal and it only works when pausing and not when fast forwarding.
Maybe have a "minimalistic osd' option where you only have the progress bar at the very bottom and nothing else when pausing and fast forwarding? Also a clock would be nice.

A seekbar only OSD will not solve your issue. In your first screen shot, it's the seekbar which primarily covers the subtitles. The seekbar obviously should be visible whilst seeking, and I don't want to overcomplicate things with options to micromanage its position.

You say that the existing option to hide whilst paused is "not ideal" but don't really explain why it is important to see the subtitles instead of the seekbar whilst seeking. I get the benefit of wanting a clear view whilst paused, which is why there is an option for that, but less so whilst seeking (yes you wouldn't want subs completely hidden but you already can see enough to know when you reach the position you want). I'd rather understand the issue with the existing option so that I can improve it instead of layering more options over the top.

You can already have a clock by enabling it in the furniture settings for top left position.

Sorry i was talking about the playback speed option when i said fast forward, seeking is fine, my bad.
So sometimes i use playback speed option to go trough some of the more boring parts of some shows and being able to see the subs help to still sort of understand what's going on, tho this might be more of a niche thing...
My idea was to have the progress bar way down kinda like this https://imgur.com/a/HAjiHmU tho i dont know if you like it or if it works(also subs that have fixed position like ssa/ass may be cut still). Just having less things to block the subs would help.
Alternatively you could have it at the top like stock kodi skin i guess idk...
As for the pause option i guess chosing after how many seconds to hide would be nice maybe? Personally i just want it to go away faster.

Also i found the clock option, thank you, tho i don't know if i would have found it by myself.

@jurialmunkey: Loving the skin so far . Starting to use this as my daily driver. Just 1 request : Would you be able to add studio icons for home widget's  & Maybe increasing the size of the ratings  1 or 2 Points.

I'm also thinking of this because bottom widget look empty below... (Sorry in my English. Lol)


RE: Arctic Fuse - CouchGuy - 2023-12-01

I've seen this SkinVariables Custom Filter and I'm trying to merge in-progress movies & episodes which is sorted by recently watched... Is that possible? Has anyone successfully done that?

Weird bug I found, when you have a path set to the very first widget right below the spotlight (In my case the Movies category) and that path is empty (In my case I don't have any unfinished or In-progress movies), then the curser gets stuck at the category button (Movies) and you cant go up or down, unless of course you use the mouse and hover over the widgets.

This is possibly a bug. The seekbar shouldn't display at all when using tempo control i.e. "Settings > Player > Videos > Sync playback to display" is enabled to allow proper playback speed control.

Though it sounds like you are using FF/RW as a tempo control for playback speed (depending on whether you have sync playback set the pop-up on the OSD will show either FF/RW or tempo control for playback speed). If it's proper FF/RW then it is behaving properly as skin treats FF/RW as seeking, whereas tempo adjustments are considered normal playback (you tell if it is tempo or FF because tempo only goes up to 1.5x whereas FF goes up to 16x).

I don't want to introduce options to change position of seekbar. It makes it too difficult to manage the animations because it no longer has a stable starting position (plus it breaks the skin's dimension rules about screen edge padding and screen edge padding is essential for tvs without options to disable overscan).

I do think in general it would probably make sense for the clearlogo/infoline to be hidden when seeking so that it is only the seekbar. It doesn't solve your issue directly but at least then gives you the option of adjusting your subtitles position upwards.

Ideally, what would happen is the subtitles would automatically slide up when the seekbar is visible but I can't seem to see a way for the skin to override the subtitle positioning.

Seekbar at the top of the screen makes me feel uncomfortable haha. It just feels wrong to me since it is nearly always at the bottom for practically everything else (e.g. Youtube, VLC etc.)

This is a good reminder as I'd been meaning to use the new timer options available in Omega to allow for customising the timeout (it wasn't possible in Nexus as values needed to be hardcoded and I couldn't use the trick I use for the other customisable timers).

Studio icons already work for widgets as long as you select Square style which is the same as in the library.

Yeah it should be fairly straight forward

  1. Go to "Choose shortcut > SkinVariables Custom Filter > Add new..."
  2. Open your in-progress movies path and choose "Add folder..." (then choose "Yes" when asked to add another path)
  3. Open your in-progress episodes path and choose "Add folder..." (then choose "No")
  4. Choose "lastplayed" for sort method and "descending" for sort direction
  5. Choose "none" for filter and exclude
  6. Give your filter a name when prompted
  7. Open the filter you just created and then choose "Add folder..."

Note that Kodi uses its own internal value for "lastplayed" so this is when you last played the item via Kodi. Also note that if you use addons which don't correctly use setresolvedurl then Kodi will not have this data.

If you are using TMDbHelper for these lists, you can get an accurate sort based on trakt's "paused_at" property by adding a custom sort method and entering "trakt_paused_at" without quotes.

This is what the file would be for TMDbHelper:
json:

{
"info": "get_filter_dir",
"library": "video",
"paths": [
"plugin://plugin.video.themoviedb.helper/?info=trakt_inprogress&tmdb_type=movie&widget=true",
"plugin://plugin.video.themoviedb.helper/?info=trakt_ondeck&tmdb_type=tv&widget=true"
],
"sort_by": "trakt_paused_at",
"sort_how": "desc"
}

I can add things to the queue but I'm not seeing an option to manage the queue.  Also, is it possible to add that option to the Power Menu?

Studio icons for widgets, any chance you could support other options than square? Auto widget has a shortcut editor that lets you customise the icon used for each layout, any chance in the future for custom nodes we could choose custom artwork via a gui?


RE: Arctic Fuse - PraiseOdin - 2023-12-03

Can you add a cycling mode to the SkinVariables Custom Filter? Like in Autowidget.

I'm not sure if any other styles of widget suit studios/genres etc. considering that the icons are on square canvas. What style exactly are you expecting to work with studios? Because I can't see any reason to use landscape/poster/banner/card for these...

What exactly are you referring to when you say "custom nodes"? If you mean that you want something similar to a submenu where you can configure individual shortcuts but use it as a widget (e.g. sort of like a "favourites" widget) then I will have something like this built in directly to the widgets customisation very soon. EDIT: This is now in the skin. Choose "Experimental > Submenu" for the widget and then you will get an option "Edit items" where you can choose whatever items you want the widget to have.

If you mean dynamic content via the skinvariables custom filter, I'm not sure I understand how exactly that would work ??
