Was looking for something to get me in the mood for Christmas. Seeing Santa skating across the screen did it for me. Fully up for it now 😂. Lovely touch with the holiday themes

I honestly laugh out loud every time he goes flying by. Really happy that bit of silliness is bringing others joy too.

I was wondering whether it might be possible to modify the default 'built-in' command that is applied when adding shortcuts to Android Apps from a Menu.

Currently, when adding via Shortcuts / Add-ons / Android Add-ons, the desired shortcut is inserted as a media item. Firefox as an example: PlayMedia(androidapp://sources/apps/org.mozilla.firefox) - ultimately resulting in failed playback rather than launching the app.

In almost all circumstances the Action can be manually adjusted to StartAndroidActivity(org.mozilla.firefox) without fuss. The one exception I've spotted is when attempting to shortcut to an Android app on a custom options tile (I'd like to position a tile linking to Android Settings next to the one for Kodi Settings) as there's no field to manually input an Action.

I love this! I always have this idea where you can set Kodi as your default launcher and you can access your android device settings. Then a hub where all your android apps is in wall view... 😍

Yes - I find that to be the most convenient set up on my main device (Minix U22-XJ): Kodi set as the system launcher using "Launcher for XBMC" from the Play Store.
Then shortcuts out to core Android utilities / streaming apps I'm only accessing occasionally.

If we set Kodi as a default launcher, is it safe to shut down device without closing kodi properly?

I'm getting familiar with this Experimental Custom Submenu! I loved it!
Now that I know that I can set Kodi as a system launcher, I used this Custom Submenu to create shortcut to some Android Apps that I'm mostly using.

Hello,

Really loving this theme.
It is possible to hide the left menu to have a full-screen experience? I only use submenus and the right menu is accessible with an input so I don't need the left menu settings button when hiding widgets.


RE: Arctic Fuse - cool0007 - 2023-12-13

Hello dear developer of the magic skin! What keyboard shortcut or key on the remote control or keyboard opens this menu with the films of the selected actor? I can open a movie from this menu with the mouse, but the keyboard is not active in this menu.

I hardly dare to ask, but if I still don't see the update to 0.4.30 on Nexus, then it's because of GitHub, right?

Quote:Updates on Nexus will be more infrequent now that the GUI bump forces me to maintain two versions of the skin.
New features will be first added on Omega as the main branch. Then I will backport to Nexus when I have time.

Yep, I will fix it in next SkinVariables version.

I don't have any Android devices, so I appreciate the detailed info as I'm flying blind on that front.

I'm assuming that all the paths with androidapp:// should use StartAndroidActivity() command, correct?

I've just updated to the latest SkinVariables (2.0.20) - thanks a lot for the adjustment.  After testing, I'd recommend one additional tweak:

The parentheses should contain the Android package name only - eg StartAndroidActivity(org.mozilla.firefox)  
 
The string currently generated via SkinVariables also includes the directory precursors - eg StartAndroidActivity(sources/apps/org.mozilla.firefox) - which seems to be enough to prevent Kodi from launching it.

Ok thanks @Dude6561

Is this in the repo as I can't find it?

Gotcha. I'm flying a bit blind here since I can't test myself, so I'm not quite certain how to get just the package name via JSON RPC.

Was this handled automatically with SkinShortcuts? I'll try to have a look at its code to see how it manages it as seems it needs special handling.

Yeah. It's off by default. Setting to enable it is under expert skin settings.

Yeah there's no labels per path yet but will have something for that soon.

Any updates for this feature for SkinVariables boss? Or if it's not in the GUI, could you please guide me through how to make it work if it's not too much to ask?

No - With SkinShortcuts it was always a question of manually inputting the string in the 'Action' field while building the menus. It's only since the integration of SkinVariables that we are now presented with the opportunity to drill down to the list of installed apps in order to make an automated shortcut selection.

If it's not a straightforward fix I certainly wouldn't recommend devoting much time & energy to it - With the exception of the options tiles it's easy enough to continue entering them manually throughout the skin, and anyone sufficiently determined can still get the options tiles working by adjusting a couple of lines in the AF settings file.
