UPDATE #13 - This will update the skin to v1.0.1.3

Image Additions
  • I added the back and spine images to Shelf 3D for Movies. I renamed the image thumbback.jpg to back.jpg to be consistent with Music art. Thanks to nomnom27 for the request!
  • I added the "DIALOGUE ACTRESS ART" setting in the Top Menu as well as the actress art in Video Info to Episodes. Thanks to Juan Mortyme for the request!
  • I added the "SHOW ACTRESS NAME" button in the Top Menu to TV Shows and Episodes for the Right List view. I also added the "EXTRA ART" button to Episodes. Thanks to Juan Mortyme for the request!

Image Bug fixes
  • I fixed a problem with the regular/animated focus surround for KodiFlixTV when the layout is Default and Center List is enabled. Thanks to andrzejls for reporting the bug!
  • I fixed a problem with KodiFlixTV where the episode thumbnail would slide to the left of the surround border when the "DEFAULT" layout and "CENTER LIST" was selected.
  • I fixed a problem with languages not displaying while using the Arial fontset. The arial.ttf font file was not the correct version. Thanks to wuwei163 for reporting the bug!

ImageMaintenance
  • I increased the panel fanart size in Shelf 3D to be the same as Shelf 3D v2. Thanks to nomnom27 for the request!
  • The "ARTWORK HELPER FANART" artwork setting now displays in the Top Menu when viewing Seasons. Thanks to MB1968 for the request!
"latts9932", great update, thanks for your hard work!. One question; in "PANEL" view for the TV_Shows you place a secondary backgroud shadow ("darkgrey.png") in  ViewPanel.xml in "Panel_Dimmer" section. Do we need this?. I end-up removing this on all of my kodi installs. IMHO without it make a display a little bit clearer. Please advise.

If I could make a wish @latts9923
I find layout 6 totally beautiful but one thing bothers me there
The rating stars show.
Could you make a layout that is like Layoout 6 but without this rating display ?

Image
I normally use Layout 7 but do occasionally, actually rarely...LOL, use 6 as well. I also don't use/like the ratings on the screen and have edited the Musicvisulization.xml file to remove all of that for Layout 6 and 7. It is not difficult to do but you need to use an xml editor (I use xml wrench). To make it easy when Latts pushes an update that includes any changes to the Musicvisualization.xml file the easiest thing to do is use something like DiffMerge.
Hello @wags1
Of course I could try to change it myself but I have too little experience and before nothing works at the end, I would rather @latts9923 would do it ;-)

It looks like the studio icons are displaying for items that display the studio name in the list.

@Blackysb
There is not a button to turn off the language/subtitle flags.

@Bruce_Banner
@daniko
If you open the file ViewShelf3D.xml, you will see "$INFO[ListItem(0).Art(discart)]" listed in four controls. Remove those controls and the discart will no longer appear. For the Video OSD, the discart is tied to the "MEDIA INFO IN OSD MENU" setting in Skin Settings.

@wuwei163
I was able to reproduce your problem. I will look into it.

@majeedpk
It sounds like you're trying to install a Leia version of SHS. If you install the Marcelveldt Repo you can install the Matrix version (currently 1.1.38). I haven't tried Universal Movie Scraper. I use The Movie Database and I see actor info just fine.

Thanks.

@LarryFlynt
I've noticed that Matrix hangs on exit at times with Windows as well.

@YinYang
@wags1
I added a new button in the music viz settings named "HIDE RATING STARS" that is only visible for layout 6 & 7.

@andrzejls
Thank you...and you're welcome! The darkgrey.png texture highlights the unfocused items. It makes the focused item stand out a little more.

You mean I don't have to manually change the MusicVisualization.xml file every time an update comes out anymore...what am I going to do with all that free time...LOL...Thanks Latts!!!


RE: Aeon MQ 8 for Matrix - Holzfred - 2021-07-05

Hello Latts,

again something going wrong in view 6. You see the logo in the disk, but its not shown in the right. Also the logo is showing in the menu. Sometimes I see the logo when I playing a album from one artist. But allways the first title is without logo. Maybe you find it out why it happens...

RE: Aeon MQ 8 for Matrix - Bruce_Banner - 2021-07-05

Hello again. Now I have tested Kodi 19.1 with MQ 8 Matrix
but I get constant skin helper errors + that Kodi constantly crashes on PC.
Probably some addons not updated to python. So I return to Kodi 18.9.

But thanks again for a great mod.

If you upgrade to Matrix versus a clean install their are a bunch of dependencies/addons that don’t get automatically updated, particularly if you don’t have all your repos updated. I remember that I had to go thru and delete some addons that were no longer used and update others. IIRC getting the new cherrypy instaljed was the key.

Here is a post I made back when I did my upgrade, it may help - Finally got Skin Helper Service to install. I apparently had some hold over addons still installed that I had to uninstall first...cherrypy (and another addon that had to be uninstalled before I could uninstall cherrypy), beautiful soup, and the old Skin Helper Service. Once I did that I was able to install the new cherrypy and skin helper service.
Update - also had to go thru and delete all the incompatible addons that I found. Seems to have fixed the issues I was having.

Hi Latts,

something I found out. After I reboot my PC it works all fine. In one moment I see a failure with extendedinfo.script and after that the logos are not shown anymore. This failure stay also after closing Kodi (something stay in the memory) and open Kodi. Only reboot fix this bug. 

In the log only i find mistakes with SHS together with python. Now I clear the log and when the bug next time coming again, i send the log.

RE: Aeon MQ 8 for Matrix - Buzzie - 2021-07-06

Hello,

Blackreign66 has made a mod for the mediaflags for Aeon MQ 8.
His version is for Kodi 18.9 only but i have read that latts has also added them to his version that works with Matrix.
How can i find and enable them?

Thanks. I will test and see if it works on my PC.
Since I make an backup of Kodi on the PC, which I then use on my Nvidia TV, I do not want constant errors.

@wags1
LOL...you're welcome!

@Holzfred
Let me take a look and I'll get back with you.

@Buzzie
I remember adding some icons provided by Blackreign66, but I don't remember what they were. I'll see if I can figure out which icons were added.

I just want to write and thank wags1 for the help I got with my errors in Aeon Matrix. It was very helpful. I ignore installing addons as I still do not what they are for
Ex script favorites that gave me error.
So thanks wags1
