You probably already know this but some newer flags are missing, example dtsx.

I also noticed that you implemented blur in dialogvideoinfo. Would you consider an option to blur with poster? When you blur with fanart all the black and white movies blur the same. Poster adds a unique color to the background.

Thanks

@Edworld, thanks! I am aware, but do not have the graphic design skills to create them myself.

And certainly, I will implement an option to blur with poster.

Regards,

Bart

EDIT: @Edworld , functionality to blur with poster is already on Git and in the Amber repo.  Please test and let me know.  Thanks.


RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - bsoriano - 2019-10-13

Hello all,

I just pushed version 3.2.25 to the Amber repo. Main change is a new setting in Settings, Amber Settings, Video Info: Use Poster for Blur.  When you enable this, the skin will use the movie poster instead of the fanart for blurring.

Regards,

Bart

Hello all,

Amber version 3.2.23 for Leia and 3.3.23 for Matrix are now included in the Kodi repo. Thanks for all your testing and feature requests/suggestions! Smile

Regards,

Bart


RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - Edworld - 2019-10-15

small bug:

A. I. Artificial Intelligence - poster in dialogvideoinfo doesn't show up, I don't have that issue with other skins.

Edit 1:
Aliens 3
The Aviator

I will keep testing


RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - mmmkot - 2019-10-16

Hi everyone,

First of all I'd like to say I'm using Amber since a couple of years and it's a truly impressive skin, so thanks for the work.

Since October 2019 releases, I'm no more able to change images (posters, fanarts, ...). I can't find the option neither in the information screens nor anywhere else. Am I missing something?

Thanks

@mmmkot, thanks for your feedback. What exactly are you trying to do, could you please be more specific? That way I could assist you better. Thanks.

Hi Bart,

I was used to changing some of the default posters or fanarts for movies or TV shows (for instance to avoid to see the same image as the poster and the fanart...).
I was doing this through the information window of each item (there was a "Change image" button, or something like that), but since last releases I can't find this option anymore.
Is this something that you deleted, or do I find this option somewhere else in the skin?

Regards,
Mathieu

@mmmkot, thanks for the additional info. The option to change image is now found in the “Extras” button in the video info dialog, along with other artwork related options. Please check and let me know. Thanks.

Bart

I definitely tried the "Extras" button, but it only allows me to do a research on YouTube. I don't have any other option than this one in Extras...

That’s strange, it should be there. Is your movie/tv show scanned into the Kodi database? What version of Amber are you using? What version of Kodi and with which OS? (Windows, Linux, etc.) Could you also post a screenshot of the video info dialog? Thanks.

Bart

OK, I found the "bug".
I was trying to change the image directly from the widget I customized on the home movie menu. It used to work before the last releases but it doesn't anymore, the Extras button doesn't show all the options.
But if I enter into the movies or TV shows menu, it does work perfectly well as you said.
It's just a minor bug at the widget level Smile

@mmmkot , what widget are you using? It should work if the content is local.  Please let me know so I can look into the code and see where I need to apply a fix.  Thanks.

I said "widget", but you named it "shelves". So whatever shelf I use on the home menu (for instance Recently added movies, or Random movies) the Extras button only shows "Search YouTube" but none of the artwork options.
