RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Resurrection - nguyen710rd - 2021-07-13

I install the zip succesfully but when I choose the repository it say "Could not connect to repository". Could it be a problem with the server?

I doubt.
Please go to settings > add-ons > press "Left" key to open hidden menu and click on "Check for updates": https://imgur.com/7nvYKjY
It should resolve the issue Smile

I did check for updates but it seem like it the newest version. Beside I just add the repo from the afternoon and one again about 30min ago.

Thanks.

I doubt. I did not touch trailers at all. Something happened? Any errors?

Very strange, because trailers are working for addons content but not for local library any more. Not sure what is causing this..

Great - thanks!

In my actual media files on my NAS, if a movie or tv show begins with "A" or "The," I put it at the end of the folder name (e.g.: "Americans, The" instead of "The Americans"). I just like things in alphabetical order in my file structure. This has never been a problem in Kodi before today.

Since the update, any show or movie with this file or folder naming structure throws me a "Playback failed" error if I try to play it through the DialogVideoInfo "Play" button, but will play normally if I highlight the file in Kodi without going to the Information page and pressing play on my remote. 

Looking at the log file (I can post it if it would help), it seems there's multiple errors - first it can't find the folder of the show/movie on my NFS share (it doesn't seem to complete the name in it's search, leaving off the ", The" in "Americans, The"). Further down, it pops another error when trying to play the actual file, but I noticed the file name it's displaying adds "EXTRAS" after the proper name when that's not at all a part of the file name. It's the weirdest thing. 

I've already tried reinstalling the skin directly from github and that didn't fix it. Like I said, those files play just fine in the Estuary skin and they were working fine just a few days ago in Resurrection as well. They also play just fine if I play them directly instead of going through the DialogVideoInfo page. I have to assume this is a skin issue. Any idea what's going on?
Hey @nfm886 - Any ideas what could be going on here?
I will take a look on it. Lately I did huge change to how items are playing from DialogVideoInfo. Probably that's the reason I broke something :/
I don't have much time lately, also I'm working on new Home layout. Please be patient, I will fix it as soon as possible.

#edit
Meanwhile I would like to post some drafts of the new Home Layout: https://imgur.com/a/my6WzXU I'm working right now.
Any progress made on this DialogVideoInfo bug?

Sorry, I just came..) Thank you very much for the new update! I noticed that you added a lot of good features, including the delay of the trailer) As for the posters, I watched the video (Thank you also separately a lot for the video that you made so that everyone could configure and do everything the way you have!) The posters are the same)) I was just imagining something for myself)) I just thought at first when I watched the video that you made posters like Bingie mode) Laugh

I have also now the long version of posters. I recall there was a version of the skin with less long posters and more width..

Thanks pal.. It worked really well with previous version and cannot get it back to work. Any one else having issues with local files and trailers on home screen flix view?


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Resurrection - Iffzn - 2021-07-13

Hello, I wanted to ask if someone knows what the icons in the view type list mean?

For example when I go to TV-shows, sometimes it shows me a star, sometimes a box, what do they mean? And is it possible to hide them somehow?

Ive been trying to find out but googling didnt help me Sad

Love the skin!

You mean this one:

?

I think I know what causing it. But must check previous version and see changes I made between 0.5.3 -> 0.5.4
Also I have to reproduce error here, on my laptop to see the bug in the action Tongue
Sorry if it took too long. As you can there was a lot of changes made but now, when we are after release of new layout, we can do some bug fixes Smile

They are came from different services. IMDB, RottenTomatoes, etc. You can disable it.
Go to skin settings > Library > Choose displayed ratings and disable "TheMovieDb".

I hope I understood it well Wink

Hey. I have to think a little bit how to implement this. It's not that easy because when you click on the movie from widget, it will do default action for it, so for example, it will display "Choose Action" dialog where you can choose between number of players or... it will play the movie since you have it on your library.
For now I added option to set delay to playing trailers in Flix View. So you can choose between: https://imgur.com/SWqmSGC
It's all I can do now. Maybe in the future I will have an idea how to implement "manually" playing trailers Wink

Cheers, no issue at all and you already did great work on trailers!


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Resurrection - Xiclops - 2021-07-13

Hi Heppen,

Thanks for all the hard work on the Flix view lately. It looks great. I don’t think the trailers play on Amazon Fire-devices though. I use a Fire TV and no matter what I set the time to they don’t seem to play. I’m personally not too fussed, but thought it might be worth mentioning.

I do have two requests:

- Would it be possible to have options to customise what buttons are visible in the video OSD? With the latest update two new buttons (that I’d like to hide) were added and I unfortunately lost the video-debug button that I added with Yoda the other day.

- - Would it be possible to have the same views when viewing artists and/or albums in the music library? The original Kodi skin had a viewtype that makes the squares quite small (allows you to see more in one screen), where as the smallest possibility currently for AZ2 is essentially the largest version on the default Kodi skin.

Thanks again!!
