RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - zimbo - 2019-12-22
Hi, thank you for your nice skin. I need help by the skin preferences. If I play a Various Artist Album the Fanart of the first Artist is always shown. Is there an option that the skin change to the next artist and also change to the belong fanart?

I am using Kodi 18.5 on my Nvidia Shield TV with Amber 3.2.31 and Embuary helper 1.3.6 downloaded from the Kodi add-on repository.
Have you noticed the same problem ?
Should I use another version of Embuary helper available elsewhere than in the Kodi add-on repository ?
It is each time that I want to display the information window of a video with accented characters (like é, è, ê or à for example) in its title.
With videos that don't have accented characters in their title, it works fine and I don't get this error message.
@bsoriano, would you know where this problem with Embuary helper can come from ? Can you fix it in Amber ?
Merry Christmas.

My apologies for the late answer. Are you sure you have the latest versions of embuary helper and embuary info? I do not have that issue in Windows with any tv show or movie, even those with accented characters in the title.

- Android TV 9 Pie.
- Kodi 18.5.
- Amber 3.2.31.
- Embuary helper 1.3.8.
- I installed Embuary info last night, so this should be the last update.
You use Kodi on Windows. For my part, I use Kodi on Android TV on my Nvidia Shield TV.
Would this problem come from there ?
Has anyone else seen this problem on Android TV ?
That would be a shame to have to deactivate Embuary helper just for that.

RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - DarrenHill - 2019-12-31
I think I stumbled upon a minor regression yesterday when setting up a new device.
Trying to set the backgrounds for the various menu screens, and now the options seem to be limited to the Amber folder and its sub-folders, whereas before you could include images from anywhere on the device. There seems to be no way to move up above the Amber folder any longer, at least that I could see just using a remote.
Not a major issue as I just moved the desired background images into the Amber folder to access them, but thought I'd mention it.
This is on a Pi4 under LE 9.20, using the current Kodi repo version of Amber.

@DarrenHill, hello and Happy Holidays!
I added that feature because there was no easy way to get to the skin folder to choose one of the default backgrounds provided. At least with a keyboard, if you press back you can go up the folder hierarchy and choose whatever folder you want. Do you have any of your remote control keys mapped to Back? If so, does using this key let you move up the folder hierarchy? If not, please let me know and I will figure out a different way to access the skin’s background folder or remove the feature altogether. Thanks.
Regards,
Bart
RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - DarrenHill - 2019-12-31
@bsoriano - thanks Bart, and a happy new year to you too
Yes, back works exactly as you say, and gives full access.
Not the most intuitive route, but functional enough to do the job (especially as it's not exactly something that's going to be commonly needed every day). And as I can't think of any better way to do it either it can be considered resolved...

I did not code that, it is just there in Kodi. Given that I don't know of any other way (than telling skinshortcuts what folder to start in when you want to select a background) to do what I wanted, I will remove this so that it is easier for the users to select whatever folder they want for backgrounds.

RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - bsoriano - 2019-12-31
Hello all,
I apologize for the lack of updates lately. Real life has a way of taking up all of your time. I have just pushed version 3.2.32 (Leia) to my GitHub and to the Amber repo.
Main changes:
1. The Search function (main menu item) is customizable. I have added a new skin settings category, Search (found in Settings, Amber Settings, Search). There you will see a "Select Search Categories" option. When you select that, you will see a dialog that lets you enable/disable all of the possible search categories the skin offers in the Search main menu item. They are all enabled by default. As of this moment, the option and all of the category names are in English only. I will localize that in the next update.
2. This is just behind the scenes, but I had been troubled by navigation issues that I had not figured out how to do correctly. With the gracious help from @jurialmunkey , I was able to solve the issues I was having and have improved the navigation of all custom lists in the video info dialog, tmdb person dialog and embuary info person and video dialogs. Also in the search window. As a user, you probably will not notice any difference.
I wanted to get this release out before the end of this year. If nobody finds any major issues, I will be submitting this version to the Kodi repo next week.
Happy New Year to all of you, and thank you so much for your continued support and use of Amber
Regards,
Bart
RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - Cyberdom - 2019-12-31
Thank you for the update I just installed.
I also updated Embuary helper with version 1.3.9.
I reactivated Embuary helper but the error message is still there with the videos which have accented characters in their title.
It looks like a similar problem described here :

@bsoriano, can you fix this problem from Amber or can you notify the developer of Embuary helper to fix it ?
Pending a fix, I'm using Amber but with the Embuary helper disabled

@Cyberdom, are you running Kodi Matrix? Maybe it is a Matrix in Android issue. In that thread you mentioned the problem was solved installing the latest version of Embuary helper from sualfred's repo.
This is not something that I can fix from the skin. What is the name of the movie that is giving you this issue, and what are the steps to reproduce the problem? I will change the name of one of my movies and try, but in Windows.
I can send the info to the developer, but I would need you to post (or PM me) a link with a full debug log, and a copy of your video database to see exactly how the title is stored in the db.
Happy New Year as well to you and your family!
Regards,
Bart

It was a similar problem except that for him, it was the accented characters in the genres that posed the problem.
