I thought I was the only one. I understand most of them but a few I have no idea. It's like it does nothing.

a lot of them are leftover junk that may not even serve a purpose anymore from the days of old from the original titan... there have been a Ton of changes throughout the years.

The worst is the custom colour settings. Some just make no sense or others just aren’t descriptive enough to know what the hell you’re changing. Like, you change a colour of a header and it somehow also changes a colour of a plot text shadow elsewhere! In general things like plottexts colours and header/sublabel colours just weren’t logically assigned either.

So getting better but still having a little issue with my libraries. So as the pictures show, Artwork beef is doing its job and downloaded all fanart.

I am left with fanart showing down the widget line of posters. This setup of library has one folder with all movies in it and fanart downloaded to it.

If I put all movies in individual folders and again let artwork download I get the same thing.

What am I doing wrong? How do I stop the fanart staying hidden until it's enabled for background or gallery etc?

That looks like your widget is pointing to the folder where your movies are..as all your artwork etc is in that folder your widget shows everything in it. What happens if you add a common widget, i.e: recently added movies, random movies, titles etc. I have had a similar issues when using a folder path saved as a favorite, I think there is a setting in Settings, Library-videos- show all items, maybe turn this to off.

Yes your right the widget is pointing to the library folder. So where else would I be able to access the detail from that folder without getting all of the fanart? I will have to try your idea above later as I'm leaving for work now.

But if there is another place to point my widget to access the content in the folder please let me know as I think that will sort my issue. At this point if you could lay it out like I've never done anything like this before would be great... as I'm pulling teeth trying to get this right. Cheers T.

Just to be sure, are you scanning the movies to libary? Are the movies in your folder all of your movies or just a selection of several movies. I have all my horror movies in a seperate folder called horror. I made a playlist with a rule of Path, is, then browse to the folder " horror" then added this as a widget. I will try to get some screen shots, I have an nvidia shield like you, so will have to figure it out.

Its a small selection as I'm just in the testing faze I only have 4 movies in the folder just for ease. Once its up I'll add the rest.

You tell me what it is you thinkni need to do or point my widget where ever and I'll do it.

 I think I figured it out…. ish
I followed AchillesPunks steps to make my hub “anime”
Then to add widget specific to anime I Made smart playlists.
In smart playlist set patits to anime folder on HDD. Then in same playlist add-genre-comedy. Then at bottom choose random. Repeat for all genres you want.
Then go back to my hub “anime” add widget-select video addons -skin helper service widgets-tv-playlists-the playlist you made-add as widget.

Why not put all your movies in there own folder matching the movie name? Use files2folder will do the trick. Then place all the movies that are in there movie folder in a centeral folder called movies. Then let kodi do the work, and you won't have all these problems.

I just watched a video on using file 2 folder is this not for pc based setups? I'm using a shield to avoid all complications its better for me to create a library manually and implement the settings so Titan Bingie works with that.

Im looking at what Tankman37 has last said and holding out for him to let me know how he created his library and what he directed his widgets too to access content without showing a string of fanart at the same time.

Do you not have your media on a external HDD? If so files2folder will work.
