In addition I had a lot of DB errors with Composite. It does not seem to me sufficiently mature yet, but promising.

I use it every day with no problems at all, have done for months, it works great with this skin as well. You should post your issues in the Composite thread.

Honestly, it's not so much bugs in DB that bother me (devs are often reactive), but rather that Composite acts permanently as a gateway to the Plex server when it is not necessary most of the time . Even if it launches the media relatively quickly, it remains slower than the PKC "direct path"

When I was using PKC, I couldn't play trailers in AH, movie info couldn't load actors images. Despite composite is a bit slower compared to PKC, I think it works best with this skin

1. While using an submenu as widget changing the aspect ratio does nothing. Always stays at icon size. Is this a bug or is it intended? Would be nice to set it to square if there are not more than 4 items in a submenu. 🤔

2. Would it be possible to get a lyrics button on the music osd or in the osd menu? And eventually dim the background / cover a little while a song lyric is shown?

3. (Probably not skin related Does anybody know if there is a fix for AutoCompletion so that it not hard crashes / exits kodi when a shown suggestion is clicked? Happens only on Android it seems.
(Switched lately from an Rpi 3 to Firestick 4k to run Kodi.)

4. Would it be possible to set a fallback image for music osd if there is no cover?


Thx for this great skin. The new wall view is awesome. Best skin i've ever used it seems. 😎

1. Intended. However, as drinfernoo mentioned - it is possible to add a path with autowidget that will allow setting an aspect.

2. Added to my todo list: https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arctic.horizon/issues/144

3. I don't use Android, so I'm not sure sorry.

Composite plex addon works better with this skin than PKC.

@hacky4real
I just finished my Composite test.
It works pretty well without much settings but it is far from what PKC offers. With Composite we have a gateway to the DB of the Plex server with possible transcoding. However, PKC can work very well as a gateway without worrying too much, but where PKC is really good is precisely when you configure it to go to "direct path". This allows Kodi to leave the original path of the media, which means that when we launch a media, PKC will first try to give the direct path, so the media starts almost immediately as if PKC was not activated. If transcoding is required where Kodi is not on the local media network, then PKC acts as a gateway. And this is an exclusivity of PKC really very practical.
In addition I had a lot of DB errors with Composite. It does not seem to me sufficiently mature yet, but promising. Especially if PKC is slow to code in python 3 for Kodi 19 compatibility.
On the other hand, with AH, Composite allows me access to my photos, while with PKC I only have access to it under Estuary.
Si it's a skin bug.
I therefore renew my invitation @jurialmunkey for let you audit PKC/AH issue on my installation via Teamviewer.

PKC addon is probably setting the wrong content type - Images need to have Container.Content(images) set.
I don't have time for Teamviewer sessions sorry.

Possible, but why all was ok on Estuary ?

Because Estuary makes a lot of concessions and is designed to work even if addons don't do things properly. Estuary works with everything but is often ugly as a result.

In ordre to be sure that PKC isn't involved, I've just test to access my photos' albums in AZ2 and AZ and it work like a charm.
So, I think that AH is really involved with this bug.

I browse the wall view by going up and down, and it's a bit distracting seeing a letter in the center of the screen each time I move. I tried looking in the settings for an option, but didn't see one (hopefully I didn't overlook it).

The wall view is excellent, btw.
