RE: Arctic Horizon - NotYourAverageAl - 2020-04-30

@jurialmunkey hi mate, the onclick transition on the wall view works perfectly now, great work.

Not sure if this a bug & hopefully I make sense.
Once you scroll into a full screen widget (skin default), left scrolling does not take you back to the main menu like other widgets. There's infinite scroll of your library when you left click. 
You can scroll up and down between main menu widgets, but a left scroll still wont take u back to the main menu like normal, even lets say u end up in the Movie peek widgets; you get locked in unless you press back/return. You can get focus back in the peek widgets if u right click.

I'd see this a confusing to less than power users. Setting a Full Screen widget path does not resolve.

BUG: The latest build of themoviedb helper show infinite busy loop when you click on the image of a cast in AH video info.

Should be fixed now.

I can't replicate this bug. In the full screen widget, pressing left opens the main menu for me (assuming that I'm on the first item of the fullscreen widget of course).

Do you mean that you would be able to access the left menu bar from any window in the skin?

I actually had something like this in a version of the skin before I released it. Shouldn't be too difficult to add back in.

It's more a question of how to navigate to it. I'm not really sure how you would go about causing it to open?

Fixed, thanks  Cool

@jurialmunkey 
First pictures set show all my steps to set a shortcut for displaying my albums with PKC in Arctic Zephyr 2. It works fine.
Second pictures set (in second post) show the same steps in Arctic Horizon.

RE: Arctic Horizon - jurialmunkey - 2020-05-01

@myghalloween - Yes, that is very helpful! However, it confirms what I said early about it being an addon issue.

PKC is setting the incorrect content type. As you can see in the top right of screen, it is setting content to "Photos" -- which is NOT a valid content type. Valid content types are: files, songs, artists, albums, movies, tvshows, seasons, episodes, musicvideos, genres, years, actors, playlists, plugins, studios, directors, sets, tags, countries, roles, images
https://kodi.wiki/view/Skinning_Manual#Container
https://codedocs.xyz/AlwinEsch/kodi/group__python__xbmcplugin.html#gaa30572d1e5d9d589e1cd3bfc1e2318d6

The reason it still works in skins like Estuary and AZ2 is because those skins are more forgiving to addons that set invalid content types. With Arctic Horizon however, the skin is reliant on content type being valid to set the correct viewtype.

You will need to speak to the author of PKC and request that they set the correct content type of "images".
EDIT: I've reported the issue to the PKC author: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=262621&pid=2945791#pid2945791


RE: Arctic Horizon - TexasRules777 - 2020-05-01

Hey Jurial just have a quick question. I usually don't mess around with my Kodi setup til the weekend but I logged onto my setup and updated my apps and such and now my clear art isn't really showing up? I'd say maybe 2 out of 30 will. I've tested it on both a 4k stick and a Nvidia shield with Horizon and Zephyr 2 with the same results. The only updates I had were your skins and dependencies and I only use PKC and there wasn't an update for that. It's been working fine up till today. Is there a setting I'm missing or a cache that needs rebuilding? I'm just super confused why it stopped loading clear art.

What braz did in Omni is he repositioned the sideblade menu to the right and had the left home menu bar always accessible from each window. Take a look at Omni or my fork if you like, at: https://github.com/daedalusbln/skin.omni202

It seems that the fanart tv API image server is down, so it is most likely that (their website is working but images aren't available via the API at the moment).

Clearart is working for me where the images have already been cached by Kodi - but anything that needs to download is currently not working.

I don't have a sideblade menu. The options menu is opened via a button.

The issue isn't about where to position the menu, the issue is that there is no navigation direction available to access the menu.
UP opens plot overlay.
DOWN opens wall/scrollbar.
LEFT/RIGHT scrolls the view.

In the interest of trying to revive the upper-left icons in early shots from AH, would it be feasible to have a way to disable the plot overlay, and have up go to that? I recognize that doesn't help people that want the overlay, though...

Cool. I thought it might be a server issue. Thanks!
