Sweet mate. Looks like you're using tabs in your editor, the existing skin uses 2 spaces it looks like. No big deal, just clean code

In list view there's a slightly odd jump when you initially scroll down from the top ".." item down to stuff in the list (the image/image placeholder jumps left to make space for the info in the middle) which I don't recall before, but it's just an observation rather than anything I think needs any work or fixing.
All in all top job.

@DarrenHill , could you please try the latest from Git? I think I got rid of that weird jump. Please test and let me know. Thanks.

@bsoriano - just grabbed and updated, and it still looks to be doing it. I'm using list view, and the first time you enter you're at the top .. level without any metadata to be displayed between the art and the list, which makes the list move to the right (to the centre of the screen). Once you scroll down to an entry it shifts to the right and the metadata appears in the middle, and if you go back up again the list stays on the right hand side with a gap now in the middle.
As I said before it's nothing more than cosmetic and not worthy of great efforts, just wanted to flag it up as you were working on the update still.

(2019-03-29, 21:38)DarrenHill Wrote:@DarrenHill , you are correct. I removed the code that i think fixes the jump since I thought it was the culprit for the issue reported in Low List. It turns out it was not, but I forgot to re-add the code. I will do so later today, I'll edit this post when I have done so. Thanks for reminding me!(2019-03-28, 22:38)bsoriano Wrote:(2019-03-26, 15:06)bsoriano Wrote: Thanks!

EDIT: Pushed some changes to Git. It seems the weird jump is fixed in some scenarios, but not others. I have not been able to figure out why yet. Since this is more on the cosmetic side, I will leave it as is for now.

@bsoriano - Feature Request: Episode Next Airing Date when you're are on the TV show banner as it does in Aeon MQ and other skins.
Hopefully you can see it at the top in the image I attached. The IMDB ratings are running so there is an overlay covering it a bit.
Cheers!

RE: Amber for Leia - Billy - 2019-03-30
This might not be a skin thing but one thing that I'd love to be able to do is increase the number of movies/episodes viewable in the 'recently added' view. I think the max is 25 but I'd love to increase it to 50. Is this something configurable in the skin? Or is there a setting somewhere else?
RE: Amber for Leia - DarrenHill - 2019-03-30
There seems to be a bit of a problem also with lists in add-ons. There's overwriting of metadata with the main list, for example from the iPlayer add-on (tested under Windows and LibreElec):

You can change this in the advancedsettings.xml file. Look in the Kodi wiki: https://kodi.wiki/?title=Advancedsettings.xml#videolibrary
Keep in mind, if you do not already have an advancedsettings.xml file in your userdata folder, you will have to create it, as this is not created by default by Kodi.
Also, while you will be able to increase the number of recentlyadded items, in Amber, in the shelves, the maximum number of items is set to 20.

@bsoriano - almost perfect
The list is where it should be now. And no need to apologise. No expectation for testing with every addon and scenario - that's our job as users/testers 
Only one very minor thing - for larger show titles that spread across two lines, the top is getting slightly cut off and I think the right hand side may be as well (I'm guessing below it should say - 3 episodes available, based on my previous screenshot):
It needs repositioning or the element resizing I think, then all will be exactly perfect. A little nitpick I know, but I guess we may as well get it as good as possible.
Thanks again for all the excellent work.
