Thanks for the updates. But I couldn't get the repo to connect. Tried to install the skin by downloading from the repository as well.
My Current Amber version is 3.3.23 from the Kodi repo.

On screen error when updating From Repo:

Could not connect to repository

Scroll across the screen - AMBER The dependency on xbmc.python version 2.24.0 could not be satisfied.
The listing in the Install From Repo menu does show up though, then tells me there are no updates.

If this isn't good enough, just let me know what you need to see
Thanks.  

@TheRealDeadMan , thanks for reporting this.  I made a mistake with the Kodi version in the repo.  I have fixed it now.  Version 1.0.1 of the repo will work correctly.  Install the Amber Matrix repo version 1.0.1 and update Amber from there.  Please let me know if you still run into any issue.  Thanks.

Regards,

Bart

Similar problems loading some plugins.
I do have some installed related to the errors shown (versions further down). I will check the Kodi addons/matrix site and look around the forum to see if there are some newer versions.

Jesus! A reply after 10 minutes !? Man, i love you

So i come from titan skin and Amber seem to be like a good alternative.

So, i have a little bit more suggestions for improvements. I will post it next days with screenshots.

Keep going to you very good work!

  -- They will not be shown by default.  You need to enable this by going to Settings, Amber Settings, Media Views: Show Main Rating and Certification in Media Views

Thank you. Great work.

Just one small request if I may: could you maybe do two separate settings for main rating and certification/MPAA in media views  so I can still see the main rating in mediea views but be rid of the certification?
Thank you.


P.S. BTW is it normal that sometimes in list view when I select the first and sometimes the second episode of a TVshow it takes a second to display the length (time)? I don't think I've noticed this before. I don't know if the length is pulled from the file every time or from the database or if there's some cache rebuilding involved after updating the skin... just thought I'd mention it in case anybody else notices.

Thank you for adding the option for the submenu. But, when i scroll down, amber shows for a very little time the submenü from the other home menu icon in the background. I think, this is a problem from the first version of this option

i will like it, when this option is seperatly for choosing the icons, like often used icons for each category. (for example music => favorite artists, movie => favorite genre etc) it is a great option to makte the skin with better usability
eventually is it possible to seperate the funktion with submenu with a other name and extra option for this.

In the skin options is a option to hide the submenu, this hide  the shelves and the submenu, the shelves should not to hide.

Other thing what i have found:
in some views eg. adons list, the list don´t centered while scrolling.
is it possible to make the list fix while scrolling? I mean, when i scroll down, the list keeps centered and the list goes to the end the list scolling up and i not fix at the end. i like it when the list ist at scolling centered and at the end the marked line goes to to the buttom at the end of the list.
In the shelves we can scroll up to the next shelve. is it possible to scroll down to the shelf below?
I like to use the adons in shelf showed as widget. Aktually you have the option show two shelves togeter, but there ist no option for use more pages in shelfes for more then two shelfes. (one page two shelves, second shlf scroll up, next twoe shelfes together)
Is it possible let run the arist slideshow in background of the music view when music is playing? i don´t like to use the music OSD, there is not possible to jump fast to the next song in the album. You said in the last post you will sometimes redesing the OSD. Can i make a proposal, how i like the OSD for TV, movies or music? 
I really missing on my Android device the back button it shows everywhere. In the standard skin is the back function on top left on the screen without any button. is this a big problem to integrate this for all windows? This makes the operation some easier.
actually can the list view all what i want. But the Logo from the Movie or the artist is a little biss small in the top right. out of view from the design side, it can be two time bigger, the same in the music playing in fullscreen.

in the moment i don´t have more ideas

with kind regards, thank you

Very interesting. Can I just ask: your screenshots suggest you're using LibreELEC. Which add-on did you choose to stream Netflix? How is it working? Any drawbacks? Loss of connection while streaming? Is 1080p possible (without stutter)?

I quite like your suggestion about the small icons media view with some kind of info panel on the right (it looks nice like in your screenshot). And while I don't have many collections I agree that some sort of indicator on the movie poster would be be nice.
