"View" problem with IPTV client - kcca - 2017-10-10
Hi,
first of all, I love this theme, it's for me actually the best.
Thanks for your job !
But, I have a problem with the "view" mode and my IPTV client only.
Actually, when I go in my IPTV client, the view is in "list" and I don't like this mode for choose TV channels. I prefer "thumbnail" because is fast and clear.
But, I don't know why, when I select my view and go back or exit Kodi, thumbnail doesn't save and "list" mode go is back.
And no problem with movies and series.
Is it possible to save "thumbnail" mode by default when I select IPTV client ?
Thanks in advance (and sorry for my bad english)

Code:<defaultcontrol always="true">50</defaultcontrol>
500 is the thumbnail view. Be careful to use a list type view not a library view
For information, "My***Nav.xml" is in : AppData\Roaming\Kodi (or XBMC)\addons\skin.***** (search your skin)\720p (or 1080i or equivalent)\MyVideoNav.xml

Code:<views>500,51,50,550,551,560,501,508,504,503,505,511,720,722,723,724,725,737</views>
And a serious thing exit XBMC and rename your "guisettings.xml" to something like "Orig-guisettings.xml" and restart XBMC. you'll be back at default everything but you should start seeing the view you want as default.
Be warned there are knock on effects when you try to change things like the default view and you might run into issues later on.
Edit getting the skin to decide if there was enough info to use a media info view and if not fallback to thumbnails would be a major skin edit
Works perfectly !
