Hi ! this version for Kodi 21 works fine, thanks you very much ! shortcuts were again operational.
But i notice that there is a problem for dvd menu .It can't read anymore.Before everything run good.
The structure/menu DVD start correctly and now nothing happen, even vob freeze.(and for blu ray/4K it depends like always).
Any idea ?

Anyway, once again for the best skin for kodi !

RE: Metropolis 4.2.0 for Kodi 21 (Omega) - jingai - 2024-10-03

I honestly don't know why the skin would have anything to do with the DVD's menu. Does this not happen with other skins?

I don't personally have access to any DVDs at this point (or even an optical drive of any kind).

RE: Metropolis 4.2.0 for Kodi 21 (Omega) - Movie_Fan - 2024-10-03

Thanks for your quick answer.

You're right, this is not the skin.

This is the new version of Kodi (Omega) who no longer plays iso dvd files...

On the OSD you have the subtitles menu and their is the subtitle offset which when you click you get the bar on the top to set the offset. That can happen with a key that you will assign, for + and - in the subtitles delay

The same principle is also applied to the positioning of the subtitles move up or down, again with a key from the key map editor. Yes i know i set the position globally on the video calibration but my TV is old and some times the resolution changes thus the position changes of the sub.

Can i edit an .xml or something to put on the subtitle options menu with the subtitle offset to add one that will display the bar for the positioning of the subtitle ?

Thanks!

Short answer is no.
There isn't really a built in way to call the screen calibration (which controls where the subtitles are placed).
Metropolis doesn't really create those menus for the settings menu it just dictates how it looks when called.
You "might" be able to set a keycode for a remote or keyboard like this to call the menu:

Code:
<keymap>

      <global>

         <keyboard>

            <f9>Action(calibrate)</f9>

         </keyboard>

     </global>

</keymap>

or maybe they'll make these work inside a skin one day :

Code:
<keymap>

    <FullscreenVideo>

        <keyboard>

            <f9>SubtitleShiftUp</f9>

            <f10>SubtitleShiftDown</f10>

            <f11>SubtitleAlign</f11>

        </keyboard>

    </FullscreenVideo>

</keymap>

they may actually work, but I've never tried them.
I think this user was having the same issue.
