Please test v12.2.37:

https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Rapier#Dev...Repository

Use one of these tags in the filename:

• .bdxl
  
• .hdr
  
• bd66
  
• bd100
  

...nice!

I will check over the weekend!

How about Media already in the Library with these flags in the filename? Is the new flag expected to appear after a refresh of the Library?

If your files are tagged with one of the above tags, the media flag will appear automatically.

Hi Gade,
i tried out with some other filles with .HDR. or .hdr. in the file name but i do not see any HRR Flag in the Library. How is this supposed to look like??

The Ultra-HD Flag was visible directly ather upgrading the skin. Not even a update of the library required. ...But nothing indicating HDR...strange.

Hi Reelyator.

Great that the flag appears.

Only one flag (Ultra HD Blu-ray) has been added so far as I wrote above: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid3041778

The other flags will be added when I have some more time.

Hi I can't get the enable spashscreen to work when I click on it, it does not enable

Hi E4U Media.

Do you refer to the splash screen in the Skin Settings > General > Startup?
That requires the addon script.skin.helper.service.
However, that addon has not yet been updated to work in Kodi 19.
I will look for a replacement for this function.

Fonts are changed the same way in all skins:

Arial font will support Japanese.

Hi I can't get the enable spashscreen to work when I click on it, it does not enable

I just built the function directly into the skin.
That means that script.skin.helper.service is no longer required for this function.

Please try development version 12.2.37 and let me know if everything works.

Fantastic!
Thanks so much for this.

I will look into it as soon as possible.
Right now I'm extremely busy at work.

No worries, @Gade, take your time. It's not urgent by any means. Thank you for taking a look at it!

Nice!

Still my all-time favourite Skin for Kodi!!

For curiosity, not sure if this is really needed: Is there a media Flag for Dolby Vision? Triggered by .DV. in the file name??

Hi @Reelyator

Thanks for your kind words and support.
I really appreciate it.

Currently there is no media flag for Dolby Vision, but I will add that plus some other ones soon.

[Keksebacker]

Is there a way to disable the genre colors in the epg grid?

I dont know if this is a skin or an PVR backend option.

[skybird1980]

You've to edit the Skin files for this and every update will overdo it since there is no option for this.
i edited the file so there are no genre colors anymore.
its located in userdata\addons\skin.rapier\720p and you have to move it manual.

Hi @Keksebacker
Exactly like @skybird1980 writes, you have to remove the colors in the file itself.
Whenever the skin is updated, the changes are overwritten. And I absolutely recommend always using the newest version.

If this is a general request, I can make a skin setting or a view option to remove genre colors.

[Gade]

I added this as a view option in the development version (v12.3.2).

Please test it out and let me know if it works.
