Yes, i looked into it now and it affect many views. Portrait Icon Info is the view i use for listing all my tv shows, so a bit misleading info from me as i only use that view there.

However, once inside a tv show seeing the seasons i use LIST --> Cover and Info 2. And here it is overlapping.

Here is the views i found overlapping:

List: All of them
Coverflow: Focus, Cascade, Kodiflix+Kodiflix landscape (also doble PG rating icons)
Icon info: Banner, Landscape

I also notice on some of the other views there is only a few logo's showing, like Studio and PG-rating logo and nothing else. I dont know if it is suppose to be like this from Mr. V or not. It dont bother me though, i dont use those views but want to mention it.

Yes, the other views with the limited icons have place location values and limited icon display and that is by design for that panel. That doesn't mean it can't be changed, but for the sake of bug fixing, I am almost half way through fixing all the view templates... what you don't see if you don't use it, is that, the same view panel is used for music as well with ITS own type of icons too... so for fun... do this... make a folder... add like i dunno...... 20-30 of your favorite MP3 files (make sure you have a couple songs from same artist just for fun.... ) and then use the music entry point from the home screen and try the same overlapping view templates... you will see how the panel is reused for audio and the icons for that type of media is placed the same way... and they are actually pretty nice to see as well... so I have to also handle that as well. 

You are kind of in the same boat I am, I use very specific areas of the skin and other areas not (like PVR, widgets) so much so it leaves a question mark of ..... "is this right?" ...  I'm right there with you sometimes scratching my head. But the idea is that once we get past all the baseline milestones, we can go back and make it how we like and what makes sense to the masses.

I am hoping to release the update today as it doesn't take much to make the changes, I just have to be meticulous about it to ensure I don't break anything and then test each view after I make the change... so more view intensive than labor.

You should be on version .04 for a dev release if you are using the repository. You'll see it up rev automatically when I push the data.

For the sake of feedback, are you using the repository to do the updates or still doing the install by zip method?

[Simkin84]

For now im using ZIP method. I dont mind updating it manually, as i have "modded" the "Included MedaFlags" for my liking to icons.

I have a thread about WEB-DL icon not showing on 4K media, so i had to remove three lines in the MediaFlags file;

<value condition="String.IsEqual(ListItem.VideoResolution,4k) | String.Contains(ListItem.filename,UHD)">$VAR[MediaFlagsPathVar]videocodec/4k.png</value>
<value condition="String.IsEqual(Container(7005).ListItem.VideoResolution,4k) | String.Contains(Container(7005).ListItem.filename,UHD)">$VAR[MediaFlagsPathVar]videocodec/4k.png</value>
 <value condition="String.IsEqual(VideoPlayer.VideoResolution,4k) | String.Contains(Player.filename,UHD)">$VAR[MediaFlagsPathVar]videocodec/4k.png</value>

Ok, the only solution i have found is to remove these 3 lines (in my previous post) in the "Includes_MediaFlags" file, and replace the "hevc" flag with the "Ultra-HD BluRay" (rename the BluRay flag to hevc, or else you get the HEVC flag instead) This way my 4K Bluray and 4K WEB-DL videos get the correct flag. 4K HDTV also get the correct flag.
1080p BluRay encoded in HEVC/H.265 is not affected, and show the correct "old" bluray flag.

As for now, im gonna keep it like this.

I have also replaced the Media/Flag folder with icons i have gathered here and there, so i guess if updates are pushed through repository these changes will be gone?

Here is how i have it now

[kittmaster]

I saw that thread and I'll be expanding the media flags to support 4/8k flags, I just need to find the source icons, unless you wish to provide them, I'll work out how to incorporate them.

And yes, it will overwrite everything when it all comes down off the server exactly as the repo shows it as the source files and configuration.

[Simkin84]

I can upload my icons if you want.

Also one more thing. I noticed the "last aired" information and the icons are now moved as you need to click on one of the tv shows to see it. (Portrait Icon Info)

Is it moved by purpose? I find it useful to have the last aired info and icons where all my tv shows are listed.

I have the same thing happening, the fix is: 

Settings > Interface Settings > Add-ons > TheMovieDb Helper is installed and enabled... refreshed skin

[Simkin84]

TheMovieDB helper is installed.. How do i refresh the skin? Have tried switching the skin to the original kodi skin and back.

I have the info if i go into one of the shows, like Airwolf as i also have
But out where all the tv shows are, its not showing. Which it did in Mr. V version

Verify your file in addons View_530_PortraitIconInfo.xml is time stamp modified as: 3/3/2024 @ 10:35am.

If it is, exit Kodi and restart it, if you are doing in place file replacement while it is active and then looking, it probably won't update correctly.

I just pushed an update about 40 minutes ago.

You will probably have to forgo the custom media tags temporarily until we get through the major update hurdles. If you send me the icons, I can probably integrate them and then you can just use the repository to update instead of messing around with in place updates (assuming that is what you're doing). There are lots of files changing and I'm soon moving to updating to different scripts and methods to meet all the new deprecation call outs... so this is going to get ugly real quick if you're trying to do incrementals....  but I believe the last update solves the overlapping for all the views if you can check that out.

[Simkin84]

How can i send you the files?

Last update fixed the overlapping issue. View_530_PortraitIconInfo is time stamped/modified 3/3/2024 @ 08:21pm.

Also, when installing the skin through zip, i need to change the xbmc.gui version from 5.15 to 5.17 in the addon.xml or else it wont show up. I tried briefly to install the skin through repository but could not get it to work, could it be the same "gui" issue?

Go to System -> Settings -> File Manager -> Left Panel -> Double click Add source -> Double click -> Copy/Paste this link: https://kittmaster.github.io/KittmasterRepo/ -> Click "Done".

I do this, but when im going to do the next step

Go to System -> Add-ons -> Install from repository -> Select Kittmaster Repo ( or the name you provided ) -> Look and Feel -> Skin -> Click Madnox to install skin and all of its dependencies.

I dont see the Kittmaster repo there

EDIT:

I see the Kittmaster repo now, but there is no way to install the skin from there

The timestamp could be region related. I plan to split the repo by build...if u are using omega.. it won't install.

[Simkin84]

Ok, that would explain it as im on Omega.

And.... I just realised i dont have any icons/flags anymore in the List view now on my TV Shows.

https://imgur.com/a/KIpjqcT

[kittmaster]

which list view? all were modified..

yeah....same here....unintended consequences

[Simkin84]

All of them. The Movie linked in tv shows has flags, but not the tv show.

The other views have flags, so its just LIST view which are affected.

[kittmaster]

Got it... see it here... will need to another conditional.

[kittmaster]

I got the fix for one, will apply to all, upload shortly
