Thanks for keeping this going MikeS!

Bug report:
Amber pulls an old version of script.skin.helper.colorpicker 2.0.1 that errors when you try and change colors
Old version of script uses "xbmc.translatePath" which was changed for Nexus+ to "xbmcvfs.translatePath" 
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/19301

Latest version of script.skin.helper.colorpicker 2.0.3 is fixed
https://github.com/kodi-community-addons...olorpicker

@Riot504, can you tell me how to update to 2.0.3 on an android device, since Amber pulls 2.0.1?

[NeuroDawg]

Well, after googling and fixing file permissions, I finally figured out how to install from github repository. I can confirm that 2.0.3 works with the current version of Kodi & Amber.

I dropped all support for the color picker script since it is basically abandoned and switched to using the custom one already in the skin.

Pre-release for testing v4.0.0.

4.0.0 installed smoothly, thanks a lot

Are we able to get a flag for DV titles? I have turned on the HDR/Bitrate option but that flags HDR. Or is there another setting that needs to be enabled??

[ixalthim]

Is anyone using this with Emby for Kodi (Next Gen)?  I love Amber, but for some reason the first time I enter a library (IE: Movies) after launching Kodi on my Shield it takes a long time to show.  Like probably 8-10 seconds.  After the first entry, then after that it is pretty fast (maybe 1 second).  

I don't have this issue on other skins, but I also don't know if it is something with my setup.

This has been happening for probably over a year, but it wasn't always this way.  For sure since Kodi 20.x versions.

Any help would be great!

Using the HDRType infolabel I added Dolby Vision and HDR 10 logos to the library vies and info screen.
If you don't see them then you likely need to rescan your library items to fill in the missing HDR info.
It has not yet been added to fullscreen info.

I use it, but dont have long loading times, (on sheild pro) . Are you using v10.x.x of the plug in? I was usuing v9.x.x (stable) and it would always take 5-6 seconds to shoew the welcome to emby notification. Since changing to v10 it is showing the same notification within a second of opening kodi.

I am on the 10.0.26 (the latest as of last night).  But it has been doing it long before I was on v9 or v10.  Thanks for letting me know.  I will look into my system.

If you mean the Textures.xbt file, you can download the zip from GitHub and replace that file with the contents of the media folder. Then delete the VignetteStage.png in the common folder.

Every update from Kodi repo will return those folder contents back to Textures.xbt file.

Got it working -  it flagged roughly 80% of the DV files correctly. All the non-flagged files had DV in their file name. Ended up using TinyMediaManager to re-write my library. After that all files were flagged correctly. Thanks @mikeSiLVO.
