@woodside Hey!
Apologies for the late reply! Hope you've been enjoying the holidays! I missed your message on the forum before I went on a break, so I'm really sorry about that!

I just answered you on GitHub (it's easier to link code and better markdown): https://github.com/jurialmunkey/plugin.v...2566265225

Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

Thanks. I tried but couldn't get it to work right. I just went ahead and installed an older version of tmdb helper and edited the addon.xml file to bump up the version number so it would quit asking me to update. Eventually I will probably run into problems but it works as of now. Thanks again.

@woodside Hi!
Here's a download link to the OG AF skin with the bug fixes (the link expires in 7 days). I have tested it and it works fine with the latest TMDb Helper. You may need to restart Kodi after installation for the new baseitems.json file to take effect (sometimes a skin reload is not enough). You'll have to install this with the 'Install from zip' option and will overwrite your AF version (so make sure to have a backup zip of your current version since AF isn't available on jurial's repo anymore).

Let me know if this works.

To transfer your AF / AF Mod setup (or any other jurial skin), follow these steps:

1. Transferring your widgets
Kodi > userdata > addon_data > script.skinvariables > nodes > skin.arctic.fuse

Copy that entire folder to your new device (and make sure to maintain the folder structure/naming). Since AF and AF Mod use the same SV files for widgets, the contents of this folder act as the common backbone for both the skins (hence widgets from one skin carry over to the other).

2. Transferring settings (like appearance, autoscroll interval, ratings, etc.)
Kodi > userdata > addon_data > skin.arctic.fuse.mod (OR skin.arctic.fuse)

Copy the settings.xml file to your new device.

And that should be it! Feel free to reach out if you have any other queries!

Thank you!

Is it possible to have a brief explanation of what the changes are when a new version is released?

Yes, you can find the changelog for the current version under Skin Settings > Changelog


I am thinking of adding a way to view all previous changelog history in the next update, but we will see how it goes haha.

Hey thanks. I really appreciate this. I was trying to set it up again on the other device and was struggling at remembering all the settings and couldn't quite get the same menu structure I had set on the original device. This will help immensely.

Hey there. I installed from the OG arctic fuse file you linked and updated TMDB Helper and it worked great. Thanks.

One thing though is that if you go into the addons hub and press the context menu on an addon the icon is missing. It shows the fanart of the addon but where the icon for the addon is supposed to be it is blank. It works great now if you press the context menu on a TV or movie widget item. All the artwork shows as expected. Just not on addons. Do you know of a quick fix for that? Thanks

Sorry about that! Yeah it's a pretty simple fix that I missed before sending the zip haha.

In the Includes_DialogContextMenu.xml file, you'll need to change 2 lines -- line 83 and line 88 

You'll notice both these params are set to "true". These need to be altered for the skin to switch between poster and icon depending on the selected content type (movies & tv shows vs add-ons)

Change those to the following:

line 83

Code:

<param name="poster_visible">[!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(poster)) | !String.IsEmpty(Container(99950).ListItem.Property(base_poster))]</param>

line 88

Code:

<param name="landscape_visible">[!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(fanart)) | !String.IsEmpty(Container(99950).ListItem.Property(base_fanart))]</param>

Let me know if that fixes the issue! And feel free to reach out anytime if you have any more questions/suggestions for the mod!

Thank you!

I hope you had an excellent Christmas & New Years 😀 

I was wondering if there’s an icon option that displays video information, including frame rate, similar to the feature found in Horizon 2.  
Horizon 2

Horizon 2

Thank you! I hope you had a great holiday season too!

Yes, this also exists on AF / AF Mod. You need to hover over the video icon and you'll see all the details.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I know about the video icon. Would it be possible to have an option for icons like Horizon 2?
All the info is there without the extra steps.


Arctic Horizon MOD not displaying frame rate like Horizon 2

Sorry for the late reply! If you notice my screenshot, you'll see that all the details are visible (framerate, audio channels, codec, etc.). 

I think you have set your codec style to 'Text'. You can find the setting under Skin Settings > Interface > Codecs.
I have mine set to 'Monochrome'. 

So set it to either 'Monochrome' or 'Color' (don't set it to 'Text' or 'Basic')  and you should be able to see all the info.

P.S. The playback speed display is different because I have "Sync Playback to Display" enabled (and my player/hardware supports Player.TempoEnabled while some might not). Hence my image shows 1, 1.1, 1.2, etc. while your shows 1x. 2x, 3x. etc. Both conditions need to be true to have the tempo control visible.
I assume you're using Audio Passthrough on your system so you cannot use this setting simultaneously. Just an FYI haha.

Thank you!

Hello, it is impressive how the skin is turning out, it is a fantastic job. I wanted to make a small suggestion in case you wanted to carry it out. One of the few things that I observe in the behavior of the skin and I find it uncomfortable when browsing is that having the automatic trailers activated (which I think is great how they play, I love them) is that it is positioned in the categories or in the submenus. The spotlight trailer is activated and I think that the most convenient thing is that the spotlight trailer is activated when we are in the spotlight area but not if we are already positioned in categories and submenus, I understand that no trailer should jump to unless I went down to some widget and waited for the trailer's configured time. Thank you so much

[Carfer]

One question, could the trailers be configured to be able to choose the imdb trailers addon if we wanted?

[Officer KD6-3.7]

Hi! @Carfer

Hope you’ve been doing well! Nice to see you again on the forum!

1. That’s a nice suggestion! I can see the benefit in that and will try to fix it in the next update.

2. I’m not familiar with that add-on but I’ll check it out. I know Nimbus (another amazing skin) offers MDbList as an option for trailers, so different sources for trailers (especially those that are more accurate than YouTube) could be something worthwhile to look into.

Thanks!
