I know I brought it up before, but it still bothers me. The runtime is missing on every item on the home screen, at least on my rPi2 openELEC. The windows one has it with some exceptions.





And a missing rating, probably a corner case



Are these also from service.library.data.provider?

Hey jurial,
The trailers in (in cinema) are all in english. Any chance to change this over kodi language option?

[colbert]

Just checking, but I went through all the views and (talking Movies section here) Media info with Extra Info checked seems to be the only way to see runtime, any possibility to add that to other views? I don't know about others but runtime is a much more useful bit of info than say, rating. Thanks for your help !

also would love a option when you hit play it would bring up a very similar window to the one when you push (i) on the keyboard but with just the options play, cast, trailer and nothing else that would be excellent

If kiosk mode is enabled and the default kodi play action is set to show info this is exactly what already happens

well not really, it does do similar to what I suggested but there is no discart and extrathumbs and no trailers plus the play would be better at the top and then cast, I know what you mean but this is why I suggested what I did as its just about there apart from trailers and the discart and extrathumbs

what is cinema experience ? by the way

Personally I prefer the term AC3 to Dolby Digital. Both are correct IMHO. Also I think TrueHD is OK without adding "Dolby" before it. Space is sometimes at a premium.

These labels are set by kodi. I could match with a variable but I think its a bit of a waste of time to be honest. The only use case for codec info that I'm aware of is passthrough audio to a receiver as some receivers dont support all codec types or have specialised settings for certain codec types (e.g. Dolby vs DTS) - so I don't think its that big of a deal as you can still tell what codec it is and different regions are going to have their own variants of some anyway.

Great skin! Any chance of adding a banner view for TV shows,

Possibly in the future but I dont have time currently for new features.

I know you have a ton going on in and out of the skinning world, but I'm wondering I can make a feature request for the Home screen Spotlight. I know there are some default, canned Spotlight widgets you have already implemented with this skin, but I'm wondering if you can add one to cycle through random movies AND random episodes in a single Spotlight widget? Right now it's currently one or another. I think it would be nice to see a Spotlight of both of these libraries at the same time, randomly.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, what is wrong with adding the path for the combined widget as a custom widget path then adding the custom widget to the menu item? (Customise > Select Widget > Custom 1)

Yep library data provider. Its strange how I never seem to have problems with it but heaps of others do

Controlled by extended info script.
Settings > Addons > Enabled Addons > Helper Addons > Extended Info > Configure > Language for the MovieDB requests

Should be way more views than that: List, Wide, Big Wide, Cards, Extra Info, Media Info
The only ones that dont are Icons, Big Icons, Thumbs, and Big List

Though I do have a change coming to the flags (on git) that will show duration instead of video codec for those views that don't have a duration in the list.

An addon that shows trailers and things like that before playing the movie to give a feeling of being at the cinema.

1) The video addon "dokumonster.de" (german documentaries) allows only the views "Big wide" and "Preview" for the video list. Probably an issue of the addon and not your skin. Do you see any easy fix?

2) Any chance to add an option to move the small "Loading..." spinner to the right corner without the text? I think it would be more smooth than the text and dark background with every new page.
Or someone has any other nice idea for a small loading indicator.

Yep library data provider. Its strange how I never seem to have problems with it but heaps of others do

I'm not sure why. Which systems are you using? MySQL Backends? (All data helps)
Could be service.library.data.provider or any scrapper filling the database.
I'll try to look into it later today.

1. what views are available depends on what content type the addon sets -- no content only get big list and thumbnails. If it sets as episodes then you get all views that have landscape artwork. If it sets as movies then you get all views.

2. This is a case of damned if you, damned if you dont. In eminence I had a small spinner in the corner and I get complaints that its not obvious enough and should be centered on the screen. In this skin people complain about it being the other way around! I think having an option for this is excessive - this is something that will have to be left up to user mods.

OpenELEC on the htpc, Fedora on the laptop. OpenELEC machine has local files on usb drives, standard local library database and uses Universal Movie scraper (though no problems when I was using default moviedb scraper either - just switched for imdb top250 stuff). Laptop has local database with content via samba.

Nothing fancy, no shared databases or NAS storage or anything like that.

Thanks for the reply.

In a previous post, you suggested using the code:

Code:

plugin://service.library.data.provider?type=randommovies+randomepisodes&reload=$INFO[Window.Property(randommovies)]$INFO[Window.Property(randomepisodes)]

I created "Custom 1" using this suggested code within Settings > Skin Settings > Widgets, but I don't see where/how to implement this to the "Home" screen Spotlight. I figured out that I can implement this to Home screen menu items (i.e. "Movies", "TV Shows", etc), but I haven't figured out how to do this for the overall Home screen Spotlight specifically.

Maybe I'm missing something....

Thanks for your continued help.

Any way to have weather has the widget on main menu? I have no widgets on any item (Movies, TV, etc.) so I'm in skin settings > customise main > Widgets, could I put something in Custom widget 1 and have weather just stay on the main menu then as the widget? I don't find the default widget scrolling through movies to be useful for me so just checking, thanks !

Are you saying that you want it in the selector at the top of the screen? I dont see much point to that because you can just change between them there anyway?

There are a couple of different options. If you set the slideshow path then the default widget wont show. Then you can select show weather widget from home options. Alternatively you can set individual backgrounds/slideshows for each menu item individually. The last option is if you set weather fanart in skinsettings > backgrounds then set each individual menu item widget to weather in the home customisation screen. Each eay acheives a slightly different result in terms of what is displayed as the background.

Hi,

Is TVheadend PVR backend supported on this skin? I'm looking to buy a MOI+ PVR box that runs it, but want to ensure I'll be able to use the PVR fully. (set timers etc.)

Thanks

[jurialmunkey]

Yep I use tvheadend on openelec

I think 1100 deals with it? (Via a response to my response to you).
