Wow... just wow.

Easily the prettiest skin by far. I noticed a few bugs and I want to help but i'll post them here maybe someone already fixed them in the thread.

Music section

the album stays lowres even if you download an highres version. It's probably just a define type which isn't used since it's highres in the album information. So i'll look into it.

Global

where is the file located for the mainscreen widget? I just want to make some small modification on it which I might preset if it helps but it's mainly for my own taste.

I think the music thing sounds like a kodi issue rather than a skin issue... are you sure this doesnt happen in other skins? Also, what viewtype does it happen in so I can have a look into it.

The home widgets have bits in lots of different files - includes_home.xml, includes_defs.xml and includes.xml - its kind of complicated to explain, you will have to look at the code to follow how it goes.

It shouldn't happen in any views other than the EPG Timeline. Yes this is by design as otherwise there is no way to open the side menu. I personally don't think this is the best way it could be handled (I just think it should be like it was in frodo where you couldn't back scroll the epg and you would just go far left to open the menu). However, this isn't my decision and it is required for repo inclusion so I have to make it that way...

I noticed the change to the cast info in regards to being able to use the extendedinfo script onclick. Much more intuitive now. It seems that there is an empty slot at the top of all the cast lists now that doesn't do anything. Is this as intended, a necessary "invisible button"?

Either way, getting that info onclick is great.

It should be the director... Is it the thing that focuses first? Is it for all movies? And do those movies show the director in the normal info (before clicking cast?)

I was testing it while using the the top level of a tvshow. It makes sense for the script to not show the director there. It does show the director for individual episodes though. Any way around the blank entry in the top level of a show?

It shows the director while using the movie infoscreen.

Yeah it shouldn't be too difficult, I just forgot that tvshows/seasons dont have director info.

Jurial
Not sure if this is controlled by Kodi, the skin or a script/service but when setting default backgrounds for menu items is it possible to return to the exact file location of the selected image instead of the default location to start browsing from eg I have artwork saved in several folders and if I feel like changing the background for the home menu after selecting single or multi image it always starts from a the highest level file location and I have to browse several levels to select an image.

Happy to edit xml files myself if you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

@Kokonutcreme - its handled by skinshortcuts script. However ive discovered if you go to the file manager (the double pane one) and choose add source then that source will show up in the base folder when browsing for a background.

Good tip, thanks

Wow, this will be my new skin I guess, love it. Are you up for some constructive criticism?

The playcontrols and the overall OSD doesn't fit the light default theme and the overall look of the skin, any plans to adjust this?

Also the controls on the top are slightly irritating, I would expect them on the bottom since the the home menu and stuff where the main 'controlling' is happening is also on the bottom.

Is the PVR part fully done yet? I'm missing the menu to switch to the EPG guide, only got the window remapping a button on the remote. Nevermind, found the 'todo' in the first post.

Keep it up, highly appreciated!

Can you please add the artist fanart to the Music OSD? I don't like to use the Artist Slideshow add-on or the visualisation, one solid background fanart is sufficient for me.

hi jurial, question from my girlfriend. Is it possible/difficult to add a function that you can see the endtime of a movie based on the actual time, when i´m scrolling through the db?
For example, it is 8pm, i´m scrolling through my movies, the next movie runs 90 mins, that there is the endtime 9:30 pm, next movie 100 mins, so it would end 9:40pm and so on...

My girlfriend asked for this option, so she can see if it would be to late for her :-)
