It IS possible to have the live widgets for (preferred addon) in CCM Helix.

What you need to do is add your Main Menu item as a Video Node: Skin Settings > Home Menu > Menu Item > Videos Menu > Video-Nodes

Then Video Addons > (preferred addon) > Movies > Latest HD Movies (or another choice) > Enter Label (this is the Main Menu Label)

Now for the Main Menu item you will be able to choose a Widget called "Video Node".

This Widget will now display whatever you chose before, eg Latest HD Movies.

Thanks JMH2002 for figuring this out and posting it for the community!

Mudislander, Thanks for all the great work you have done!

I'm running Kodi 14.2 with CCM installed on windows 7

YEAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! It works!! Thank you flhthemi, Thanks jmh2002! This is the best skin ever!

I had installed CCM from Mudislander's Github but didn't do the Hybrid Repo. I added the repo and bang CCM updated and now it works. This makes me so happy :-)

Muchas Gracias

The list only shows 10 movies. How do I increase to 25 or be able to scroll to more movies.

Yippie! Whoop Whoop!

Isn't it cool to be able to use that feature! I love it!
CCM for Helix is the most configurable skin I have used as yet! To me, this makes it the best and if I haven't said it lately THANKS MUDISLANDER! (now get back to work, slacker...)

[jmh2002]

Yes as I have said many times before the skin is just about perfect especially when considering across the board functionality on multiple different devices, some of which may not be capable of running some of the other fully custom skins.

BUT, I would really appreciate it if Mudislander could jump in and add back:

- the Volume and Home buttons on the fullscreen osd
- the Volume buttons on the homescreen status bar when media is playing
- the Volume buttons in other screens when media is playing
- 'larger jumps' in settings for these Volume buttons
(if screenshots are needed from CCM Gotham I can provide them)

plus:
- a Favourites widget
- disable the menu at upper left (eg: videos - titles) and always show weather here (if selected)
- disabling the Episode Thumbnails setting doesn't seem to work for the video node widgets (it still shows Episode Thumbnails) ?
- if the Enable Large Home Widgets setting is used, the video node widget for TV Shows doesn't use the correct aspect ratio (the image is a Landscape Episode Thumbnail half showing in a Portrait box).
- if its not possible to fix this for the Large Widget, maybe change the this widget to show the TV Poster instead, which will fit correctly in the Portrait box?

But for use on my touchscreen devices it's mainly the Volume controls that I'm REALLY missing in the first instance.

I think that's most of the main things that are missing compared to the previous CCM for Gotham.

THANKS! Mudislander

Hi all,
I need some help.

I'm trying to get a playlist that I've attached to the TV Shows submenu to autoplay when I click on it. I remember being able to do it in the past but for some reason it doesn't work, It just brings me to the playlist listing. Any help is appreciated.

FireTV
Kodi 14.2
CCM Helix 3.0.15

Thanks,

Hi! @Mudislander

CCM Helix 3.0.15 is not working with Kodi 15.1 any fix bro ??

[flhthemi]

Works on my install of Isengard...

How/where did you get CCM for Helix as this can be a problem if you didn't get it from the repo posted in the 1st message of this thread.

[derwildemann]

thanks for the backup, K405.... I hope it was heard....
I would do it mysekf but as I said... I'm not even a Linux layman and have no idea where to start with, no knowledge of the structure and how the xml are interlinked...
thanks bro...

Hi Mudislander,

Thanks for the great skin! And thanks to all who contributed as well.
I'm a long time HTPC/MediaPortal user but I have jumped ship now that Raspi2/KODI/TVH/Synology/HDHomerun has become the killer combo for me.
(But I have to admit I'm still a bit heart broken to say goodbye to the beauty of the StreamedMP skin and it's Anime3 plugin.)

Anyway.. I really like derwildemann's lay out suggestion:

[hyp0xia]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Trying to figure out if it's a skin specific issue or Kodi itself.

When the first addon is started after Kodi is launched, the Vew Options fly-out menu will auto open and is a bit of a pain to close.

It doesnt matter which addon is started, this only happens the first time an addon is started after Kodi launched. Once you close the fly-out, it won't open again unless you click on the tab on the left side of the screen.

Really not sure why it auto-opens like this. Any thoughts??

Running 14.2 on Android

[flhthemi]

Which version of CCM Helix...AFAIK 3.0.15 is the latest. I don't see this happen on any of the Android devices I have. Asus tablet, Ugoos UT2, Tronsmart T428, Samsung Tab S 10.5...What Android device are you using it on? Are you using a mouse or keyboard or remote control with Kodi?

Hey all,

I''m wondering if anyone experiences these things bc it started when I switched from the default skin to ccm.

1. Booting up - I sometimes have to load Kodi 3-4 times in order to get in. What happens is Kodi attempts to load (logo appears) and then it kicks me back to the Android menu. It does this with 14.1 and 14.2. Sometimes it boots first attempt but most of the time I have to load the Kodi icon several times to even get in.
2. When I click Movies, Music, etc...the options menu auto pops up on the left hand side at random times, no idea why this happens.

What size images is everyone using for the background? I have 1920x1080 and they look pixelized. Wondering what others are using.

Thanks!
