Found another small issue.

In the addons menu you can press the right arrow and disable automatic updates. Normally, in this menu you can also specifiy if you want to receive available update notifications.This is not shown. I had to go back to Confluence to disable the option.

Hi All, this might be a stupid question but I've got different media flags than those in the screen shots of the latest version. I've just done a fresh install on a windows pc, is it just the colours that have been changed in the screenshots?

@Habitual_Sinner

You have the option of 2 choices of media flags. Standard is the white media flags, and then the coloured media flags. Coloured media flags have to be enabled in SkinSettings under the Furniture section.

Hope this helps.

I tried installing 3.2.11 from the repo but got the stuck at 18% issue and installing directly from zip also fails. I've tried unzipping and copying the directory to the addons folder and it seems to work but then I get a permissions error when it's building shortcuts and then a popup saying it can't write the menu. Any ideas how to get this installed?

Thanks much

UPDATE: Running Kodi as administrator works to solve this issue... Changing file permissions didn't though.

Is it necessary for this skin to run Kodi as admin always?

I'm going to have to make two posts: one to address yours and one to address everyone else. The reason is rather simple based on your logs: Kodi is attempting to install From Ashes into "C:\Program Files (x86)" rather than "%AppData%\Kodi\addons." It's rather early and I'm still tired from my flight a night or so ago but if I'm not mistaken, there's a Kodi configuration setting which controls where addons are installed to.

However, this is a permissions issue; you can't write "C:\Program Files (x86)" without running Kodi as an Administrator which is not required by From Ashes.

I know the setting is somewhere; I just don't remember where because Kodi prompted me on first run a long time ago (Isengard) as to where to save the addons I installed. It might be the profile settings or another setting.

Once that's fixed, you will be fine. Otherwise it'll keep wanting admin permissions to install/update which should not be the case and is strongly discouraged.

Arctic Zephyr 3.2.11 installs using repository.beta on my Nvidia shield TV without any issues.

Unfortunately when I install Krypton using the same method. repository beta installs Arctic Zephyr 4.0.01 but nothing happens when I enabled Arctic Zephyr.

UPDATE: I have the same issues when I install Arctic Zephyr 4.0.01 on my iMac

Hello,

I have the same Problem with flickering and there is another thing. The discarts under the movie sets are not longer shown in this version.. Sorry for that bad English...

I, too, am running OSMC on a rPI2 and love this script - but get consistent crashes on reboot. One thing I noticed is that the Skin Helper Service is on .12 on the emby repository but only on .10 on the kodi repository. When I install .12, I get a skin helper service errors on boot (and the crashing with this skin is not fixed )

[leviathansmiles]

Neither 3.2.10 or 11 shows the refresh button in the tvshow/movie information, anyone know reason?

I'm getting the same problem. I thought it was just the setup with this skin as I haven't used any previous versions.

Anyone figured out a way to fix or do I simply wait for an update?

Okay, since I wasn't sure whether you were referring to the the actual video information screen or the library updater I decided to screenshot both. So, for whichever you are referring to (I believe it's the first image), you're telling me you don't see that third button?

(Please ignore non-loading cast images; Emby Server which handles metadata on my system wasn't running when I took these screenshots)

For Pi Owners: Would someone be so kind to post a normal boot log (i.e. use Confluence or another skin that won't cause a kernel panic) and a crash boot log (i.e. use AZ:FA). This isn't the Kodi log but rather the system's own log file. With this information, perhaps we can find out why AZ:FA is causing a kernel panic on the Raspberry Pi devices yet works fine on every other Linux based platform.

[leviathansmiles]

@Guardian Hope - That's right. I've attached a photo of what I see in the movie information.



This is how the movie info page displays on two separate, clean installs of Kodi/Arctic Zephyr on two different macs.

I'ma also having a situation where runtime is not displaying in the info page on most (all) movies and TV shows.

[lusephur]

Any clues as to why version 4.0.0.1 when downloaded and installed from the Emby Beta repository on the latest nightly libreelec (but most likely also on the latest git of Krypton) will not load when selected in the appearance menu? the device simply blinks and reloads the existing skin.

[fabrizio5680]

@Guardian Hope - So I cannot see the refresh button on the top level TV show info screen nor the Season info screen but can confirm that it's displaying on the Episode screen (Would prefer on top level TV, at the moment trying to correct house of cards UK to US version for entire show).

Can confirm that like @leviathansmiles mentioned, there is no refresh button on movie titles.

Okay, that is indeed an odd bug as I can see it in both screens. I will investigate it further to see why it disappeared for no good reason.

As for runtime, the skin requires "Script.Duration" which you should naturally have if you installed from any source (it's outlined in post #1) as the skin will not install without it. Given that you didn't say you ran into installation issues I'm going on the premise that you do.

Have you tried reloading the skin? There's an option to do that within the Kodi settings. Also, could you provide a debug level log file up to the point you reach the screen with the missing button?

Indeed I do. The release for Krypton is actually missing a number of changes which need to be made. No testing was done on the Krypton release as it's highly experimental and skins do not translate easily from Jarvis to Krypton. I figured it would at least give you some functionality but apparently not. The next release for Krypton will be more fleshed out and slightly delayed from the next Jarvis release as the required changes are made.

I don't think the "refresh button" was ever exposed above the episode or movie title screen as the skin was designed for Emby Server which is far more than capable of updating that metadata in a hop, skip, and a jump with a single edit. AZ:E was virtually built for Emby and AZ:FA is the successor. Neither skin every took into account that someone may be using some other metadata manager so only "Update Library" was exposed and it's exposed to the two other screens.

I can see about correcting that but shouldn't, and correct me if I am wrong, "Update Library" force a rescan of the entire library and update the metadata to whatever changes you made to it using whatever metadata management you use?

[leviathansmiles]

@Guardian Hope - I just noticed, somewhat weirdly, that the refresh button is present when I go to the info screen for individual episodes of TV shows. It doesn't display for movies though.
