Sorry for this stupid question but is it possible to change the home background (editing the xml maybe) as it is on the settings background (dark blue), since the skin update to 3.6.6 i've got a grey overlay that's different from the sub-menus.

There was never a dark blue and no overlay O_o
Screenshot?

Please provide a debug log. It seems that a color or background image could not be loaded. I cannot reproduce it, sorry.

You also can try a fresh skin/kodi installation. Maybe your skin folder is just messed up.

There was no error on the log, so i decided to reinstall kodi, and ... the problem was the color settings on kodi were on limited range (don't know how the got selected).

Sorry for wasting your time.

Thank you for the help.

No problem, glad to hear it's solved.

sualfred,

I've been using this skin mod since you released it and I absolutely love it. I noticed that you recently moved over to Emby as your database manager while keeping Kodi as the main player. That's great, and it's exactly how I use it!

One request: Emby saves thumbnails of each chapter in a video and I'd like for those to be viewable within Kodi. Currently, when watching a video with your skin if you move up to the "Bookmarks" option you can see all the chapters marked correctly and even navigate to them...the only problem is that the thumbnails are not displayed. Not sure if this is an easy fix or not but it'd be nice to have a visual of where you're skipping to.

Bonus request: Would you be able to rename the "Bookmarks" link to "Chapters" instead? I feel like it goes better but this is totally up to you and not a dealbreaker for me at all.

@fonzie
I never investigated how the the chapter images are stored, but I don't think that it's possible to sync them. I assume they are only cached and not stored in the video database. The Emby sync addon only gathers the Emby database information and writes the entries to the Kodi DB. Even if it's possible -> that's something you have to request for the addon itself (https://emby.media/community/index.php?/forum/99-kodi/)

And renaming to chapters is not a good idea, because the window is used for chapters and bookmarks (users can create their own entry points for a video).

Thanks for getting back to me Sualfred. I left a post on the emby boards and I hope they are able to incorporate it into their Kodi addon.

As for the Chapter renaming part, I figured that was a long shot and there was a valid reason why it was named bookmarks. No big deal, your mod is still the best out there. Keep up the great work. Still much appreciated.

Just a couple of smalls things

Video is 4k

but doesn't show like it does with 1080p when browsing

Same on the video overview screen
4k

1080

And the media info
There is no "4Kp"

Also how does the Similar Titles work on the video overview, all i ever get is "Sorry, we have no items for this title."

@komplex

Thx, fixed the issues on GitHub.

The Similar Title feature is provided by the SkinHelper addons. Be sure you have the latest GitHub versions installed.

I have Marcels repo installed so i use the latest from there, i just get everytime on movies and tv shows

**sualfred** · (This post was last modified: 2017-04-13, 22:38 by sualfred.)

It's working on all of my devices.
Better you check your logs and ask Marcel directly in his thread. All I can do is to call the script in that window.

Edit:
Another reason could be, that the movie has no IMDB number stored in it's database row. This value is required. So it could be a scraping issue.

Hi got my movie widget set up fine but when I select my tv shows from video library I get nothing to show for this widget but the shows are definitely in the library. Any suggestions?

I done a lil testing this morning it seems to be how PlexKodiConnect adds items to the db that causes it
