Hello! Thanks for the quick reply!

1. I dowloaded them myself, as I didn't find a updated list of the french TV channels. I will photoshop them to make rounds and adjust them inside
2. I could test for you if you need a tester !
3. Ouch, when is planned Kodi Leia to be released? 
4. I know that selecting dynamicly the color would require an addon, but what if it was possible to enter directly the hexa code ? The only available colors are red-blue-green, but I thought about white or grey (but that would need to invert the font color) or maybe coal grey. 

Have a nice day

No problem :-)

1: The logos are scaled, so providing they're square at the very least, they should render OK.
2 + 3: Kodi Leia is currently in Alpha. I'm guessing it will be out sometime in the next few months.
4: You can change the colours for the skin directly by editing a text file if you want to try stuff out. It's skin.pellucid/colors/defaults.xml. Note: the format for colour is aRGB. You'll need to reload the skin to see the effect - there's an option for that in the skin settings. 

Have fun!

[Lyechee]

Thank you Sir!
Looks awesome in orange! Color picked with photoshop on the background picture.


I have an additional request, would it be possible to replace the dB display of the sound with a percentage?

Have a nice weekend!

Edit: I may have to report a bug on my side. When I play a song without any visualisation (disabled), I think the fanart should display behind the progression bar, or I only get a black display. I must add that with Grid, the fanart actually displays.

[thedeadman]

That's great! Would you mind letting me know the color value? I'll add it as an optional colour theme.

Unfortunately there is no way to show volume as a percentage that I know of. You can't do calculations in the skinning engine, so you'll need to raise a feature request with one of the Kodi development team. Ronie might be a good person to ask.

RE: fanart.. It should show the fanart if the visualisation is disabled, and the code looks right. Not sure what's going on there... Do you have the artist slideshow plugin installed? If so, try disabling it and see if that helps.

[Lyechee]

Hello!
Here is the color value : aace5621 !

I'm pretty sure it should already be possible in some way as both Grid and Xperience1080 allow the percentage display?

You were right, once I disabled the Artist slideshow the black screen was gone. The thing is that now I have a weird effect of fading on my artist picture. The picture fades in then out in loop.

[thedeadman]

Hi Lyechee,

Thanks - I agree that colour works well. 

RE: Percentage. OK, having checked into Grid, I can see what needs to be done. Passthrough audio is something i've never used, so that's an oversight on my part - sorry! I'll include it for the Kodi 18 version.
RE: Image fade. It may be the case that something has broken on that screen somewhere down the line. You can at least disable the fade in the skin settings (general->low CPU power mode). Again, i'll get that fixed for Kodi 18. 

Cheers!

Hi, is this skin not addon friendly ?
I modified an addon to list as library view and i manage to bypass the force list view addons using pellucid. see image below. But i cant get the image to appear. it works fine on confluence. 
any suggestions ?
 

I use kodi 17.6 

i understand authors comment: "I won't be adding user selectable views, but may revise the tv show section in future. In my experience, Video addons are just too unpredictable to move beyond a simple list view."

But addons that is written by kodi standard will work fine. i think its unfair to punish legal addons that is written by kodi standard, just cause some stupid addons dont follow the propper guidelines. 
It looks dull if we are limited to list view  

Any help is appreciated.

[thedeadman]

Hi Nero12,

I'm not addon unfriendly at all, but until there exists a commonly accepted standard for addon development, I won't be supporting them in Pellucid. Legal or not, addons are the wild west as far as code goes. As you and many others have noted, other skins are more flexible. However, the potential for the UI to fail entirely on account of a crappy addon is too high a risk for me to accept. 

I don't know the addon in question, but the images should be accessible via $INFO[ListItem.Art(poster)]. Failing that, try $INFO[ListItem.Art(thumb)].

Sorry I can't support you any further on this.

[nero12]

Thanks for your respond.
I respect the authors decision and hopefully 1 day you will support multiview for addons. 

To be honest its the best skin that fits my exact needs, my kids can use and wife approved. 
it has everything i need.  i hope one day there will be more support for addons. 
the information you provided is very useful, and can possible solve my issue on a temp basis.

[nero12]

seems like the issue is caused my a compatibility problem between xbmcswift and this skin
and i use latest version of xbmcswift

[thedeadman]

OK. I've not used xbmcswift and don't make addons, but here's a little extra info you might find useful:

- Addon based content is generally presented as a list in Pellucid as you've seen. This is the catch all default. 

However...

If the addon content is set up such that it returns a container.content type of "movies" or "tvshows", the skin will show that content in a poster view. The better addons out there show lists when browsing categories and posters when choosing content.

The relevant skin file is https://github.com/chrisbevan/skin.pellu...osters.xml . That will tell you what infolabels are expected.

Hope that helps!

python:


items = [{

                                 'label': re.sub('\([ 0-9]*?\)', '', video['title']),

                                 'thumbnail': video['cover'].replace(' ', '%20'),

                                 'cover': video['cover'].replace(' ', '%20'),

                                 'fanart': video['cover'].replace(' ', '%20'),

                                 'thumb': video['cover'].replace(' ', '%20'),

                                 'poster': video['cover'].replace(' ', '%20'),

                                 'info': {

                                         'originaltitle': video['title'],

                                         'tagline': video['collection'],

                                         'plot': video['plot'],

                                         'year': int(video['year']),

                                         'cast': video['cast'].replace(', ', ',').split(','),

                                         'director': video['director'],

                                         'rating': float(video['rating']),

                                         'votes': video['votes'],

                                         'genre': scraper.__resolve_categories(video['categories'])

                                 },

                                 'id': video['id'],

                         } for video in items]

This is the code we're using and the posters still don't show up

[nero12]

Okay we managed. to modify the skin and make it work nicely. 

I have another question: when i edit home menu and add new shortcuts. 
Where does this get saved ? which file ? 
i cant find my edits anywhere in userdata folder

[thedeadman]

Hi Nero12,

Please note that I am a skinner, not an addon developer! The menu system is controlled by the skin.shortcuts addon: https://github.com/BigNoid/script.skinshortcuts. Please direct any questions about it to its creator. 

What I can tell you is that Pellucid ships with defaults for the menus that are stored in the /shortcuts directory. These files build the menus when the skin is run for the first time. From then on, the menu data is stored in 1080i/script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml.

[atomizasser]

Thanks for great skin.

I have a question. If possible when press back in movie list section go directly back to home screen without go to left side menu?

Thanks.
