At least one viewtype needs to be enabled in the skin, and List is the default view type, so I have removed the capability to disable it.

Please confirm. If that is the case, then there is another issue in your system, because once you set a view for a type of content, Kodi remembers that view and you do not have to set it again.

You can "lock" a specific view for an addon, using the new media views selector. You will need to have the addon script.skinvariables, version 0.2.4 or higher. You can get this addon from jurialmunkey's repo: https://github.com/jurialmunkey/reposito...ey-2.0.zip Once you have that installed and enabled, activate the following setting in Amber:
And then click on "Configure Media Views":
In the following dialog, go all the way to the end and select "Add Plugin View":
Then find your addon and select it. For the purposes of the example, I am selecting YouTube:
Now you will select which type of content for the addon you want to always have which view. Since it seems your addon is not setting the content type correctly, my recommendation is that you select videos, none, files, movies and episodes for your addon to have the view type Tall List. I think that way you will be covering all the bases. In the following screenshots, I will choose that for Videos from YouTube, I want to have the view type Tall List:
So, select Videos:
And then select the view type you want (in this case, Tall List):
I also went ahead and added that for YouTube, content None, to also have Tall List. So now, when I go to YouTube (every single time, even after Kodi restarts), I get this:
And this:
As you can see, even the list of options for YouTube shows up in Tall List, since I set that view for content type None for YouTube.
I think this will allow you to have Tall List for your addon all the time, without having to change it every time. Please test, and let me know how it goes. Thanks.

hi , thanks a lot , as always so kind of u, for this advice. i tested it. it works only in one addon. i have quite a few different video addons and it would take a lot of time to adjust it them the way u showed me. there is also a disadvantage - this has influence on other addons which dont work in my previous system . so i came back to my last way. as i earlier said -the best option is- we have chosen our favorite display type , and if there is no default type , like this list always - then it would be no problem coz skin/kodi recognizes two types- this permanent list and other one chosen by us/me - and thats why , as i think, it works a bit messy ...u said -'' At least one view type needs to be enabled in the skin, and List is the default view type'' ...this one display type can be this one which we have chosen, right? why must exist this default type? why in this case must be this list a default type not that one we wish, as my favorite - tall list? regards slawomir
