I pay a subcrition on Trakt.tv.
But, To access my lists and see the content, I have to help myself with some addons that allow me to keep track of my contents.
I've been looking for an official kodi addon that allows me to do that.

Thank you

Could you add an option in settings for clearlogo over fanarth.

[jurialmunkey]

There is a lot of clean art that cropped on the right..
Maybe you can move it to the right?

Nope, there's strict 80px of side padding in this skin and all content must appear within those dimensions. Change the clearart you are using if you don't like ones with a hard right edge.

Just copy the relevant folders from "kodi/userdata/addon_data" (also, FYI if you use profiles, you might need to copy from a profile subfolder). That's where settings for all addons are stored. You will want to copy at least the "script.skinshortcuts" and "skin.arctic.horizon" folders

Are there any plans to introduce different EPG interface options? I'm looking for something more like this from back in Eminence, a bit more classic with the ability to continue watching while you browse. Currently, the best I have is this, which to me defeats the purpose of my PVR/PseudoTV setup which is that I don't actually want to just see a wall of text/data/visual-less content, I want to browse what's currently on and visually make a decision and settle on something. Lunatixz over on the PseudoTV thread said this was a skin solution. 

Skin Settings > Fullscreen Video > Display now playing video in background

That setting will show the currently playing video in the background. However, it is "behind" the background so won't be clear like in your screenshot.

If you want a clearer view to change channels while watching something, just press "C" on keyboard from the fullscreen view (the command to map to a remote is "ActivateWindow(PVROSDChannels)"). That will give you a more visible channel switcher:

The other thing is I'm not really a fan of seeing only two things per channel at a time, what's currently playing and what's next, is there a way to adjust that? I'd like to be able to plan ahead at a glance on what channel to watch, and would prefer the current progress bars be aligned.

You're using channel view. Use EPG view - "ActivateWindow(tvguide)". You can set a shortcut for this view in the home customisation dialog found in "skin settings > home"

I also noticed a bug where the next episode that is on doesn't show the episode title/season number/episode number. Here's an example of the now playing description and here's the next up.

Not possible. Kodi PVR doesn't provide that info for the next item in the channel view. As above, you're looking to use EPG view which will show all the info for all items.

Lastly, the on-screen info that pops up when you change a channel is a bit distracting and the text blends in with most posters. I know there's an option for "Simple On-Screen info" , but the interface is great for normal movies, just not when watching things via PVR, and this option changes both. Is this a bug that will be fixed?

The overlap with the poster is definitely a bug and not intended.

Anyway, Kodi has a setting to disabling showing info when switching channel which will solve your issue

I can't run Arctic Mirage, any idea?

And can you also make this library info in setting under the storage maybe? or summary..

Nope not possible. Kodi doesn't provide additional ratings outside of the info dialog.
