This is not an exaggeration if that .. And it is not written specifically to suck up)) I really really liked this new feature in Arctic: 2 You made it beautifully!) A big difference compared to just ordinary colors.  Visually perceived in a different way in a good way!) Thank you very much

Thanks for kind words!
I'm close to have done things I did today. Maybe tomorrow I will have a look on extra fanarts

[jokero009]

On the contrary, thank you very much!) Do you keep working on the new feature gradient today?) Sorry, I just noticed from the changes in Github

Yes. Have to fix some issues.

Here is a screenshot of how a PVR-OSD could look like:
https://imgur.com/a/M3wQSqg
- clock, actual time (21:00)
actual program:
- runtime left (+49 min)
- start and endtime (21:00 - 21:50)
- Episodename (Season and Ep-# also, if available)
- start and endtime of next program (21:00 - 21:50)
There is a problem with the progressbar. It should be in highlight-color, but I couldn't manage to do it
If you need sample code, pls let me know.
up should open "info", down should go to to the "channel-switcher"

Ok, I manage to do something ^^ 
This is how it looks like in current state: https://imgur.com/a/uYc4EWv
I will push it as soon as you will approve it^^ There is some spots to improve but it should be ready later

Looks very good!
Here is the sample code for the remaining time:

xml:
<variable name="PVRTimeRemainingMMVar">

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),09)">9m</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),08)">8m</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),07)">7m</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),06)">6m</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),05)">5m</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),04)">4m</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),03)">3m</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),02)">2m</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),01)">1m</value>

    </variable>

    

    <variable name="PVRTimeRemainingVar">

        <value condition="Integer.IsGreater(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(h),0) + Integer.IsGreater(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),9)">$INFO[PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(h),,h]$INFO[PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),,m]</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsGreater(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(h),0) + Integer.IsLessOrEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),9)">$INFO[PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(h),,h]$VAR[PVRTimeRemainingMMVar]</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsLessOrEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(h),0) + Integer.IsGreater(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),9)">$INFO[PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),,m]</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsLessOrEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(h),0) + Integer.IsLessOrEqual(PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(mm),9)">$VAR[PVRTimeRemainingMMVar]</value>

        <value>$INFO[PVR.EpgEventRemainingTime(ss)]s</value>

    </variable>

I'm running CoreELEC too, but if I press up or down after "OK", then channel switcher opens.
I can't open "info" on up or down, also not, if I press it 2 times.

and here is some code for the second textline:

xml:
<control type="label">

                    <visible>!String.IsEmpty(VideoPlayer.EpisodeName)</visible>

                    ...

                    <label>$INFO[VideoPlayer.Season,s]$INFO[VideoPlayer.Episode,e, - ]$INFO[VideoPlayer.Episodename]</label>

                </control>

                

                <!-- Time Information -->

                <control type="label">

                    ...

                    <label>+$VAR[PVRTimeRemainingVar]</label>

                </control>

Hey! Just implemented your ideas!
Will be available for about 2 hours from now
Also, if episodes are empty there will be genre showing. This should fill empty space and looks better Hope you will like it too

[jokero009]

I noticed you added embuary helper Thanks a lot!)

TY for keeping this skin alive and for the active development on it. Superb work. Looks and functions great. If possible I'd like an option to hide text labels on poster (Wall) and other views. I find it redundant and distracting since the posters have the show/movie logo. Thanks for considering this request.

While it will work with movies/tv shows with clearlogo, then it won't work with movies/tv shows without clearlogo and then we will be stick with no title/clearlogo. I must consider this and think what is best way to implement this.
I can't promise anything

What about just for the wall view then since it shows actual posters and not landscape with clearlogos? I feel it should still be up to the user to decide if text labels are shown. Several other skins have this option implemented. I may also know what the show is without logos and like it that way? Please consider.

Hi,

Me again hope not annoying you.

The Netflix view.. can this be made more 'Netflix'? Because nou it is only with plot info on top of the widget.. no clear art etc.
Not intended to offence.. the home screen looks now a little bit boring if I am honest..

I am using media importer plex for my local library. In Kodi 19.1 LibreElec and with Kodi native skin Estuary I can see the episode thumbs, however when switching over to Arctic Zephyr I see only TV Show fanart for episodes.
Is there something I am missing to have this available?

Can we have a Netflix style for episodes as well?

Maybe I named it wrong ^^
The main idea was not to make it looks fully like a netflix
However I will consider your ideas and maybe make a new Home layout, more "fun" or whatever
In my TODO list related to layouts is adding Horizontal "netflix style" layout 
I think now I will rename this layouts to not confuse people.

btw. Someone said before to add a playing trailers in background like netflix does. I'm planning to implement this but there is no exact date when it will be added.
I'm close to have done some things I did before and then I can play around with some other stuff

You are the best pal!

Not to criticise, just thinking with you how to make this skin better than it already is!

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for your quick replies!

Hope to see the new changes soon

I'm trying doing my best. I like updates and changes so I making it a lot ^^ Don't like if somethings is kinda abandoned.
Maybe someone can say, "if it works, don't touch it" or "it's near perfect" but... It's "NEAR" and always there are some spots which can be improved, so we have to do it!

That is why I am keeping an eye on this skin.. once the changes are available I definitely going to use your skin.. for now I will wait for the big updates and use arctic horizon for now, due to more fun on the screen No big changes will happen if I install your skin after a while as the widgets will be preserved.

I am using media importer plex for my local library.

A bit off-topic but how did you install this? I've tried before and never managed to even get the addon installed, it always fails with "ParseXML: file 'mediaimporter.plex-0.0.9/' doesn't contain a valid add-on type name (kodi.mediaimporter)"

Which platform do you use to run Kodi?

CoreELEC. Just been looking at it again and it seems you need to install a specific fork of Kodi? In which case I think I'm out of luck
