The skin I am using is : Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded
please apologize me if I have posted this issue at a wrong section, I am very new to this.

So that I can see what exactly is happening, please enable debugging in the skin settings and try to record the last few seconds of the video until it goes black. Thank you.

Sure! I will record and post a video of the issue in the next reply, after sometime. Surprised and very happy to see your reply on my post.. I love Arctic Zephyr - Reloaded skin!
Also I wanted to ask if it is possible to make the scroll up and down animation smoother? going left and right on the widget is very smooth but going up or down isn't..

This would be better in the skin's section - moving it there.

Here's the video.. Note that I have changed the splash screen to a different image. The home sections does comes when I press the back button (pressed it the the moment cursor is visible in the video) but It was supposed to be Automatic ig...

Looks like it's stuck on Custom_Startup.xml button 9000.

xml:
<control type="button" id="9000">

    <include>HiddenButton</include>

    <onfocus>AlarmClock(Check1,SetFocus(9002),00:01,silent)</onfocus>

    <onfocus condition="!String.IsEmpty(Skin.String(StartupPlaylist)) + !Player.HasMedia">AlarmClock(PlayStartupVideo,PlayMedia($ESCINFO[Skin.String(StartupPlaylist)],1),00:00,silent,false)</onfocus>

    <onback>ReplaceWindow($INFO[System.StartupWindow])</onback>

    <onback>Stop</onback>

</control>

I checked the xml file and its the same so I think this isn't the code to fix something by replacing.. I hope BeatmasterRS finds the solution and post it here (or update the skin)

Also Automatic Theme changer script doesnt work, its missing (in extra addons section)

If you are familiar with editing files, you could please test something:

[open]

Custom_Startup.xml

[search]

xml:
<control type="button" id="9000">

    <include>HiddenButton</include>

    <onfocus>AlarmClock(Check1,SetFocus(9002),00:01,silent)</onfocus>

    <onfocus condition="!String.IsEmpty(Skin.String(StartupPlaylist)) + !Player.HasMedia">AlarmClock(PlayStartupVideo,PlayMedia($ESCINFO[Skin.String(StartupPlaylist)],1),00:00,silent,false)</onfocus>

    <onback>ReplaceWindow($INFO[System.StartupWindow])</onback>

    <onback>Stop</onback>

</control>

[replace]

xml:
<control type="button" id="9000">

    <include>HiddenButton</include>

    <onfocus>ReplaceWindow($INFO[System.StartupWindow])</onfocus>

    <onfocus condition="!String.IsEmpty(Skin.String(StartupPlaylist)) + !Player.HasMedia">PlayMedia($ESCINFO[Skin.String(StartupPlaylist)])</onfocus>

</control>

after that, save the file and restart kodi for changes to take effect. Please backup your files!

Quote:00:12 - It shows Homescreen for a second before Intro (NEED FIX).

It was just a try, but unfortunately it does not work well. And tbh, i have tested on my 2 test systems and cannot yet reproduce the original issue. Maybe someone has an idea?

Quote:00:13 - Intro Started (IT WAS A BIT LAGGY THIS TIME - NEED FIX).

Of course, this can happen if the system is slow: the video resolution/bitrate is too high, or many widgets are loaded in the background and/or the number of items in the widgets is too high.

Quote:00:26 - Intro Repeated (NEED FIX).

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this issue, nor is there any indication in the code that the video should be played 2x....

Quote:01:23 - Script.arctic.zephyr.mod.autocolors is unclickable (Repo link missing ig..), other Addons are working. (NEED FIX)

For that this repo is required: https://github.com/beatmasterRS/reposito...p?raw=true

Quote:I tried installing Astral addon (https://github.com/semool/script.arct...) but It didn't worked..

Please be more specific, thanks.

Quote:01:47 - The scroll animation is already kinda laggy as I said in my first reply.

System could be too slow...

Quote:bonus : If you make the corners of the widget little rounded then It will look extremely nice.. THANKS MATE!!.

If you take a closer look, then you can see, that there allready are rounded corners Wink

Thanks

Hello Again! Sorry for stretching this issue so much but I noticed that Kodi crashes sometimes now.. it crashes right before the Intro starts. Its not very often but I am mentioning it since it maybe an issue with custom_startup.xml indeed.

Quote:Of course, this can happen if the system is slow: the video resolution/bitrate is too high, or many widgets are loaded in the background and/or the number of items in the widgets is too high.

I compressed the video from 39mb to 8mb and now it doesn't lags however it still repeats 2 times like before..

Quote:For that this repo is required: https://github.com/beatmasterRS/reposito...p?raw=true

Yay! it worked!.. but you need to fix this option in the skin so that others can also use it with no issue. Can there be option to replace default with darkest in the automatic change?

Quote:System could be too slow...

It is Sony A8H (2020).. to be specific

Quote:If you take a closer look, then you can see, that there already are rounded corners

Yes I have seen that but it I was asking if it could be more rounded (now it looks like 5px, I want it to be 20px+.. saying in terms of photoshopping a png file).. I will Do it myself if you could tell me where I can find that image and if it will not mess up the shadows.

Smile

Thanks!

As long as the addon is not in the offizial repo, there is nothing to fix. Maybe @semool whant's to submit his addon? Smile

The setting for trying to keep theme/color/font is only available, if there is no startupimage/video set. There will be no additional setting.

There will be no changes, related to this, sorry.
