@beatmasterrs are you aware of the needed change to 17 with the next nightly?  Omega branch is still at 5.15.

<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.15.0"/>

Thanks for the reminder, I have just made changes and submitted an Omega version  https://github.com/xbmc/repo-skins/issues/419

Hello, first of all, thank you for the fantastic work on the skin – it's truly impressive!
I'm in the process of setting it up and have a question regarding the HDR10plus tag that can be added to the file name to display the corresponding flag. While Kodi is detecting HDR without the file name trick, I'm encountering an issue. Specifically, the file name trick isn't working for movies in HDR10+. Even after applying the tag, the 10+ flag doesn't appear.
Is there something I might be overlooking or any additional steps I should take to make it work for HDR10+ content?

[AngryBird]

I brought this up a while back in this thread and was told because Kodi now detects HDR10 (but not HDR10+) that it's all HDR10 and takes preference over what's in the filename until such time as Kodi detects HDR10+. 

I was never able to find a solution, but I'm using Emby for Kodi now so it's no longer a problem.

[drash]

Thanks AngryBird for your feedback.
The approache you are using seems interesting, so I decided to give it a shot.
I installed Emby and MediaInfo Plugin, so HDR10+ is now well detected in Emby.
And I setup also Emby for Kodi Next Gen, but the HDR or Atmos info is not passing through.
Any idea on what I'm missing here?

[AngryBird]

I don't believe the information is actually coming from Emby.  Just the fact that I'm not using Kodi to scrape my movies or tv shows allows the skin to get it from the filename and it's not getting overridden by Kodi. 

You will still need to rename files with .hdr10plus. or .atmos.  (case not sensitive) in order to get the flags.

Here is the portion of code with all the strings it looks for.

    <expression name="IsAudioCodecATMOS">
        String.Contains(ListItem.FileNameAndPath,atmos) | [VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen + String.Contains(Player.FileNameAndPath,atmos)]
    </expression>
    <expression name="IsAudioCodecDTSX">
        String.Contains(ListItem.FileNameAndPath,dts-x) | String.Contains(ListItem.FileNameAndPath,dtsx)
        | [VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen + [String.Contains(Player.FileNameAndPath,dts-x) | String.Contains(Player.FileNameAndPath,dtsx)]]
    </expression>
    <expression name="IsVideoHDR10Plus">
        String.IsEmpty(ListItem.HdrType) + String.IsEmpty(VideoPlayer.HdrType) + [String.Contains(ListItem.FileNameAndPath,hdr10plus)
        | [VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen + String.Contains(Player.FileNameAndPath,hdr10plus)]]
    </expression>
    <expression name="IsVideoHDR10">
        [String.IsEqual(ListItem.HdrType,hdr10) | String.Contains(ListItem.FileNameAndPath,hdr10)
        | [VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen + [String.IsEqual(VideoPlayer.HdrType,hdr10) | String.Contains(Player.FileNameAndPath,hdr10)]]] + !$EXP[IsVideoHDR10Plus]
    </expression>
    <expression name="IsVideoHDR">
        [String.IsEmpty(ListItem.HdrType) + String.IsEmpty(VideoPlayer.HdrType) + [String.Contains(ListItem.FileNameAndPath,hdr)
        | [VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen + String.Contains(Player.FileNameAndPath,hdr)]]] + !$EXP[IsVideoHDR10Plus] + !$EXP[IsVideoHDR10]
    </expression>
    <expression name="IsVideoHLG">
        String.IsEqual(ListItem.HdrType,hlg) | String.Contains(ListItem.FileNameAndPath,hlg)
        | [VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen + [String.IsEqual(VideoPlayer.HdrType,hlg) | String.Contains(Player.FileNameAndPath,hlg)]]
    </expression>
    <expression name="IsVideoDolbyVision">
        String.IsEqual(ListItem.HdrType,dolbyvision) | String.Contains(ListItem.FileNameAndPath,.dv.) | String.Contains(ListItem.FileNameAndPath,dolbyvision) | String.Contains(ListItem.FileNameAndPath,dolby-vision) | String.Contains(ListItem.FileNameAndPath,dolby vision)
        | [VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen + [String.IsEqual(VideoPlayer.HdrType, dolbyvision) | String.Contains(Player.FileNameAndPath,.dv.) | String.Contains(Player.FileNameAndPath,dolbyvision) | String.Contains(Player.FileNameAndPath,dolby-vision) | String.Contains(Player.FileNameAndPath,dolby vision)]]
    </expression>

Thank you very helpfull!

Another question, is it possible to get the Tomatoe and Metacritic rating out of my nfo files (instead of the TMDB Helper) ?

[AngryBird]

Not sure.  I use TMM which places Tomato and Metacritic info in the nfo, but I'm guessing the skin isn't using that because there is usually a pause before it displays it seems to be pulling the data real-time once a movie is highlighted. 

I'm not aware of a setting where you can choose the source, maybe to make sure it's current?  Someone else may need to comment.

I use Light IMDb Ratings plugin for that information.

@beatmasterrs hi mate thanks for your work on this great skin. Would it be possible to add a couple of requests please. I understand if not.

First one is an issue I have when using locked views on poster flix v 22 it sets everything to double-flix.

If I change the following in the myvideo.xml file

<include>View_521_Minimal_V2</include>
<include>View_522_Minimal_V2_Episodes</include>
<include>View_524_Minimal_V2_Seasons</include>

To the bottom of the include view section it works fine.


Second one is when disabling global/home header could we have flix view and widgets clearlogo,description and flags moved up to start where header would normally

Again thanks for your work on this skin

sorry just done further testing on forced views all work fine accept poster flix so I have left everything as it was and moved 
<include>View_521_Minimal_V2</include>
To the last one in the list and move 521 in views tag to seconds position just after 50 and that seems to work for all locked views now

I'm using this skin with a vertical home menu (I love the minimalist look) with the segoe font. I would like if possible to make the menu font size just a wee bit smaller. I've read previous posts on this thread and I appreciate fully that it's not possible to parameterize everything, and I get that and agree. I've tried to handcraft it but not knowing the relevant xml files, I'm at a bit of a loss. I thought the home menu used 'LargeBold' and have changed the size value for Segoe in the Font.xml file but it's not been recognised. I'm also using the skinshortcuts addon and I don't know if that's doing something. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Just recently tried AZR cause it was the only one that I could install after installing a recent nightly of Kodi 21 Omega. 😁 It looks great! Question -- Does this already have built in support for the PreShow Experience add-on?

Font size can be edited in the font.xml. <name>Home</name> and <name>HomeFO</name> is used. Be sure to edit the related fontset.

[snowfood]

Thank you!  I might have a play just out of interest.

As it happens, I've bought a bigger TV (from 21 to 34")  and the font doesn't look quite so imposing now

[Nipius]

Thanks for all the hard work! Really appreciated and I keep coming back to your skin as my “daily driver”

The only thing I would love to see is the ability to show the clearlogo instead of the written title on the “clean and minimal” start screen. Would it be possible to add this feature?

Many thanks in advance for your response and keep up the awesome work!
