Thanks for the update. It is still not working. It's a tough one, isn't it? I've found two new issues:
1. The tv show poster has disappeared in ViewsRightList
2. The thumbnail window (showing the extra fanart images) in Shelf3DV2 has disappeared.

Actor images are still missing in ViewsRightList. Probably related to issue 1.

Now this is odd...the playlist numbers don't display if I open Kodi with MQ 7. However, if I switch to MQ 9 and back to MQ 7 the numbers display.

I have a fix for Right List TV Shows and Actor art. Open ViewsRightList.xml and find VIDEO SEM ESTOJO. Change the visible line three down from that to this...

xml:
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(norightlistvideocase) + [Container.Content(movies) | [Container.Content(musicvideos) + !Skin.HasSetting(showalternatemusicvideoposter)] | Container.Content(sets) | ListItem.IsCollection] + ![Window.IsActive(500) | Window.IsActive(502)] | ![Container.Content(movies) | Container.Content(musicvideos) | Container.Content(sets) | ListItem.IsCollection]</visible>

I also have a fix for Shelf 3D v2. Open ViewsShelf3Dmv2.xml and find...

xml:
<control type="multiimage">

	<left>1215</left>

	<top>158</top>

	<width>690</width>

	<height>410</height>

	<timeperimage>3250</timeperimage>

	<fadetime>650</fadetime>

	<imagepath diffuse="spin/mask_cover3.png" background="true">$INFO[Skin.String(CustomMusicLogoPath)]$INFO[ListItem.Artist,,/extrafanart/]</imagepath>

	<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(keepaspect)">KeepAspect</include>

	<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(noartmusicshelf3d)</visible>

</control>

Change it to this...

xml:
<control type="multiimage">

	<left>1215</left>

	<top>158</top>

	<width>690</width>

	<height>410</height>

	<timeperimage>3250</timeperimage>

	<fadetime>650</fadetime>

	<imagepath diffuse="spin/mask_cover3.png" background="true">plugin://script.artwork.helper/multiimage/listitem/?refresh=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]&amp;&amp;arttype=fanart</imagepath>

	<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(keepaspect)">KeepAspect</include>

	<visible>Skin.HasSetting(noartmusicshelf3d)</visible>

</control>

OK...I think I have this playlist problem figured out. Try this...open Home.xml, and right above the </controls> line at the bottom add...

xml:
<control type="list" id="43260">

	<include>invisible_list</include>

	<content>$VAR[library_status_content]</content>

	<visible>String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl1) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl2) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl3) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl4) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl5) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl6) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl7) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl8) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl9) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl10) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl11) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl12) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl3) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl4) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl15) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl16) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl17) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl18) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl19) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl20)</visible>

</control>

Open IncludesVariables.xml and add this variable anywhere...

xml:
<variable name="library_status_content">

	<value condition="String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl1) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl2) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl3) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl4) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl5) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl6) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl7) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl8) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl9) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl10) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl11) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl12) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl3) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl4) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl15) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl16) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl17) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl18) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl19) | String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),vpl20)">plugin://service.library.data.provider?type=playliststats&amp;id=ActivateWindow(videos,$INFO[Container(9000).ListItem.Property(path)],return)</value>

</variable>

Now see if your playlist numbers are working.

Thanks for the fixes. I've checked the library status on my Kodi Maven Fork that has the MQ7 and MQ9 skin. I'm seeing the same behaviour you're describing in your post. Really weird.

@latts9923, I've solved this issue. My video library nodes appeared to be corrupt, or missing. I found this out by chance by selecting Video Nodes - Files from the sub menu items list, instead of Files.

Did you try my latest change (post #33) to the playlist status? I have them working now in every version of MQ 7 except Leia.

No I didn't because I was probably writing post #34 while you posted message #33. Thanks for the reminder. I'll apply the fix and have no doubts you've fixed this issue.

EDIT: Fix is working. Nice! Thanks.

MB1968

@latts9923, I have 2 requests.

1. Can you move the episode aired info to the top of the pause screen and top of the dialog video info screen?

2. And can you look at the aspect ratio of the actor images in the dialog video info screen? That should be 2:3 but somehow the small images look distorted.

latts9923 · 2024-03-26, 12:46

@MB1968
Cool....glad the playlist status is finally working. You're welcome!

Looks like you're missing the clearlogo for that TV Show. I can look at moving the episode info up if the clearlogo is missing.

Hmm...my actor art is the correct aspect ratio for the pause screen.

MB1968

Clearlogo is not missing for that tv show (Bevergem).

The skin does not display the clearlogo in the Dialog Video Info screen and Pause screen, although I've set the option Show title on top as Clearlogo. (EDIT: forget this. Two other options were blank in the topmenu. I forgot to set the value for them)

When set to Text the tv show title is displayed and the episode info is on the correct position.

Concerning the actor images in the Pause screen (EDIT: not the Pause screen but the Info screen while the video is playing), I've checked the size for one of the actor thumbnails in Windows and determined the size is aprroximate 127x156. That should be 127x190, or 104x156 (better) when the aspect ratio 2:3 is being respected.

@latts9923, check my correction in bold in message 40.

I do not see the distortion in the actor images...

The code is set to display those images at 127 X 165. I selected one of your cast images in Photoshop and the dimensions convert to 127 X 232.

I don't get this. You just confirmed that the aspect ratio has changed from 1:1,5 (2:3) to 1:1,299. (165/127) but you're not seeing distorted images? But imho they should look distorted, or am I missing something?

You've probably used the image from #38 on Imgur to check the dimensions, correct? Something is wrong with the dimensions of that image. It seems that Imgur has resized my rectangular image into an almost square image. I'll send you an email containing 4 images. Please check and let me know your opinion on it.

I just noticed that the fanart in the thumbnail window is not rotating in Shelf3D V2 view.

EDIT: Can you look at the rating stars for music albums without ratings? I'm seeing greyed out red stars.

@MB1968
I forgot to reply back...the fanart for Shelf 3D v2 for Music is now rotating. Also, I have a fix for albums with no rating displaying stars with color.
