Yep... will keep my main box on Nexus with Amber until there is either a good alternative (Arctic Horizon or Arctic Fuse seem OK and are "Omega ready" + actively developed but I'm too fond of Amber to switch for now).

Really hope Amber will be updated and maintained further.

Installed it on the latest nightly (so after Omega beta 2)...

It will not install by default but after changing the following in addon.xml (in the Amber zip file):

<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.15.0"/>
to
<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.17.0"/>

it installed and I could use it. Not sure yet if it's stable and of course new functions are not implemented.

Thank you for this, Amber stopped working when I moved from 21beta2 to 21beta3 and your workaround fixed it. I don't use any of the things that folks say are broken so for me perfect solution. Will be a sad day when this skin dies, have tried all of them and the only other one that comes close to be able to make look like I want is Embuary, but Amber does everything and all how I want it.

Wow big mistake I just updated to Omega! I like Amber and don't want to lose it.

Me too. Any idea whether this skin will be updated to support Kodi v21?

I'm just curious, does anybody else have issues with Kodi freezing or crashing a bunch? I'd say 75% of the time, if I leave Kodi open on my pc and turn off my tv and receiver, when I come back the next day, the whole thing takes up one quarter of my tv screen and times out and closes. I will also occasionally have it just up and close after I finish a video (not very often, but often enough to annoy me). It will frequently crash and close during Library updates. It has done this for years, regardless of the version of kodi. I'm really tempted to move on and try to find another option, but I do love the customization of Kodi, particularly of Amber though.

Hi
I had a similar issue if you just turn the tv off. I found it was best to close Kodi down and hibernate windows when you are finished with it.

So I have my pc set to never go to sleep or hibernate, so it should have no influence on it.

How do you change the background image to use a photo other than the ones included in the skin?

I go to Settings and Backgrounds and when choosing the Single option (as I want just 1 background for everything) there is no way to choose a folder other than the default one for the skin.
How can I navigate to another folder to choose an image?

Thank you.

Once there at the image selection screen, you can go folders up with your back key on the remote or backspace key on the keyboard. Then you can access your whole file system and select any image.
