You can do that in skin settings --> edit home tile select music tile --> edit shortcut --> select music --> artists In the mediabrowser addon teh default for all music is "songs". Some library like view (like kodi) is on the wish list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tired dad 28 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Hello.... I seem to have two Titan skins: 3.2.3 (which says there's an update available, but will not update) and 3.2.36 BETA (Helix)... is that normal?

That means you have both the stable and the beta installed. The skin has just updated on the repo, it can take a while before its fully synced. Just try to update later and it will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updating skins doesn't affect settings does it? All mine went back to default, but I think that was due to the Kodi MB3 plugin update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read on the kodi forums about a strange bug/flaw that sometimes the settings file of kodi gets deleted. The file is called guisettings.xml in the user settings folder of kodi. In that file all your preferences are stored including the skin you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quitting the program after the skin went to 3.36 BETA and restarting made the program go back to the Confluence skin. I tried to add Titan but Kodi said the files were not complete. Two minutes later, V3.39 appeared and that seems to have fixed things. Even my log off button works now as an icon at the bottom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you open up the mediabrowser addon from video-addons, scroll all the way to the bottom --> set views There you can set a prefered view mode for a specific item type. Normally this should be already handled by the skin itself. If you do not enable "do to force view" in the addon settings, the addon will "remember" the view you set for a media type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mediabrowser repo can sometimes be a bit slow with replicating changes. So if a skin gets updated in the repo, it could give an error some time after that update untill all is content on the mirror servers because it "knows" about the update but the files are not yet there. In case that happens just try it again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had turned off the videos (and music) by default as I don't use them, so I wasn't quite sure where to go. I found the settings page via your method confirmed it works.

blublub 10 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) HiI have some movies with DVD/bluray extras.I see the extras in MB Web interface and I can view them there.However I fail to see them in Kodi with Titan, it's just the movie list. Pressing "context menu" doesn't help either. (I somehow expected a button left if the movie list in the film info which then could be selected.) EDIT: Mhh the more I look the more I find missing. in Kodi I can't access the episode / film details I seen in MBS Web interface Am I just to dumb to find that or is it not visible in the "list view" - I have tried Beta and Stable release Edited January 23, 2015 by blublub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e123enitan 237 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 HI Marcel - Any thought on building Titan skin for MB Classic? Other skins like Neo, Xneo etc are currently available, but would be awesome! have almighty Titan , Should I open a I thread for this topic? Cheers!

tube82 73 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi, I just disovered the "Thumbs" view which I really like for TV shows. However, I have a suggestion for it. Would it be possible to add a zoom effect for the selected item, similar to the effect in the wall view? I sometimes get "lost", despite the selection border - something that never happens in wall view. What I mean exactly: vs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 My suggestion for TV shows, in the now playing OSD there's a cover and disc image, but for shows the disc is usually blank since most my shows dont have disc art, can we have an option to disable it for just shows? If it disables everywhere id just leave it on since it looks awesome for movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaefurr 1337 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Another question, are you able to add the scenes to titan like MBT has? also is there a way to view upcoming episodes?

One thing I miss from MBT is checking when the next episode of a show is going to air. Nextaired is integrated into the skin but currently it only works with default kodi library, it will show upcoming episodes and even has an epg with upcoming episodes. I tried a few times to get it working with MediaBrowser too but I failed so far. Looks like we have to wait untill this feature is added to the MediaBrowser addon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No extras or special - but they exist Ah, now I get what you mean. You have some special video files... Please try this: in kodi install the addon "video extras". If you have it installed the skin should show an extra button in that info screen to get you to the extra's. I've build that for native kodi library but it might just work too with mediabrowser.

marcelveldt 736 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 ok thanks for the info No problem. About the scenes: I am not sure if this info is pulled from the MB server by the addon. I'd be happy to skin something for it but I don't think that it exists in the available info in MB3 addon. I'd suggest you to do a feature request for scenes selection and next aired episodes in the kodi addon thread so we can add it to our todo list :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a view for everyones preference in there :-) Also please check out latest beta has a skinsetting to turn on banners in list views, it's also really nice. I'll do the zoom effect later today, I'm currently working on the skin to solve some issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
