marcelveldt 736 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi - Following, Genre posters for TVshow works but not for movies, nothing major, but it worth noting, also I couldn't get the substitute to work? any suggestions? Thanks The genre posters work fine for me but you have to keep in mind that only english genres will be served with a matching poster image. So for example the genre "comedy" will get the comedy poster but in my language, Dutch, it's "komedie" and the poster won't show up. There's no solution for this as far as I'm aware of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcelveldt 736 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 @marcelveldt Is there a way to increase the text size on the TV Guide? It is quite hard to read. I can't get a screenshot right now, but compared to the guide in WMC the WMC one is much clearer. I already adjusted to show only 7 rows, but that hasn't made any noticeable difference. Also, a minor display bug. I'm using the vertical menu, and on my TV shows using the next up widget. The images are all squished. Compared to the Movies widget which looks just fine. Is there a change log anywhere that you keep updated? At some point I think I'm going to want to move from the beta to the stable release now that my experimental htpc is going to take over as the main screen. I'd like to be able to keep up on what's new. Thanks again for the great work. This is honestly one of the best Kodi skins out there, the number of customization options out of the box is just astounding. This kind of flexibility is really what the default skin should be. Edit - one other issue I noticed last night. NetfliXBMC seems to be updating rather frequently. I'm not sure if this is an addon or skin issue. I'll get the full screen notification that its updating when I go into my local Movie or TV library. It seems to pop up randomly when I go into settings or pretty much any other screen as well. Any thoughts on what controls that? I would have expected it to only update when I go into the add-on. I do not have NetfliXMBC mode activated, and it isn't an item on my homescreen with any widgets that would need updating. 1) I have now increased the text size if you've set the guide to display 7 rows. The 9 and 12 row views are left untouched. 2) Fixed the bug with the squished images. 3) I update the log with every release to stable. Just look into addons --> skins --> titan and show the info for the log. 4) fixed the netflix updating issue, it was refreshing way too often. Will provide a new beta with these fixes later today.

e123enitan 237 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Forget to mentioned in the earlier post, I am not certain why my system behaved wire when I turned on the animation, the rotation works initially, but as I try to play TV shows it keep loading endlessly, that I have to power off. When I restart I lost all my setting. Then I have to rebuild by MB3/Titan add-on from scratch. What do you suggest I do? Shall I try animation again, first turn on Kodi debug to capture log, what is your thought? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsorion 0 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hi, thanks for your feedback. I just tried to reproduce your issues but I can't so I think I need some more info... Issue 1 - Hide widget backgrounds no longer seems to work and is always on meaning I try to hide the background and it stays on. What do you mean by widget backgrounds ? You mean the background on a per-tile base ? What steps did you take to accomplish this ? Which homescreen layout are you using ? Do you know that you can completely disable section backgrounds in the skin settings ? Please describe in more detail how you'd like to see things. Issue 2 - All library views no longer respect "Sort Name" in the metadata. The MB3 addon now uses the native Kodi sort methods for this, this is not done by the MB3 server or addon any more. In order to change the sort options look in the Kodi settings and especially the "side blade menu", left key on your remove/keyboard. For me the sort is working fine, but I might be missing something... Issue 3 - setting a widget to none on one of my shortcuts just makes it default to TV Shows widget Couldn't reproduce. What steps did you take to accomplish and what homescreen layout are you using ? Issue 1 - Sorry I meant the widget panel background the area in the image circled in red I am getting used to it but used to be able to shut it off. Issue 2 - Going to add images as I think it explains it better then I can typing. Image 1 is the Kodi library view Image 2 is the MB library view Image 3 is the side blade settings used in both views Image 4 shows what I mean in the metadata Issue 3 - It might be how I have my source set up still playing around with it please disregard for now. Thanks again for your time and this skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_slayer 103 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hey again marcelveldt, Two things I'm still noticing on the latest beta Posters never seem to populate. Banners, thumbs, and folder/backdrop images are present in a variety of view types, but none of the views like "big panel" which uses the poster artwork are populating for me (though the image type is successfully being pulled into other skins like nox and xf) The number of recent items still combines played and unplayed - i.e. if you play or mark a new movie as played your "New Movies" list doesn't change it just has the same items with a new one marked as watched. Again (hope you still like the comparisons ) nox and xf are pulling whatever number I specify of unplayed items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for your time and this skin. First of all: I see you've changed the font of the skin. Didn't you like the default one ? Issue 1 --> fixed, will provide a new beta of the skin today or tomorrow. Issue 2 --> This is a problem in the addon (or a feature request). Currently the addon uses Kodi to sort the media but that way it ignores any sort options you've set in the MB3 library. This is not releated to the skin but to the MediaBrowser for Kodi addon itself. @@xnappo see this issue.. Since the addon is switched to use native kodi sorting instead of MB3-serverside this issue occurs apparently. Is it possible to retrieve the movies sorted by title from the server respecting the sort options set serverside and still be able to use Kodi's sortoptions ?

It could be that I fixed this earlier today because I discovered a small error with the poster images when using MB3 libraries. Will provide new beta later today, please see if that fixes the issue. 2. Reproduced, small error in the MB3 addon. Fixed it and a new version of the MB3 addon will be supplied soon.

I can kinda work around that by changing the sort order to "Year" inside the boxset, but that setting is remembered by Kodi for each boxset separately on each Kodi instance. This means for each client in the house, I have to browse to each boxset to change the sort order. Don't know if there's a way around this or not.

On user collections the genre posters are missing. It does work on the "all movies" node though.

jluce50 118 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Forgive me if this has been addressed, I'm new to this skin (and Kodi in general). I've noticed that the youtube trailers button rarely shows up. My understanding was that the "Trailer" button will only show up if there are local trailers, but the "Youtube Trailer" button should always show up. Is this a known issue?
