cablegooru 1 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Emby for Kodi or EmbyCon? I limit to 25 for all widgets because of speed penalties Using Emby for Kodi. Is there a way to change that locally?
lightsout 156 Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 I just stumbled across this have wanted to say wow, I am impressed, I have never taken the time to really dig into Kodi. But this made Emby integration so much better. Sent a beer your way. Cheers.
feerlessleadr 173 Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 Hi Fred - I've noticed this particular behavior for a while, but just realized that it may be a bug. I use the NHL.tv addon to watch NHL games through my NHL.tv account, and when viewing the list of games in either the 'List' view or 'Wide' view, it looks like the wrong picture is being shown for the thumb/poster. There is an icon that is generated by the addon to be used as the thumb, however it looks like emuary is using the background fanart for that thumb instead. See below for a picture of what I'm talking about, with a comparison to the default Estuary skin (which displays the thumb correctly in both list and wide views). Apologies for the big pictures, I can't quite figure how to make them smaller. If you need a log, please let me know. Also, just FYI, you do not need an NHL.tv account to view the screens that I'm showing in the screenshot, only to actually play the games (so if you'd like to test yourself, you'll be able to). Thanks!

Most of them don't follow the rules and set the content type and listitem values incorrectly. As you can see it also uses colors for the text. That's something only a skin should do. I don't promise anything but please add a screenshot with activated debug overlay from the sidebar. So I'm able to see the reason. Edited April 7, 2019 by sualfred

sualfred 677 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) As I thought. Wrong Container.Content. It's set to TV shows but it has to be "episodes" or even better "videos". ListItem.DBtype is also empty and should be video or episode instead. Nothing I can do without breaking other things. Sorry. Edit: Even "ListItem.ActualIcon" is wrong...and dozens of overwritten font styles. A great example what content developers should not do. Edited April 7, 2019 by sualfred

Edit: Even "ListItem.ActualIcon" is wrong...and dozens of overwritten font styles. A great example what content developers should not do. That's definitely surprising since the dev is a member of Team Kodi. Assuming the addon modifies the Container.Content to be episodes, as well as the ListItem.DBtype, to either video or episode, would that then allow the skin to show the correct thumb with no additional changes to embuary? Or are there other changes that would need to be made to the addon/skin for this to display properly in Embuary? I'm going to try and tackle modifying this myself, but if I can't, I'm going to request the addon developer to see if he/she would make the change.
sualfred 677 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) Being a Kodi member doesn't mean that you are a good developer Lot of them are just contributors that have a deeper relation to the team. Anyway, that are unwritten rules and we skinners are always the ones who loose. Some people just think in their own little universe and not what's behind the next door (general problem in every scenario, nothing against the dev of the addon). I'll ask him for the things to change tomorrow, because he is reworking the addon anyway. His GitHub branch is "WIP" and the last release was in 2017. Edited April 7, 2019 by sualfred 1
feerlessleadr 173 Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 Thanks - his last release was actually October 2018, which was for a test version of the addon to allow in progress game to be played from the beginning. Not sure why he never sent it to his repo, just a direct download link on the forum (that's the version I'm using, which is why I bring it up). Appreciate the help, as always, Fred.

feerlessleadr 173 Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 @saulfred This worked perfectly - thank you so much!
sualfred 677 Posted April 12, 2019 Author Posted April 12, 2019 Attention: The next version of Krypton will be the last one and then it gets freezed. For future skin versions you have to use Kodi v18 from now on. 1
horstepipe 422 Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 So the last Krypton version 17.6.19 got no changes?
sualfred 677 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 It got some fixes regarding missing labels. Nothing really special.
horstepipe 422 Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Okay. The ‚reduced widget reload on startup‘ would be a nice last change for Krypton :-) As we Apple TV users are bound to Krypton, we‘re very affected by this issue as we start Kodi quite often compared to Libreelec etc..
sualfred 677 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 Ok. I'll prepare a last Embuary Helper version for Krypton that has this change included. 1

sualfred 677 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Posted April 16, 2019 It's an indicator if you have filtered by watched/unwatched items. 1
Haxy 11 Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Sualfred are you using some of kind caching mechanism for images in your skin? I tried to use embuary but it is not usable because still i see „loading content” mesage when navigating. There is no such info on oryginal skin. Everything works smooth I am using Kodi 17 on osmc + embycon
