puithove 209 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) @@marcelveldt - Enjoying the improvements in the latest round. The menu building speed improvement is staggering. Here's a little issue. When the spotlight column is empty, there's no way to get over to the right to change what's displayed. Here I have no "In Progress Episodes" so I can't get over and change it to Next Up. It just so happens that "In Progress Episodes" is the skin default so this is what it looked like to me after resetting the skin. Also - what is the source of the thumbnails for the "In Progress TV Shows" on the submenu? I notice that the thumbnail is always the same as the "All TV Shows" item. Wouldn't it be better if it selected a thumbnail from the NextUp list where you're taken if you select that item? Here in this screenshot Breaking Bad is definitely not in my Next Up as all episodes are marked watched, yet it's displayed as the thumbnail. Very, very minor, and we wouldn't want it to end up blank either if the underlying list is empty... Edit: correction - not always the same as "All TV shows" it must be a different submenu item I've noticed that does that... Still, seems like it's pulling from a different list.

saitoh183 137 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 good one, will add that to my list. Any ideas for colors ? Green, Yellow/orange, Sky blue/Cyan, Magenta, Red, purple(light)
saitoh183 137 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Something seems to be messed up in your setup... Maybe you could try to do the following: Edit guisettings.xml file in texteditor for every xbmc profile (which has the problem). Remove all references to skin.titan.beta in it. The lines look like this: <setting type="string" name="skin.titan.widget-31157">custom</setting> That way the skin is reset to defaults... Another thing you could try to do is reset the menu items to defaults with the reset button for that in skin settings I will try. But for the record, my wife profile has never had titan before yesterday. Also what do i have to save if i want to revert back in case this doesnt work. So i dont have to put everything back manually since its pretty long.

Can hear navigation sounds if I cursor up/down, and can use the back or exit keys to get back home. I even created a shortcut to a specific window (Channels) and it does the same thing. Kodi.log shows no additional entries when trying to get to PVR stuff. I see this on both boxes that I've tried it on.

Note that the helix version is a different addon version... If you use the gotham version on helix you get a lot of troibles like blank Live TV windows

Just make a copy of the file before making any modifications. In that file are all your kodi settings including the skin settings. I'm starting to think that somewhere between all beta version you tried something got messed up as I can't reproduce your issues on 4 different machines... Edited December 31, 2014 by marcelveldt

I'm using 3.2.21 "Beta (Helix)" version of the skin from the beta repo.

You have lot's of different yellow, orange etc. :-) Or do you want me to to put something in and you see if you like it. Maybe other users have ideas for this too. It's just a simple change to add more colors so no problem

Damn, you're right... I placed the gotham skin in the helix zip... I'm now going to build a new zip file on the beta repo. For teh beta repo I have to manually build the zipfiles and that can cause some errors

marcelveldt 736 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 Well, that would do it! Oops, sorry for the trouble. new version 3.2.22 will be available within the next 30 minutes on the beta repo As for your other request: I will look into the code for the in progress tv shows thumbnail image. BTW: the "breaking bad" picture is the skin's default so it's not pulled from your collection. I guess that when you have any in progress episodes that it will show that one but I'm not sure.

If you've completely reset the menu it's too late and you have to redo the menu tiles the way you want, else you may send me your Original guisettings file and I'll remove only the entries according the widgets for you.

jasonmcroy 316 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Hi Marcel, Is it possible to implement being able to use the addon setting under Interface - "Select Item Action" when set at info? If I use it now I get an error when selecting a video that says "special info dialog not supported. Use XBMC dialog instead".
saitoh183 137 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Quick question, Lets say you are using 2 row configuration and all the items on the bottom row have widgets, how are you suppose to get to the quit section. Same question goes to when you have the profile button set at the top left and you have widgets on all the top row tiles. In both cases, these 2 settings become inaccessible

If I use it now I get an error when selecting a video that says "special info dialog not supported. Use XBMC dialog instead". Hi Jason, currently not because I havent skinned that seperate info dialog, whats the benefit of using that info dialog instead of the default one? For now you can just enable the item info action in xbmc video options.

Same question goes to when you have the profile button set at the top left and you have widgets on all the top row tiles. In both cases, these 2 settings become inaccessible Ah, that's a nice one... Short answer: Not possible, you have to make sure you have a settings tile added to your setup, there's no way around that because of how xbmc handles navigation. If you're stuck now you can grab a mouse and click the power icon or press S on a keyboard for the shutdown menu. Speaking of that; you can also assign a button on your remote to open the powermenu

To be honest, no functional reason other than I just thought it looked cool in the 1080XF skin! -Jason
dark_slayer 103 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Hey Marcel Noticed that you have the disc art very well placed on your show info screen now I'm glad that you have play and resume working from your native Titan dialog. Are you incorporating the beta fast processing into titan already? Are those the speed improvements

Are you incorporating the beta fast processing into titan already? Are those the speed improvements Yeah I did some more finishing touches on the info dialog. The beta fast processing for the mb3 addon is incorporated in the skin, is really fast now imo. The speed improvements in the skin I mentioned are about the menu building which has gone from minutes to just a few seconds now. 1

I will look into the custom mb3 infodialog if users are interested in this.
