A picture is worth a thousand words and will indeed encourage the kodi-guest users to enter the picture gallery much more than a static menu or tile with a shortcut to the picture section .

Thanks.

I found a suitable movie icon but it would be nice to have a selection of matching icons in the skin. Again great work! This is probably the most original and feature filled skin around! Any chance of a cover flow view and/or maybe even bluray cases?

I'm not understanding, if you add a new tile on the home screen - no matter which section - you're getting the default icon for music? As for a set of icons, I opened metroicon.net for that purpose and I could include a directory within the skin for icons specific to types if it's deemed to be a good idea.

If you press "Back Button" while you are in the Home Screen it will take you directly to the "Now Playing visualization screen with fanart (it shows a blank white BG when no art is available).

Go to “Settings/Skin/OSD" and “Enable Music Visualization”. And that will use the built in kodi music visualizations instead.

If you just want a black background select “None” in “Settings/Music/Visualization”.

Cheers

I've posted this a while back but didn't get a reply.

When playing videos from the Movies section, the movie/video information does not show on the OSD but the poster image does. Instead, the video's URL is just shown.




Whereas the opposite seems to occur when streaming from the TV Show section - the episode information is shown on the OSD but not the poster image.





The results are consistent, every time I watch a movie or tv show the above results occur respectively. It's been kinda bugging me to see incomplete information/poster image on the OSD. The information and images have definitely been scraped successfully for all the movies, tv shows and episodes in my library and shows up flawlessly throughout the rest of the skin, it's only the OSD that seems to mess up for some reason.

Hope to see this fixed.

Thanks Piers.

However I am having a few minor problem. First I cannot access the favorites menu. When I select favorites on the home screen nothing happens.

Second problem is a weird one, in the skin preferences when I select the manage categories everything works well, as long as I have Kodi in English language, but when I switch to my local language ( French) I have a blank menu.

And finally this is probably a Kodi related problem, but I am using a Xbox 360 controller to navigate in Kodi, and sometimes the controller just stops working.

Thank you for your help.

I'm just updating to Helix and looking for a new skin, think I will try 1080xf first. Is there a list of XBMC/Kodi add-ons that the 1080xf skin supports? or add-ons it depends on?

Add-ons like:

Artwork Downloader
Artist SlideShow
CD ArtManager
Extended Info
Skin.Widgets

etc

Thanks
