Thanks!

If i try install it from inside Kodi it shows 3.44.20 but if you look at the repo http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/helix/skin.1080xf/ you can download 3.44.22 from there

EDIT: nvm a force refresh and 3.44.22 is showing in Kodi now

It can take up to a day in total before all mirror copies have the new file.
We don't want the clients to grab the updates more than a few times per day, because otherwise the entire world will be redirected to the first mirror to have the file, and that mirror will die.
So please be patient.

I normally advise skinners to tell people that the update will be there the next day.

Thanks! That is what i was looking for

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I have others question, i think they are easy to be solved.

1- I did the Smart playlists, having "Films" - "Animated Films" and "Documentary" in the Films section.

IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO FORUM RESTRICTION.

The problem is that i dont find in the textures.xbt the correct icon to be used. As u can see, the "new icons" are way pixelated, and looks awful.
Could you say me where are those icons used in the home screen?

2- In that image, u can see that the main addon (the great image) shows "last films added". Is there any way to change it to "random films"? I dont find the way to change that part of the screen.

3- In this other image, you can see that collection doesnt show the Plot. When i used aeon now, collection had a little Plot, i need to activate something or...?

IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO FORUM RESTRICTION.

4- Can i quit those "+" squares from the menus i dont need them? Like music for example.

Thanks for listening me, and thanks in advance Regards

I'm still a bit confused about Choosing Artwork in 1080XF.

I don't use an artwork manager program like Ember, I've just been using Artwork Downloader functionality in Aeon MQ5 Skin and the various Artwork Downloader modes e.g.

Auto Mode (Full auto scan of entire library) - ("Update Art' on your options menu in this skin)
Solo Mode (Individual auto scan for just the selected title)
GUI Mode (Where you can choose each type of artwork individually for a particular title)

When the Universal Movie scraper first imports a new movie file in to Kodi, that scraper will find a poster and fanart image and display them in Kodi within the internal database.

I then in addition usually just run Artwork Downloader in Solo mode against each new movie title or TV Show title as I add them to my library, in this mode Artwork Downloader will automatically download all the different types of artwork that are available for that particular title and save the images to the movies folder on the file server and then display them all on your titles in XBMC, nice and easy and quick.

If I then for example don't like the poster it picked automatically, I can use Artwork Downloader GUI mode and choose a different poster myself and Artwork Downloader will download that new poster to my file server as a Poster.jpg file replacing the first one, then to assign the new poster to the movie title in XBMC I use the "Get Thumb" -> Poster option in Aeon MQ5 title info area and select that same poster again and then its displayed in XBMC.

First question would be which types of artwork does 1080XF actually use / support?

In 1080XF if I go to the info area for a movie title there is an Artwork Downloader section with various options for different types of artwork as in the screen shot below.

But not all types of available artwork are listed as an option to select from this area e.g. banner and disc art are not listed. This seems to be a static list and does not change when looking at other movie titles, so it appears not to be a dynamic list of artwork types, based on what artwork is actually available for each title.

So presumably its only listing the types of artwork images that 1080XF skin actually uses / supports? which would make sense. Although I can't say I've seen any Logos or ClearArt being displayed in the various Movie library views?

IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO FORUM RESTRICTION.

If I click on Poster from this list Artwork Downloader (In Gui mode presumably) is used and Artwork Downloader shows me what posters are available for this particular title. If I select one Artwork Downloader runs and says 1 item downloaded and if I check it has put it on the file server etc.But the new poster is not yet assigned / being displayed to the movie title in Kodi.

So if I then click Choose Art again and then select the "Choose Art" option which is listed above "Artwork Downloader" and then select the Poster category, it displays more posters again. If I then pick the same new poster again, it is then assigned to the movie title and Kodi then displays the new poster. This works as I expect and is the same as using Artwork Downloader in Gui mode in Aeon MQ5 and then selecting the "Get Thumb" -> Poster option to select the poster for display on the title.

As there appears to be no option in the 1080XF skin to run Artwork Downloader in Solo mode? There appears to be no easy / fast way to get all the artwork images downloaded to the movies folders on your NAS / File Server.

I could run each of the Artwork Downloader options as shown in the screen shot above and that would download those types of artwork images to my file server but I'd have artwork missing that are not listed in those options. Also solo mode will grab and create extrafanart and extrathumb folders on the file server.

I realise that 1080XF is not a full artwork skin and doesn't use all of the different types of artwork that is available. However if I were to use 1080XF for my Kodi HTPCs then I'd need to ideally have a Solo mode option to ensure my downloaded artwork files are maintained and put on the file server for each new movie / TV Show title that is added to the library. As if I change to a different Kodi skin again or even to a different Media Center platform I'll need those artwork files to be on the server.

Or I'd have to be brave and run the "Update Art" option which you do have in the skin and let Artwork Downloader run riot on everything in the entire library which I don't like doing as there is less control over what's happening especially when you have a very large video library.

A few screen shots from Aeon MQ5, if you bring up the context menu on a title you can choose Artwork Downloader Solo or GUI modes.

IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO FORUM RESTRICTION.

Or if you push up on to the top menu you can choose to run Artwork Downloader in any of its modes

IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO FORUM RESTRICTION.

And here are all the artwork files on the file server after running solo mode against the title

IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO FORUM RESTRICTION.

Sorry for the long winded post the artwork stuff is kinda hard to explain and get your head around at times. Upshot is can we please have an Artwork Downloader Solo mode option on the options / context menu?

Cheers

Why should i do this. It is your personal skin. You do what you want. If i want to see this i will do this on my htpc for myself.
But one question, why do only a few skin support such scripts. These scripts are a great help to show all informations from the databases.

They are helpful to some, personally I don't like information being displayed everywhere. I can already see actors, search by film, artwork, rating, plot, trailer, director, writer and various other bits of information. How much more information do you want?

Thats what i mean. You don´t like it, it´s your skin, so you don´t have to put it in. For me, i´m not interested in to see trailer, rating or such things. If its a trilogy i want to see all 3 movies in one section. And so i build it for my self or i look for skin which can do this. I like your skin and i don´t want to push everything in it like the 1080mb3 mod, which is really really shit for me. But thats the point, everybody has a different point of view.

Quote:I see. Movie sets work well, just enable the option and movies will be grouped together. I'm not entirely sure what you want, but it appears just a small plot to be displayed for sets?

Thats not what i or serpao means. You only see that it is a movieset. With the right scripts you can see which movies are part of this set. look at this and you see what mean -

That was the only thing i asked you. I used a long time arctic-iimk from jurialmunkey, thats why i thought it would be no such big thing to integrate it.

Why should i lie and i´m not the only one. And it´s only my personal opinion.
