I don't really want fanart to be so dominating on my home screen, especially on the movies tab where I think posters are more appealing to the eye. If I want to see the fanart in its entirety, I can already do that in the library so I liked having something different and more compact from the home screen. I do actually like the wider version of the Home and Weather tabs, though, contrary as it may sound.

I also miss the dark grey backgrounds for the customisable tiles, but that's because I just made some really nice icons for the few apps I use, and now they look horrible with the green and blue behind them. The grey tiles were also less distracting than these colourful ones - the fanart already widened the view more than I liked, and now there's bright colours on both sides of the screen to add to that effect. And fewer tiles may be cleaner, but it's also less functional. Sure, I could just enable the Applications tab and use the tiles there, but I don't really use enough addons to warrant that - having four on the TV Shows tab was the perfect amount and kept my home screen free of the clutter created by an extra unneeded tab.

Is really impossible/hard to do one option to "hide/unhide"? For example, i dont use the 2-4 widgets in tvshow / music, and is pretty ugly having those tiles with the "+" there. I guess if they can be hidden (for everyone who wants, obviously) can be much clearer/beautiful for those people (like me) who doesnt use them.

Thanks

I think those textures may have been missed from the update when packed, I'll let you know once I have a reply.

There seems to be a intermittent navigational issue with the new fanart area on the Movies menu? Possible on the TV Shows menu as well.

If I push down on to the first tile on the movie menu the top left one, and then I push right arrow to highlight the fanart part, this fanart area should always use the Up/Down arrows so you can flip through the movie titles, when this is working I can then press right arrow again to get to the two titles on the right hand side OK.

However some times the fanart part starts scrolling using the Left/Right arrows and the Up/Down arrows no longer flip through the titles and then when that happens you can't navigate to the two tiles on the right hand side as you are stuck on the fanart part etc.

Hope that makes sense.



Not sure if its related to being in Windowed mode or Full screen mode, I know the menu seems to go out of sync some times when in windowed mode.

I also used the MetroIcon website to created some matching icons for the coloured tiles looks quite good!

I would also prefer an option to have four tiles turned on, on the right hand side if you want to, as I have more video add-ons I'd like to add here.

Thanks

"I use Artwork Downloader all the time - I have it set to run automatically after a library update. I then select which items I want to use from the menu you're looking at - such as Poster and Fanart etc. I don't see a need for another option which does what's already available from the add-on. I've removed ClearArt and Logo from that menu in the next update, I've also re-read the Artwork Downloader skinning information to see if there's something I've missed - nope."

OK as a test I have enabled the option in the skin settings to update Artwork after a library update. I then removed the movie title "John Wick" from the library. I then went to that movies folder on the file server and deleted all the artwork files.

I then ran a library update in Helix / 1080XF. After the Universal Movie Scraper scan had completed nothing happened I could not see that Artwork Downloader was then running? No new artwork could be seen in the movies folder on the file server. Was it running in silent mode perhaps? I was expecting to see in the top right hand corner of Helix that Artwork Downloader was scanning. Checking the Artwork Downloader add-on settings, I do not have the option "Run in background" enabled.

Looking in New Movies I could see that "John Wick" had been added back in to the library OK and it had a poster and fanart that Universal Movie Scrapper had assigned. I double checked the setting update Artwork after a library update in the skin options and it was still enabled.

So I then removed the movie title again from the library and closed and reopened Helix and ran a video library update again. And the same thing happened which is nothing. Or nothing I can see happening on screen and no new artwork files are appearing for this "John Wick" title on the file server.

What mode of Artwork Downloader is this option in the skin settings meant to run? Full Auto mode (entire library) ? Or is it smart enough just to run against the newly added titles and only find artwork for those?

Artwork Downloader Full Auto mode is fine for smaller libraries but on large libraries its probably not the mode you want to be running on a regular basis.

I still say for full Artwork Downloader compatibility you need a menu option somewhere to be able to also run Artwork Downloader in Solo mode against individual titles. Pretty Please!

On that options menu you could change the existing "Update Art" option to "Update All Art" which is more descriptive of what it actually does and for Artwork Downloader Solo mode perhaps call it "Update Title Art".

If you jump to 2:25 on this Youtube video here you can see he selects to run Artwork Downloader Solo mode against an individual movie title, it then pops up at the top and says its downloaded 6 pieces of artwork for that particular title, these artwork files if set to do so are saved in the movies folder on the NAS / File server. There is also a report option you can select to see which artwork it actually grabbed.

Cheers
