All the images for the tiles, are the stock images of the addon.

Hi, that's strange as the images should be scaled/aligned perfectly on the tiles.
Is it possible for you to make a screenshot for me to look better what you mean ?

In TVGuide timeline view, when you go all the way to the left, you still cannot rech the menu! Works in Confluence...

Ok, I'll take a look and fix tomorrow. I had always thought that it would just go back in time on the timeline when you press left key

I've enabled
<epg>
<lingertime>60</lingertime> <!-- keep X minutes of past epg data (default: 24h) -->
</epg>
in the advancedsettings.xml, so you can see the problem immediately.

What do you mean with wrap around ? Make it infinite scroll through the items ?
Setting the default tile is something you can do with editing your homescreen tiles, just change the order of the tiles for this.

EDIT: Got what you mean with the wrapping. Changed it in the code, will provide new beta tomorrow

Thanks Marcel, yes infinite scroll is what I meant. Without infinite scroll you can determine the default tile, but only by putting it in position 3 and then you must have only two tiles to the left.

I have to say, your support for this skin is impressive!

That is just showing the top of that image.It's probably only showing about 1/3 of the NBC image.

Ah, now I know what you mean. You created a tile for a custom addon.
The only way to get a good/nice tile image is to set your own custom tile image, you can create one with a simple picture editor or just google for one.
The dimensions for the home tiles are 600x250 pixels but you can off course pick an image with other dimensions but with this aspect ratio.
Images are cropped and centered on the tile because stretching them (fit to fill the tile) will definitely not look good.

The reason that your image now looks bad is because the Original image (as added by the addon) was a square image that is now cropped to fit the tile.


RE: Titan MediaBrowser skin - rich110 - 2015-01-12

Hi. Just a quick question regarding the PVR TV Guide. Can anyone tell me what XML files I need to edit to add more lines to the EPG? I know the option to 8 lines to the EPG has been added (very nice) but I was hoping to add a couple more. I'm trying to achieve something that looks like the Aeon MQ5 EPG below:

Any tips on what XML elements to edit to achieve thinner rows would also be appreciated.

Thanks, Rich

Why edit the files yourself as I can add this option for you so others can benefit from this too ? [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Will take a look and make it available within the next few days.

Mate, I am more than happy for you to add this option for everyone. I just know from reading this forum regularly how busy you are with so many requests, and I didn't want to impose more work on you. But please go ahead, i'm sure you can do a much better job than me (in a fraction of the time). Looking forward to seeing the results.

Many thanks, Rich


RE: Titan MediaBrowser skin - hardtop - 2015-01-12

Hi guys! first of all thanks for this nice skin!$
I'm encountering issues with my setup. Sometimes the app crashes randomly, and upon restart I notice the Titan skin is gone (reverted back to the default confluence theme)

when I go the skin menu, Titan is gone. I have to redownload it. Happened twice already.

Any clues?

I'm running a Intel NUC (Celeron) with Windows 8.1 Pro x64 and Kodi (14.0)

On my server, I have my folder structure as such:

A)
- A League of Their Own (1992)
- A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
- ...
B)
- Bad Teacher (2011)
- Battle Los Angeles (2011)
- ...
etc)

I would like the Movies shortcut to go to this file structure (which I can currently do)...but I lose the random movie artwork tile / background (which I love)

I go into configure shortcuts and select the new tile and select configure widget and select the movies widget...

Shouldn't this give me back my random artwork on the home screen?

If it should, then this is not working... Sad

If it shouldn't and I am not understanding the widget function, then is it possible to do what I want?

Hey Marcell, can you comment on this?

Hi Rich, don't hecitate to give good feedback or feature requests. I find it fun to improve the skin together with users input.
It's impossible for me to see all glitches or think of all functionality so that's why I need the users in the community for.
I think together we can create nice things :-) I'm just the guy who types the skincode but in fact the skin is created by all here giving feedback, testing the bèta's, delivering graphics etc.

I will add the enhanced guide somewhere within the next few days, I'll keep you posted.

Thanks,

Marcel

This seems to be a generic kodi issue that occurs just randomly with only some users.
I've heard about it from time to time, for example in this forum thread:

Thanks Marcel, I'll try making my own icons. Did you see my other question I asked the other day, as far as the covers showing in every view, except the Showcase view? There are no covers showing at all, in the Showcase view.
