Anyone here know of the Kaleidescape dvd player? - slippy - 2008-11-09 I really like this system but it can cost in the tens of thousands. What's awesome about xbmc with the different skins you can get the same interactive experience that the Kaleidescape dvd player offers and at a fraction of the cost. I would love a system that can play up to 1080p media and comes all included in one box with massive storage and using xbmc. All sitting under my TV. Is there anything like this you know of? I have seen that new drobo 4TB drive which is awesome but again it needs to be connected to a PC. I want something sleek that can be added to that and sit under the TV like Kaleidescape except at the fraction of the cost. You know of anything? Many thanks in advance P.S Would you say the best skin for xbmc is the Kaleidescape skin? - nu1mlock - 2008-11-09 Do I know of something that's small and has XBMC running? Yeah, an HTPC with a small case. I bet it's even better than the Kaleidescape DVD Player. RE: Kaleidescape skin & GUI replica/clone (some skinning engine enhancements needed too?) - buddyq - 2014-09-27 Hey everyone, I might be able to help here. My family has two Kaleidescape systems. So I can record how the menus work and upload them. It's a pretty slick system for sure. So basically, this is how it works (i'll record it to show you as well) but you move around the movie icons up, left, down, right and just wait for a second on a movie and it brings up the blue bar you see with the title and description. No button pressed so far, just a timing feature. Also, when that happens, an animation starts. It brings "like" movies around the movie you are hovered on. So if you were to stop on "Toy Story" it would bring other PG , "Family" movies around it. If you stop on "Taken", it then moves other "Thriller" type of movies around it by genre. Pretty cool! This would be amazing in XBMC. I would love to see it. There are other menu's of course for searching etc. but this is the main feature of it. RE: Kaleidescape skin & GUI replica/clone (some skinning engine enhancements needed too?) - fettsack_joe - 2018-08-23 push i was at a friend last week, and he owns a kaleidescape system. The Skin is awesome .. it´s just perfect, so i tried to use skins on my shieldtv with kodi 17.6, but i didn´t even come close. So therefore my question: are there any equal skins?? or skins, that go in that direction. greets RE: Kaleidescape skin & GUI replica/clone (some skinning engine enhancements needed too?) - axbmcuser - 2018-08-23 TBH, i don't really like the kaleidescape GUI for multiple reasons, but if you are looking for a similar clean modern fullscreen Wall View (3x9 and 2x7), have a look at this skin: Thread: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=242892 (ignore the screenshots - they are very old!) Download: https://github.com/axbmcuser/_repo/raw/master/repository.axbmcuser.zip If you don't use mouse controls, the fullscreen Wall View even looks better when you disable mouse controls in KODI settings. Then the buttons on the bottom right of the screen disappear. Give it a try! Feedback welcome. :-) RE: Kaleidescape skin & GUI replica/clone (some skinning engine enhancements needed too?) - manfeed - 2019-08-09 This is the closest I got to a Kaleidescape view in Kodi... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=338895&pid=2873767#pid2873767 RE: Kaleidescape skin & GUI replica/clone (some skinning engine enhancements needed too?) - axbmcuser - 2019-08-12 Great work. Must have been a hell of a skinning work for this one. ^^ RE: Kaleidescape skin & GUI replica/clone (some skinning engine enhancements needed too?) - axbmcuser - 2019-08-12 @manfeed Just wondering: Your showcase videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0brw15QBaVs have been done in 4K or similar and then been downsampled to 1080p, right? Or did you use some FXAA Post Process AA in your video editor? it's kind of irritating to see such a skin video without any of the typical general aliasing issues of the KODI GUI while using rotatey etc. RE: Kaleidescape skin & GUI replica/clone (some skinning engine enhancements needed too?) - manfeed - 2019-08-12 (2019-08-12, 18:18)axbmcuser Wrote: @manfeedNot sure what you mean... so I will explain how I record them... My screen resolution is 3840 x 2160 (4K), also in Kodi GUI (I'm in Windows 10, Core i7, Nvidia 960, 16 gb RAM). When I want to record a video, I use the Nvidia Geforce Experience software to record the screen, there I select 1920 x 1080 - 60 fps, then I open Kodi and use the keys shortcuts to manually start and stop the recording. After that I just upload the file to Youtube. |
