Good morning:
I am new to XBMC, began using Kodi 14 Alpha 2 with the MQ5 skin.
So far I am really enjoying it (coming from Mediaportal / MP2)
the one thing I did notice though, is when looking at a tv series, and all the seasons, they all have the same year (seems to be the same one as season 1)
IE - Game of thrones season 1 - 2011
Game of thrones season 2 - 2011
Game of thrones season 3 - 2011
Game of thrones season 4 - 2011
but when you enter a specific season menu, the year shows correctly
GoT 1 - 2011
GoT 2 - 2012
GoT 3 - 2013
GoT 4 - 2014
Any way to get this fixed? or have it fixed in MQ6
thanks

MQ5 isn't compatible with Helix. Only Gotham.
Out of interest, are you using the XBMC/Kodi library, or an addon?

it may not be compatible, but everything is working but that...
hrmmmmm, could you maybe suggest a 14 Helix compatible skin? other than confluence?
I am just using the standard library to my knowledge. imported and what not

I think the more you use it, the more you will find doesn't work.
The EPG for example.
I think only Confluence is compatible atm. Could be wrong though.

I just tried transparency, not a huge fan of it.
it's almost too simple, and I like the recently added as a cover art icon

Do you need to be running Helix?
Will Gotham not suffice?

I guess I don't, I was looking for a client server architecture though, and was hoping it was a little nicer in Helix.
I guess this is something they are still working on, with the uPnP libraries actually showing up on the main screen as movies and tvshows, rather than having to file browse through the upnp share.
I am coming from Mediaportal, and both handle what I need pretty well.
MP2 has a nice working client/server working now, but I do not like that it is only windows based, as I am planning on getting an andriod net top for my living room (100$ is much less than a $300 zotac box for windows)

I see. Well as Helix is in it's infancy, and Gotham has not long been released, you will find that most of the addons/skins aren't made compatible for a while yet.
