Nice job , I see you have trimmed down the movies genres list. Where do you find the list of "genres , I have been wanting to do that ?

Thanks , I have copied that , however , my question was about , the amount of genre items that I see when I click on the genre icon category widget .
The default genre list in kodi contains around 32 items , your list has 12. Where do I find the default list so that I can "cull" my list as well please ?

Hmm... My Kodi setup does not like the jade skin. Installed it, enabled Embuary, and it now crashes Kodi every time halfway during the home screen buildup. :-|
I know it's Alpha software, but the previous version didn't freeze & crash. @the_other_guy What info do you need?

Sounds to me like a problem with python pillow package. Do you have it installed on your system? Check in your log file if you don't see any PIL errors.

No idea at this time. I'm running Ubuntu 21.10 on a J5005 Pentium Silver box (Intel UHD605), which has Python 3.9.7 installed.

Not really. I do see a boatload of these errors in the crashlog though:

Oh sorry then. I struggled with PIL error before on my Linux machine so I expected to see it also here Wink

Looking at this warnings it's really looks like an skin issue.

#edit
Hmm.. but if it should crash kodi? I have some invalid includes also in Cosmic but it totally not crashing kodi Tongue

the_other_guy · 2021-12-29, 02:49

the error was i forgot to change Visible_Right_Delayed_Home to Visible_Right_Delayed

new link http://www.freespace.com.au/filehosting/418761 has 2 skins kodi 19 and kodi 20 you need to unzip before installing by zip

Well, that's much better. And now with added backgrounds...

I now have two empty main menu items, Music videos and Games, and with both of them, the Remove this main menu item button on the main screen does not work. The browser button for those does work.

Yep. already did that Smile

Tested the newest release on a Ubuntu 20.04 laptop and it all worked.
On my 21.10 office pc with also Kodi 19.3, the skin still freezes and ultimately lets Kodi crash. Here are the last couple of log lines:

You think Python 3.9 could be a problem?
