Hi @panni
I don’t know if this question has come up before. The OSD is taken from the addon.
I use the Arctic Zephyr Reloaded skin and would like to use the OSD.
Do you know how to change this?

is it possible to edit the home screen so I get the Movies as recently added first and the TV shows under it, now it’s showing TV first, to get the Movies first I need to remove TV but I want both visible, Thanks.
PM4K only supports Estuary or Plextuary, sorry.
Both currently not possible, sorry.
Edit: I have a good idea for how to restructure home to behave more like the official clients, though. Stay tuned.

thank you, yeah official clients always show movies first but as I said if it’s possible to rearrange even better, thanks again. 
Not really, at least for Plex web it depends on the pinning order of the libraries.
yeah sorry you’re right, I’ve always have movies first in the list. 
If you need someone to alpha test this hit me up

As I said, that’ll come later, after the autoupdater and Watchlist

Please add me to the list of people looking forward to an Official Plex Player looking screen/menu/theme.
OK, I don’t know how we’ve arrived there but I’ll put you on the list 
BTW: PM4K is based on something that looked like the official Plex players - in 1987 
(Nah, we’ve come far since the original Plex4Kodi, visually)
Edit: Hmm, it wasn’t that bad:
Visual changes were mostly outside of the Home view, though.

Overal UI is not far off from Plex clients, once Home Section is looked at dafter the watch list and auto updater. The only thing I think would be a nice change is a vertical side menu rather then the top row, then you pretty much match modern Plex clients I do also think a vertical menu would also put more of your content on the screen upon first load up

True. I’ve been thinking about a vertical side menu for ages. Had to put it down the list, though, as no one apart from me seems to tackle those things and I have limited time.
Once we have library and hub pinning, though, the move towards a Plex-style side-menu isn’t far off.

Thank you! 
Yeah a vertical side menu would be awesome.
Silly question: How do I make the wallpapers look less pixelated? 
Depends on the platform you’re using. It’s currently broken at least on Android(TV). Ref: [AndroidTV] fanartres/imageres ignored for images > 1080p · Issue #25788 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub
The feature is built in by now, into PM4K (addonSettings), and it’s at 100% by default (so 1080p by default, looking not that great at 4K). Works on Windows at least.
Edit: I forgot - in order to use this, you need to delete the Thumbnails folder, Textures13.db and add <fanartres>9999</fanartres><imageres>9999</imageres> (which is unlimited, so defined by what you have in Plex, or 2160, or 1440) to advancedsettings.xml after increasing the background image scaling in PM4Ks addonSettings to 400% for example, then restart Kodi.
I’m using an Nvidia Shield Pro. No clue how to do any of that 
The Wiki will help you with that. Sometime in the future 
Home · pannal/plex-for-kodi Wiki · GitHub
I’ve just set it up, the SHIELD will be my first real entry.
Edit: Editing your advancedsettings.xml should be easy, though. Access your SHIELD
Edit 2: As the SHIELD is AndroidTV, it still won’t work unless that bug is fixed

Hey! First of all thanks for this addon. So super clean, easy to install, and does what it is supposed to. Makes it easy as well to set up as a sort of ‘Kiosk’ app for my Pi and just load straight in on boot.
However I am running into some issues with HDR and bitstreamed audio that I’m hoping to get some pointers on. I’m currently running this on a Pi 4 running Librelec. I’ve used this setup in the past on older versions/older Plex addons but just rebuilt my SD card with the latest version and focused on this addon. It may not even be related to this addon but something Librelec/Kodi related. Haven’t tried playing something direct in Kodi yet to see what it does.
What I’m finding is it doesn’t seem to be sending through HDR properly. I get the classic muted colors with the TV registering as SDR. And for audio, it seems to really like decoding to PCM and not bistreaming anything.
Device wise I’m going through a slightly older 5.1.2 Onkyo receiver but it is capable of passing through 4k HDR content and has Dolby Atmos/TrueHD capability as well as DTS-HD (no DTS-X). TV is an older Sony Bravia that can only do up to HDR/HDR10 and no DV but I’ve made sure all my Plex content either has HDR/HDR10 or if DV it has that HDR fallback. Playing directly on the Plex app on the TV, HDR content shows fine. But it’s old enough that it just has ARC so limited to AC3/core DTS audio at best.
I’ve had this guide come up a number of times while researching this issue and have followed it exactly (specifically the AVR HDMI HD Audio column) but no dice: https://kodi.wiki/view/Audio_quickstart_guide
I can grab my settings/config files later on after work but wanted to get this off my head and into text as I’m thinking of it. 
This very likely has nothing to do with PM4K, as we just use the Kodi player with an overlay.
Maybe someone else can help you, this seems libreelec specific.
