I think that the whole reason of this confusion stems from the test videos, that have different footage shown within the FEL.
From my understanding FEL in real world use cases never has such footage, but rather some missing details or colors
No Problem, sorry! Gemini is watching and tell me about your thinking.
Is it possible with the UI templating discussed early to change the shape of the movie posters? This is something I had been meaning to poke at over my upcoming holiday break. Not that I want whatever abomination that is the new Plex UI experience I thought some lightly rounded edges would give it bit more of a modern UI polish. Plex web and Infuse both use this style.
Yeah thatās the main reason I keep giving CPM/avdvplus builds a go, letās you use player-led DV on HDR10 displays just like using an HDfury without the complications of extra hardware.

I went ahead and did a larger poster size version as well. I quite like how it turned out. If anyone else wants to use them here are the templates you can drop in. If you see any issues let me know. They havenāt been extensively tested, but nothing I changed is too wild.

Thatās pretty cool. Maybe Panni can integrate that into an option when heās done with a million other things.
The only thing disturbing is that you have the movie āBarbieā

Probably, havenāt looked at his final templates yet. Thereās a lot we could do, though, and I hope heāll double down on this, such as the russian who built new views at a time where we didnāt have the templating engine, yet:

I was looking forward to this theme, it looked great!
I found an issue on CE with the plextuary skin.
On my CE device (Vim3 and Vim4), the fix of the initial seek back and start playback is needed; however, this only works with the default Kodi skin. With the plextuary skin, it only works in some rare cases.
(The issue of needing that a seek backwards - is only happening with Bifrost/G52 Mali hardwareā¦ my x96 10pro with Valhall/G57 does not exhibit such a problemā¦ => NO: VIM3 - playback does not start - General - CoreELEC Forums)

Hi all,
Getting errors in kodi.log. Tried to upload with the Uploader but got this error:
Hence I have attached the log in zip format.
Any ideas of what might be causing the errors at 5:00am would be appreciated.
TIA

Server crapped itself. PM4K Log Uploader should work again!
Yep you got connection issues at 5am:

Does Plextuary CPM pose the same issue? Could you try?
Morning panni, found a minor āinfo screen Dynamic Background Art (DBA)ā bug using beta 1.1.4 (and it also exists in final 1.0.5e/f). Basically the bug is that when DBA is disabled (just using a black screen like in the first pic below) the ābackgroundā shows the poster from whatever is first on the Continue Watching list even if that is not the show/movie that you selected the info for.
Steps to reproduce :
-
Turn off DBA in add-on settings (I like the plain dark background)
-
Play whatever in your library for a few seconds which jumps it to first on your Continue Watching (as it should)
-
Now go to any other title in your library and just click the Info button and instead of seeing the info for that title with a black background (pic 1), you will see the background poster screen for that title that is first in your Continue Watching list that you just played a few seconds of (pic 2).
Note : When you first turn off DBA in add-on settings, it works fine (Pic 1). Itās watching any show/movie for a few secs which jumps that title to first in your Continue Watching is what triggers the bug (Pic 2).
Pic 1 : How it should look when you turn off DBA without having played any file. In this case The Lowdown S01E03 with blurred spoilers and plain black background
Pic 2 : After randomly selecting/playing the movie Companion (enjoyable movie 
) for a few secs, that jumped it to first in the Continue Watching list. But now when we select the info for that same The Lowdown file it now shows the poster art for Companion (forgetting to just show the plain black background). Selecting any other file anywhere in my library and clicking info will always show that Companion poster art until I play a different random item which then jumps that one to first superceding Companion. But now that new itemās poster art will always show (still forgetting to show plain black background). Thanks panni
