Salivating at these latest changes …I only wish with that that your favourite skin will change from AZR to something else…like AH2 
I just like more the way clear logos from titles show up in AH and the subtitles / audio tracks menus with more info on what they are and country flags…but ofc it’s just personal prefs.

The link to latest Arctic Zephyr - Reloaded is not working for me. 
Arctic Zephyr: Reloaded for CPM A9 build and up.
Can be installed over the current one, then reboot.
Changes from 15 → 16:
- Adding codec icons at the top right of the screen in PlayerProcessInfo and VideoOSD.
- More output in color space.
Screenshots:
Note:
If the codec icons are to be displayed at the beginning of the video, this must be done:
Settings -> Skin -> Video / Music OSD -> Show detailed info when video starts (in seconds)
The translation into your language can be done in
/Addons/skin.arctic.zephyr.mod/language/resource.language.XX_XX/strings.po
msgctxt #32000 - #32056
The msgstr "" entries must be translated, saved and then restarted.
Download:
Enjoy!

I on the contrary hope that not)) It’s one of the lightest and cleanest skins out there, though abandoned. Imho, only the Fuse 2 would be a good successor, though while having more things in some areas it lacks in others, even compared to the estuary (I can’t seem to even have a simple list view with details for Files view, just stupid tiles with no extra info…)
Yeah to each their own it’s about personal prefs at this point…I just like the on the fly menus for changing subs and audio tracks - with showing names on them without having to go to a separate menu in Kodi…and also love the clear logo for titles on video OSD …
What exactly are you missing here ? This is AH2 but all the AF1,2 are pretty the same skins
To be honest, AH2 is one of the fastest skins I’ve used so far.

hm… I might have missed the AH2 then, will try it )) AZ2 I didn’t like aesthetically compared to the original AZ. AF1-2 are a bit overly complicated for my use and lack some of the views, but I like the looks overall.
thank you thank you THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
fantastic also that you put in the link for the cpm build as well!! very helpful I would miss that otherwise.
happy weekend!!

btw, I’ve noticed that the default MC360 font from the AZR skin doesn’t have support for Cyrillic (and maybe some other char sets). I’ve found the ‘Convection’ font to be almost if not identical to MC360 and it has more coverage.
The description says the following:
Convection™ was designed by Steve Matteson exclusively for Microsoft for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system. Convection was created specifically to capture the brand personality, and is used in print and on screen in the user interface.
Might be useful for people who have issues with non-Latin based alphabets (at least to some degree). Howto for users: find, download, rename it to MC360 and replace it in the skin (a bit easier than changing Fonts.xml).

Hi jamal2367 , very beautiful, I like it a lot, thanks.
Just a little question: Returning to the main screen from Movies or TV Series is slow and produces a black screen for 5 or more seconds. Is there a way (parameter / setting) to avoid this?
@jamal2367
For the profile 5 colorspace, instead of ‘‘unknown’’ you could say ‘‘ICtCp’’
Hi, in your latest update (from a couple of minutes ago) I noticed a couple of seemingly mismatched German translations (If I understood correctly):
msgctxt "#31159"
msgid "Movies by"
msgstr "Ereignisse"
msgctxt "#31328"
msgid "Deeper shadows"
msgstr "Zuletzt hinzugefügt"
Or is this on purpose for some reason?

This is automatically output from Player.Process. I think that CPM has to do look about it.
