Dolby Vision Profile, VS10, plus other info on skins

Hello jamal2367. Thank you for your work on that skin, but I’ve found some issues that I’d like to point out to prevent them from becoming more significant. The edits made in the file DialogSelect.xml from version 17 are causing errors, which I’ve attached as images. You can test this, for instance, on widget customization for the home screen, etc. This error also appears in add-ons that use this XML file to display certain information. When I replaced DialogSelect.xml with the version from 16, everything worked as it did before.

Additionally, I’d like to mention that the font you’re using for Player Process Info was added only in the Default font set. Users who use font other than the default one in the skin are experiencing issues with how text is displayed in the Player Process Info. They may, for example, not be able to see whether VS10 is enabled or disabled, as the red and green dots in the ArialUni font aren’t available in other font sets. If you add the two fonts that you included in the Default font set to the other font sets in Font.xml , it will fix this issue.

I hadn’t planned to write this, as I can make these changes for myself, but seeing that nobody has noticed or pointed this out yet, I thought it would be a shame if other users couldn’t fully enjoy your work as you intended. Thanks again for your work, and I look forward to future versions.

Did you have tried Release 17.2?
This fault is happened with 17.1
Make sure you have install the latest 17.2


I’ll check the font.xml later to make sure it’s available everywhere.

I’m sorry, my mistake. I had version 17.1. After installing version 17.2, DialogSelect.xml works correctly. Thank you. I’m looking forward to further updates and improvements. :slight_smile:

The change of the SelectDialog.xml was made because of the version selection e.g. for the Emby Next Gen or other Addons.

You can see it very clearly here (Release 17.2):


With Release 16 it’s looks. :nauseated_face::face_vomiting:

I understand. I saw those tags in the XML that are supposed to display this information, but I didn’t have a chance to see them while using it. It definitely looks great, and I’m glad for this update. :+1:

A bit off topic, but are you guys using pkc and direct paths getting the version section. I am no longer able to get a selection screen.

Works fine here with Composite (Plex)

Added for future Release 17.3.
Cyrillic is now supported.
Btw: It’s identical.


Is fixed too.

thx. yeap, also seemed identical to me (MC360 might have been just a stripped-down or early version of Convection font for all we know…). Been using it for a while now (along with removing 30mb of extra unused fonts) and didn’t notice any difference. One thing less to customize after skin update. One thing I also always do that you might want to consider (or not) is replacing “|” separator with [COLOR dimgrey]|[/COLOR] for better readability (still there and doing it’s job, but now is not in the way of the values).

Added but i use:
[COLOR ProcessHeaderTitle]|[/COLOR]


I have found two font that is not used in the Font.xml and that is InterCJKSC-Medium.ttf and NotoSans-Regular.ttf.
All other fonts are used. Searched with the tool grepWin.

Removed, that saved me 13.0 MB

I usually remove all InterCJKSC (and the relevant fontset in Fonts.xml) as I don’t use it at all, that’s where my 30+mb cleanup comes from). But probably someone might still use it.

Arctic Zephyr: Reloaded for CPM A9 build and up.

Can be installed over the current one, then reboot.


Changes from 17.2 → 18.0:

  • All existing font issues fixed.
  • The skin can now display Cyrillic characters correctly.
  • Unused fonts have been removed.
  • The separator lines in the PlayerProcessInfo now have a different color for better visibility.
  • Added background layer for codec logos in PlayerProcessInfo for better visibility.
  • Added background layer for codec logos in Video OSD for better visibility.
  • Now use the correct name for the conversion from SDR and HDR to DV.
  • Some alignments in the PlayerProcessInfo have been adapted.

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.

I love this skin and if it was more stable with things like critics reviews showing up then I would be using it. But it isn’t so please someone do this CPM update for Aeon Nox Silvo skin.

Hey, you’re reading my mind! I was actually thinking of suggesting that it would be great if those logos in the top right corner had some kind of background for better readability. And now I see you’ve already added it. It looks fantastic! I can’t wait to get home from work and try it out. Thank you!

That really makes a big difference.
It already looks good in the screenshots, but it looks even better in action. :smiling_face:

The PlayerProcessInfo screen looks amazing.

Is there any chance you could apply the same changes to the Arctic Zephyr 2 : Resurrection skin?

Sorry, unfortunately I don’t have time for two skins at the same time and I personally only use the AZR skin. There’s no point in putting my energy into it.
I also only do the whole thing when I have some free time.

Maybe there is someone here who could do this. :smiling_face:

Which value miss you in this resurrection mod?

I translated it into Chinese and it shows like this. What should I do?

Set your Fontset to CJK - Spoqa + Inter or try other.
Will this help?

Otherwise leave the PlayerProcessInfo in English.
