A new TinyPPI update is now available for download from the repository.

TinyPPI 1.6.6 - Changelog

:artist_palette: Theming & Appearance

  • FEL/MEL enhancement-layer tags and the conversion icons now have configurable colors — set your own via the theme settings.
  • Added individual opacity sliders for every theme element (title, filename, header, icon, description, output, FPS, progress, accent, unit, line, dialog focus, and more).
  • Added width limits to label controls to prevent text overflow.
  • Fixed a color reference in the Dolby Vision section header.

:high_voltage: Performance

  • The Dolby Vision tunnel / VS10 mode is now cached and only re-read when the pixel format actually changes.
  • CPU usage is now taken from Kodi’s own infolabel, removing the last per-cycle system read and making the value available immediately.
  • The background service now uses a blocking wait instead of a 1-second polling loop.

:bug: Fixes

  • Fixed queue-level handling to always use floats (Python 3.12 compatibility).
  • Fixed a double space in the L6 unit suffix when no unit color is set.

:wrench: Under the Hood

  • Large code cleanup and deduplication pass with no functional changes.
  • Removed several unused properties and strings that were no longer referenced by the skin.

Does implementing to show the Dolby Vision/Atmos, DTS, and/or HDR10+ icons violate some copyright/trademark? Would be really great to see that

46

There are no Dolby/DTS icons in this add-on. The icons are included in @Frodo19’s fork, but not in mine.

47

Is it a planned feature in your addon? To avoid any legal issues it would even be acceptable to let us load our own icon assets for each audio format and HDR format

48

No, it’s not planned, and it won’t happen for now.
