[Issue] Unsupported media views for anime add-on Otaku about skin.nimbus

[ivarbrandt]

Awesome! You're welcome. Glad I could help.

Alright I fixed all the landscape artwork and gave the posters and menus a clean up.

If for some reason any item falls back to that layout with the text, it's cause there isn't any art available. I also recommend using anything but Flix for episodes. Even then, it won't look as bad as it did before.

Changes will be up later tonight or tomorrow.

Please, and thank you! I've tried even reinstalling the addon hoping it was glitched or something and the media views still look the same only when viewing Episodes.

Nah it's def Nimbus. I have it too restrictive on what artwork it allows. I'm in the process of fixing it.

0.1.14 is up.

0.1.14 is up.

Yup! I just installed and checked it out. Now it displays episode artwork as the other add-ons. You're the man! Thanks a lot for the quick fix. 😃❤️

@Goldenfreddy0703 just a heads up, the developer released a new update for the skin fixing the artwork issues, now Otaku works perfectly with Nimbus!

I'll be closing this issue now, as it's fully resolved. 👍

@Goldenfreddy0703 Hey, sorry to bother. I was just tagging you in hopes that you can also read out this issue with Otaku and the skin Nimbus, I already mentioned within the description that I was going to tag you in. Because, i'm unsure if the issue related to the skin developer or otaku's developer in relation for a solution/fix. So, if this is fixable by you let me know and I can close this issue here or if this is related to the skin developer i'll leave it open so it can be resolved from his side.

Hey so I was actually unsure as well, on fentastic, many users had problems with utilizing widgets with Otaku if I recall and there widgets were square and not poster or landscape for some odd reason so this might have something todo with nimbus sense it was made by same developer but I'm not too sure yet, if anybody could test Seren and see if it's happening there, that would be great so we know that it could be mainly an Otaku issue. I have not had any issues from any other skin except with Fentastic in the past.

It definitely looks like its on my end but I can't tell because the artwork is different in most of your screenshots.

In the first screenshot you're using poster items and comparing them to landscape items. Use WallScape for both then let's see a screenshot.

The second pair of screenshots is what Nimbus displays when it doesn't have the main artwork it needs for that view so that's what it falls back to.

I'll download Otaku and take a look though. Cause that does look bad lol.

Edit: the screenshots are different because the otaku addon doesn't gather it's metadata from TMDb. I believe it's from AniList, etc. I believe the developer said he was hoping to change the api to gather info from TVDb in the near future. Still, I don't the current artwork are the issue since the addon works well with every other skin I've tried and their available media views.

The developer of the skin is going to download the addon and double check if he can replicate the issue in hopes for a fix. I'll keep you posted or if you can manually check back on this issue to see if it has been resolved or it might need your assistance. 👍

Oh, great! 😃🙏

@Goldenfreddy0703 so the developer of the skin will be fixing the issue. Thanks again, for checking the issue when I tagged you. ❤️
