Feature Request - Ability to change ScrollSpeed #179

Open h1pchek opened 1 year ago

h1pchek commented 1 year ago

I was wondering if perhaps it would be a quick and easy feature to add the ability for the user to change the scrollspeed in the skin setup/config?

In certain views, the list of items' titles/descriptions/paths can be longer/wider than the user's screen and so an automatic horizontal scrolling is used once the user navigates vertically to a specific item and kodi will begin to slowly scroll horizontally to display the entire description of an item in the list. While in systems like Linux and Windows i can easy manage this change myself, in newer Google TV and Android OS the ability for the user to manually edit this section is much more difficult due to newer security policies and restrictions. Would it be an easy fix for you to change this value to a variable so that the user can choose/set a custom value from in the skin's setup/config?

I noticed in my windows machine i can locate this scrollspeed and get it scroll more quickly for me if i modify this file here: C:\Users\[User name]\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\skin.aeon.nox.silvo\16x9\defaults.xml

I then find this section:

<default type="label">
...
    <scrollspeed>30</scrollspeed>

and change it to something perhaps like:

<default type="label">
...
    <scrollspeed>$VAR[ScrollSpeedLabel]</scrollspeed>

In the skin setup/config section, add a progress slider ranging from say 10-150 or so? i changed mine to 80 and thought that was a pretty decent speed, increments of 10 seemed sufficient.

Anyways, just a thought. Great skin! Really love all the work you do!

Hey @h1pchek, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

Yes, lol, it's a nightmarish-slow waiting to read the end of a title like: "some.long.Independence.episode.S01E12.Come.siamo.arrivati.qui.ITA.ENG.2160p.AMZN.WEB-DL.x265.DDP 7.1.HEVC.10bit.mkv"

@SubEdict Glad it could help! Just be aware that any auto updates that are published for this addon will override your changes as we’ve modified the addon itself and so you will have to reapply your modifications - becomes a game of whack-a-mole every few months as new updates and versions naturally roll out.
