2 years ago Thanks for your input. I edited your post a bit, numbering your multiple queries so that I can more easily address them.
- This add-on doesn't interact directly with any of the supported streaming services. It does interact with JustWatch, specifically through an unofficial API I've found for it, and through it's collaboration with TMDb. Unfortunately none of these paths offer any kind of personalised data (as user's watch states) whatsoever. The add-on uses Trakt for a more broad way to set/get watched states.
- That's really a skin matter. Once you've found your preferred skin and view type of it, you should go to Whitelodge/Tools/Viewtypes and save that view for each content type, so that it sticks for every menu of the add-on. For the "categories vertically with preview pictures" it's not possible within the add-on's menus, I think you should use a skin with widgets support.
- I'll look into implementing a preferred service system (if more than 1 enabled) but I don't think there's a way for me to know which has the best stream - let alone audio tracks, subtitles etc.
- You mean through the add-on's Search menu? Yea that's not limiting results based on enabled services, it's a broad search on TMDb's database. I'm working on a solution that will filter the search results based on user's enabled services though. Also, there are cases where despite being on a specific services menu, some items might not have streams available as well. The JustWatch database unfortunately isn't perfect - it has shows missing from services, or others that are not still available on a service.
