I'm afraid not. The skin was deliberately designed to handle view layouts automatically (especially important for video addons etc). To allow a user to set view layouts themselves would involve a significant reworking of the skin.
OK lets go and do it :-)
i am very funny today because its close to weekend :-) sure I had suspected
to change the view for a specific addon (Youtube videos - http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=200391) - easy or difficult to change layout from list to grid?
Difficult. Note that a lot of these addons don't follow the same coding conventions, so i'd end up having to 'skin' each one. A recipe for pain if ever I saw one.
However, I'll make a note to see if I can't make the current list view better for music addons (longer titles, include thumbnails etc).
Poor boy ;-) take a fresh beer for the pain - does help! ... to finish this - I get more and more to the cognitive - that in the case of my "Crossbox" project - for the "normal user" it will be better to install pre-selected addons and adjusts the skin on this. by the way - I am missing just also generally a music-video hub in all the skins ...
Ha - beer always helps!
I understand where you are coming from. Perhaps if you let me know which addons you intend to preinstall, I can try to ensure that they are well supported. If some addons work better with a grid view, I can see what I can do to support it.
About music videos... This is not something I use much, so let me take a look at how they are handled.
Oh - good news. Let me prepare a overview so you dont need to fizzle around with that. Send this soon!
regarding Musicvideos i see a difference between:
1.) Musicvideos (now mainly from the new Youtube Video Addon :-) who is sooo nice !!! I think ill make this addon as main section (music Video hub) on crossbox. Try out first Spotify Playlists :-) youll be surprised - promised.
and 2: Live Concerts (who can be from from youtube via Youtube Addon or local Library (ripped or recorded via PVR)
hm much to discuss and i DONT wanna kill you with all my suggestions! Other Q. interested to join crossbox ... proceed with PM (mail please) and close this here??
dear chris,
parts of the skin displays content in "list view" and other parts in "thumb view" . is there any chance to add a "select view" to let the user select the layout?
