Hi is tears any chance to change the view for certain directories in the addons? One of the addon I'm using changed the view from list to poster(?) and I can't find the way to change it back.

I'd be glad to make it happen .. its just I'm a bit new to kodi skins. i have a fair grasp on coding and i do understand the basics .. be glad if someone couls point me in a general direction to add an option switching view types.. i have tried just adding a button for Container.NextViewMode but this did not work

The views in Pellucid are hard coded, so that approach won't work.

If you can let me know which add-ons are misbehaving I will look into it and suggest the best way forward.

Covenant is misbehaving. Its tv shows and moview are okay .. But the seasons and episods are displayed using a list which is boring.. The poster rail for seasons is much better .. And episodes should be using the episodes view..

I saw the expression hardcoding the visible tag of each view ..

The expresions are in includes.xml . i juat dont have enugth knowladge to fix them

Yes, you're looking in the right places.

However, you're opening Pandora's box. I have discussed this at length on the forums so won't repeat here, but - in short - add-ons are bandit country. There is no quality control, so it's a total mess.

Allowing poster view for movies and TV shows is pushing it as it is. For all else, the list view is the only safe option. Sorry - Kodi is built for local content, so local content will always deliver a better user experience.

Finally, covenant is obviously illegal, so for the sake of Kodi in general, i'm very reluctant to support it!

Anyway to change the default view to list view?

My CrunchyRoll (legal by the way!) addon is not really usable like this. Can share (publicly) the source of that plugin as it is beta and not yet publicly available. (a payed subscription is needed to test it) Could u point me in the right direction?
