Feature description

Hello Jurial. We are reaching a level of quality such that the suggestions for improvements are detailed. However, I think it's these details that will make Fuse perfect. So I wonder one of them. I find that the release information is very relevant for the series. Because this adds additional information, such as the upcoming release, the end of the season date, etc. However I wonder if it is for films? Because it seems redundant with the release year already above. So I wonder if it wouldn't be relevant to be able to display release date information only for series?

Why is this feature needed? Please justify and explain.

This would allow more ratings to be displayed for films, and to retain additional release information for series.

Thanks 🙏

This one touches directly on an issue I have as well: If I disable premiere/status information I get more ratings (which I want), but then cannot see the specific date that a movie was released at all (unless it is somewhere in the information screen that I am missing) and of course returning/cancelled/finished status for shows. I understand this is done for standardization, similar to how I have to pick genre or ends-at for the infoline (at least genre shows in landscape widgets and information screen).

With regards to this issue raised by @Bindou01, a possible solution may be to expand the year in the infoline to a full date (and that could be the released date for movies and the premiered date for shows; or still premier/status as before, just moved to infoline) and then that leaves space for more ratings and reduces repeated information, at the cost of release year, which will still be visible for the most part. Just a suggestion, I imagine the icon in premier/status may be hard to move to the infoline.

On AH2 it seemed like this issue was resolved. I am one of those people who turned on full info for everything (fullscreen widgets with full ratings and full footers for both homescreen and library) to guarantee user friendliness but I do understand this skin is structured differently and we can't have all the info displayed at once.
