Easier access to the addon's settings #45

Closed pitsi closed 3 years ago

pitsi commented 3 years ago

Can you please add an extra entry in the main menu, under search, that leads to the settings of the addon?

The main reason behind this is simple: it makes it easier switch between the instances. The way it is now, I have to exit invidious, right click on it in the list of the video addons and select settings (or press i to get to the addon's info page, then settings).

The addon has not returned a single search result for me in the last 3+ days, regardless of what instance I select in there, so I assume it is an api issue and the addon is not to blame. I have the same behavior on straw-viewer as well.

I did not notice that because I am not using the default (ugly) skin. And since the one do I use (quartz) does not provide such an option (image below, menu comes up when I press left arrow), I am out of luck.

As for the search issues, although mine started way before yesterday, thank you for pointing that this is a generic issue of the invidious api.

all right I'll have a look at that, but don't hold your breath, I'm quite busy with rl work atm.

Should be implemented in c1d5a90d2d03b95c917ae5bde65b6e85594d1d99, mind testing?

It'll be included in 0.2.7 (whenever that is out).

Sure. How can I test it? I thought of git clone blablabla, but libreelec comes without git installed.

This should work (?):
