Skin Estuary MOD V2 for KODI 19 Matrix KN Edition

Installation Notes

It's strongly recommended to install the skin via the "Kodinerds Repo", as this is the only way to guarantee that additional required modules (e.g. the PVR Artwork Module) are also installed. Another advantage is that you get automatic updates when you install an addon from a repository and not from ZIP.

To install the Kodinerds repository visit the page "https://repo.kodinerds.net", download the repository zip (red button) and install it. After that you can install the skin directly from the repository under "Look & Feel", "Skins".

File name flagging

If you want to use special flags like HDR or Dolby Vision or special 3D formats you have to name your files with proper tags, preferably before the file extension:

| 3D with

stereoscopic detection	MVC codec	Side by Side	Top and Bottom	HDR+ Files
no tagging	3d.mvc	3d.sbs	3d.tab	hdrplus., .12bit.

The HDR type recognition by filename for HDR/HLG/Dolby Vision has been removed.

Animated Artwork

As the setup of animated artwork was done by skinhelper addon (which was removed from skin) the skin itself has now taken the management of those artwork. Animated artwork has some limitations (see Kodi Wiki: https://kodi.wiki/view/Artwork_types#Animated_Artwork). To get this feature work properly, you have to assign a folder within the skin settings, which contains all the artwork. This folder must be a folder of your local filesystem. Also you can use network share, which must be mounted to a local mountpoint. Put all your artwork into this folder. Subfolders are allowed (without nesting).

If you navigate in your movie library, you'll have a new entry now to (re)assign animated Artwork in the context menu. The skin supports animated poster only.
