Post Install Instructions
To get all ratings and artwork to make the skin look the best, you will want to setup TMDB helper with your api keys and configure a few settings
-
Settings > Skin Settings > Miscellaneous > Check "Enable TMDBHelper service monitor"
-
Settings > Skin Settings > Api settings > "Configure TMDBHelper APIs"
- In TMDBHelper settings go to api keys, make sure you enter your OMDb API key, and your Fanart.tv client key. Also check all "use fanart.tv ...." options. Click OK to save.
- Install TMDBHelper players to allow play though other addons. Go back into TMDBHelper Settings > Players > update players from URL , Enter http://bit.ly/tmdbplayers. Click Yes to download players from URL. Click Yes to clear existing players first.
- I also suggest removing/blanking out the MPAA rating prefix under General > "MPAA rating prefix"
- For any addons you use , it's best if you also enter any Fanart/OMDb keys in its settings if the addon supports it. This will allow the addon to fetch meta info and artwork directly, instead of relying on the skin to try to do the lookup which is faster.
They will help with fully finishing the setup of the skin and with understanding what the settings actually do:
- Dependency Setup
- Home Style & Menu Style
- Skin Settings
- Menu & Widgets How To
- Movie & TV Hubs
- Home Spotlights
- Search Lists -How To
Understand after certain actions, Skin Shortcuts will have to rebuild your menu. Always let this complete!
