On Openvix 4.1 using ViX Night HD or OpenViX Blue HD:

From the attached image you can see that media player doesn't match the Skin installed. And the total length of the movie is truncated, leaving part of the 2 shaved off to the left and the last number missing completely.

I have tried changing the Openvix Skin, but this hasn't helped.

Is there any fix for this? Would installing Mediaplayer2 help?

i think this is skinned in kodi itself
an issue with the code in kodi.

Not too sure about that, it doesn't look at all like the Kodi media player. When I am playing a video through Kodi, and I press the menu button on the remote control, I get up the OpenVIX menu. And I have read on vuplus-community that you can change the default player to mediaplayer2 which is an enigma2 plugin.

Rossi, do you think it would be possible to call the openvix skin for the media player from within Kodi? Or is it crappy one hard coded?

I'm going to check out a few more images to see how Kodi media player looks. I'll check out black hole, openatv and the vuplus default one. Should I try any others?

This is from Black Hole. Nothing come up when you press the OK button, but if you pick left or right you get this screen.

This is from OpenATV, when you press OK this comes up. It looks good to me.

Openatv is just metro isn't it? So should it not be the same in vix?

Mine looked the same on openvix, I then downloaded mediaplayer from the plugins, and now it is skinned like it should be using the slyk skin

Do you know the name of the mediaplayer or was it just called mediaplayer?

Is it not possible to use the normal kodi media player on an enigma device?
