5. It would be nice if you could get the poster view back in Movies and Series
I'd like this back too. I might actually go back to the old skin if it's not coming back. It's way quicker to scroll through when you have lots of series and seasons by thumbnail vs. a text list that's one item per row.

First, a nice update
Now a few points on my part.
1. The language is here and there in English and not in German (Example: Movies - In Progress Movies = Begonnene Filme / Sidebar - Recently added = Kürzlich hinzugefügt)
2. Unfortunately, you can not add your own background (why?)
3. Long press the OK button with the TV does not lead to any function
4. I would gladly display the info of the TV channel by pressing the OK button (example: resolution, sound format, what is running etc. as it was with the MrMC skin)
5. It would be nice if you could get the poster view back in Movies and Series
1. we will look into setting up a translation service
2. will look into that
3. explain more please, where are you long pressing? on home screen?
4. we aimed at very simple OSD, no overcrowding with information.
5. as above, very simple skin as default for first time users to easily setup. too many options and all hell breaks loose
1. okay
2. okay
3. If I look at any tv program, I could previously for long press the OK button to show the channel list. Now this is no function.
4. Otherwise it can be switched on and off. As one or the other likes
5. for the first Time

Put me down as a vote for it. I'd go back to Amber without it.

Poster grids would keep me at opacity. Without it I'm with timstephens54.

I like it for Movies, TV Shows and TV Seasons, but for TV episodes the list view is fine.

You're missing out:
-Faster to go through than list to get to the movie/show you want. Especially helpful in a larger library.
-Quicker recognition of movie since your brain equates a picture faster than reading.
-Less information about each specific video but still there in the 'information' view for just the one you want to see
-Downside if using Plex/Emby as a library since the posters take too long to load since they're not saved like if you have a local library.

2 finger swipe to the left has always been "back", since 2010(?) when we made ios version of xbmc
A button would be awesome because gestures are great and all but meh.
Updated to the newest 3.1.0 TestFlight on my iPad Pro 10.5 and this doesn't work. I still get stuck in 'Show Information' and can't get back. A button is still very much preferable.
