As per title, is there a way you can add the option for the user to manually input the view id number?

Reason, I use a skin that has fixed views and doesn't allow me to cycle view types, it's all set via expressions and visibility conditions in the skin. However this is problematic as your app after a fresh install forces the wrong view type for season and episode views for my skin and I'm unable to cycle to the correct view type when setting views.

In Fen I was able to edit the skin settings file manually to overcome this but for fenlight I've had to temporarily create a keyboard shortcut in kodi to force select next viewtype to set the correct view in fenlight settings.

Not a major issue for me as I know what I'm doing, but Would be nice if I could just type view 58 instead of default 50 for arguments sake.

What skin??

You can turn off Fen Light setting views. So as to allow the skin to control it instead.

Somewhere in the Content tab of the settings.

If you do that before entering a container for media it should allow the skin to do what it wants.

I have modified the Pellucid skin to support PAL 720x576 resolution. It's taken me around 6months on and off and still ongoing as it's a big task as all windows/dialogs etc. need rework.

I have turned off that setting and fen still defaults to list view for me. But I have no doubt it is just the code in my skin and some clash with conditional visibility settings causing it.

Not an issue if you don't want to implement this, just thought I would ask.

Done for next update. Toggle "Manually Enter Viewtype Values" in Settings->Content->General. Appears so long as you have "Control Viewtypes Within Addon" enabled.
