V3.0.13 in my git:
https://github.com/learningit/plugin.vid...3.0.13.zip

This version has all the functionality I'm going to provide (except add/delete video to/from playlist which will be in the kodi.org release).
I will be rewriting and cleaning up the code and hope to get a version to the kodi.org repo in a week or two.

 Hello learningit

1. Can you add "Featured playlists" to the vevo menu?
2. Can you check my log on why it does not work in VEVO / GENRES / ROCK ??  http://pasted.co/4a1ba546
3. Currently, when we enter trending now and Recently added, we see the title of the song, but we do not know who the artist is? Are you able to add the best in all options so that you can see the song artist and the title? My opinion will look good.
4. I still have one problem. I often have a problem with VEVO sound reproduction. It is often the case that some music video is silent (no synchronization with my receiver). When I turn it off and on again it works. What's the problem?

Except "Favorite Artists", which raises an exception, all is working fine here.
Debug log: https://pastebin.com//jHLF0PpH
Should "Favorite Artists" work or, as I suspect, it simply isn't implemented for now?

The artist is atleast displayed in the plot. Yes, as always, there's room for improvement ;-)

1) No. The playlist formats vary from one locale to another and change constantly which just breaks the add-on.
2) No idea. I do not see the getRequest for the base genre page so I have no idea what's going on. There's a ton of other stuff in there so maybe it's buried somewhere but I don't see it.
3) Most skins don't handle mediatype = 'musicvideo' very well, if at all. On the default Estuary skin you can see the title and artist in the "plot" or "description" field. If you right click, then click on the "information" context menu item you can see that both the artist and title are being set by the add-on.
4) No idea, but not a function of the add-on itself. It has to do with how core Kodi is configured.

 Favorite Artists needs a bit more error checking. The "Favorite Artists" selection requires the music library to be setup.
What it does is goes and gets all the artists in your music library and then displays all the Vevo music videos for those artists.
My guess is you have an empty music library which causes an error currently.

Ah OK, now I understand the error log a bit more, wondered a little why there is an sql statement in there.
I thought it lists my favorited artists from the vevo webpage, like "My Playlists": At the profile overview page on the vevo website it's also called "Favorite Artists".
I don't have a music library, only a musicvideo library -- and most of the artists in there aren't available on vevo anyway ;-)

1. It is a pity that you will not add "Featured playlists".
2. Can I somehow help in finding a problem with "getRequest". Disable or enable something to make it easier to read?
3. I will check how I will be at home as it looks on the default skin.
4. I thought that this is related to the addition of VEVO because only in such a problem is. All applications work well.

I do not know the logs, but this is the problem with genres / rock

Can you fix it somehow?

[TheGame1986]

@learningit, firstly, thank you for this add-on. I'm not sure if you're aware, but when creating .strm files there seems to be some encoding issues. For example, if you add "Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger then it adds it as "Oasis - Don’t Look Back In Anger". This causes it not to scan into the library. Is it possible to fix this?

[learningit]

Yup. I have a bunch of cleanup items before I update the kodi.org repo version and this is on the list. Thanks

[TheGame1986]

No problem, I didn't want to assume you knew about it, in case you didn't. Thanks for the reply.

Hello learningit

I think they started to change something again on the VEVO website. Earlier, I wrote to you that GENRES / ROCK does not work for me. GENRES / POP has now stopped working.
This is my log. At the end of the logo you can see the problems.

As I've explained previously, I'm not in a position to help you with these issues. There is obviously a different page format on your local version of Vevo.
In addition, the PM you sent me about artists is incorrect. Both the content type and the mediatype are being set correctly by the add-on and work with the default skins. A quick read of the getAddonEpisodes and getAddonMovies code will confirm that.

[learningit]

So I'm about done cleaning up the add-on to submit to the Krypton repo.
Other than the local Polish website issues and the .strm filenaming issue, does anyone have any problems to report with version 3.0.13?
