That is for now..see is this working for you.
After todays update, the TV Channels PVR widget no longer works.
Does not display anything.
Is there a way to download the wiki offline as I don't always have net while I am skinning? Thanks for all your great work can't wait to try it out.
check the readme.md in the addons folder, just use notepadd++ or something to open it.

This ReadMe.md just tells me to go to the online wiki.

Are you talking about the latest?
SkinHelper.ListItem.Rating.MC is working fine, but everytime I run Kodi it takes a lot of time for the ratings to appear. SkinHelper.MetaCritic.Rating used to work faster. Sad
@Angelinas,

Krypton have now native support to actors thumbs, was fixed by Phil65, don´t need more use script. Script continue necessary to directors thumbs.

You can clone the wiki the same way as you clone the source... So you can have an offline copy. Just remember to sync latest version every now and than

Nativ support for library items, not for extended info, i need this for pvr and non library content.
Helper script provide get cast for movies,tvshow,episodes and movieset(now is broken).When i have images for actor with cllick I was open dialog select(now is broken),choosse which actor I want and open new dialog from extended script.This was working before ,now just open dialogselect with title and all other line are empty.
Somthing wrong with opening dialogselect.

I'm trying to auto fill names for home screen items by pulling the file name from the path to the list item, but your string split function does not seem usable for this.

Basically looking to remove the file extension from the last level of a file path and use that as a default name for a home item.

I can extend the split string method with a splitright ?
That will split the string on your desired character but will return the last result (most right)

PHP Code:
<control type="multiimage">
            <include>
FullscreenDimensions</include>
            <
imagepath background="true">$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.AllMoviesBackground)]</imagepath>
            ...
</
control

did try to set the random Fanart delay by onload and manualy with "Set.Numeric" got always a black BG (No Images).

Yes that should work, are you using repo version of the script on the newer script.skin.helper.backgrounds addon ?
I get skin helper background error can you please help it happened after the update yesterday

Sounds like a bug. Might have something to do with the "do not share menus" option. Bob fixed that code in the old skinhelper backup and I coded it back blind.
Can you send me your skin backup file so I can take a look ?
(2016-11-22, 02:57)braz Wrote: [ -> ]Is this how you call the new properties? Because I'm not having any luck, all the ones I've tried have been empty.

Currently there's a bug in the code so at startup it takes a while before any properties are generated, I'm fixing that now.

(2016-11-22, 02:57)braz Wrote: [ -> ]Installed your beta repo and updated script.skin.helper.service and installed the new scripts. I couldn't find the Backgrounds one in the repo though, installed it manually.

SkinHelper backgrounds is a hidden addon (skinners only), just like the Skin Helper service itself. You'll have to install it with InstallAddon() in your skin or by setting it as required dependency.
What I did in Titan was simply add some buttons for users to install the optional addons like SkinHelper addons, that prevents me from having it all as dependency when there might be users that don't want all that extra bling.
