RE: skin helper service - Solo0815 - 2016-11-27
I have some problems left:
I'm using skinhelper together with script.radio.streaming.helper

all on internet streams (Webradio)

Code:
$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Player.Art.AlbumThumb)]2.

Its now working brilliantly.
One request: is it possible to have a parameter to tell the widget to only display 1 episode if multiple exist for the same TV show?
Usecase: adding new TV show with multiple episodes, completely fills out the widget with that TV show... It would look nicer if only one entry was there, for example just the first unwatched..
1) The widgets indeed have their own caching to make sure the database isn't hammered constantly with requests. With the reload parameter you can make sure that kodi refreshes the container and that the latest info is pulled from the kodi DB (cache ignored).
For the "media" widgets it's recommended that you use both the widgetreload and widgetreload2 propety to make sure all scenarios are caught.
widgetreload is used for all video library items and widgetreload2 just changes every 10 minutes.
2) As for your request: In the addon settings for the Skin helper Widgets you'll notice a setting "group episodes" which is what you need.

is not working. Gives no AlbumThumb, even, if there is one on musicbrainz.Code:$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Player.Art.AlbumThumb)]
2.
does also not work. The same query worked with skinhelper before (1.0.100)Code:http://localhost:52307/getmusicart&artist=$INFO[Window(12006).Property(artiststring)]&track=$INFO[Window(12006).Property(trackstring)]&album=$INFO[Window(12006).Property(albumtitle)]&type=discart
Thx
1) You don't need that additional radio helper script, that logic is already in Skinhelper (for a long time already) and it will only add some more overhead and performance loss if you use them both.
2) Make sure to enable Music Artwork: Skin.SetBool(SkinHelper.EnabeMusicArt)
3) You don't need to use the webservice (only in very rare cases), just use $INFO[Window(Home).Property(Skinhelper.Player.Art.Thumb)]
4) Please check if Player.Art.Thumb is working, I will look into the AlbumArt property, might be that it's only set for library content. If that's the case I'll fix it.
5) If you really need the webservice because you're showing stuff inside a container, there's a simple trick to test the webservice:
- Open Kodi
- With Kodi running, open your browser and type the url for the artwork lookup.
- For example http://localhost:52307/getmusicart&artist=queen
- That should show the image in your browser
- On error you will see the error listed
EDIT: Found the issue with Art.Albumthumb, will be fixed in next update. It might be needed to clear the cache to make it work:
To flush the cache, delete simplecache.db in userdata\Database when Kodi is closed.
Next update will be provided later today
RE: skin helper service - Solo0815 - 2016-11-27
OK, thx. Will test it, when the new version is out.
I'm using the streaming helper script, beacause it splits the streaming info into $Artist, $Track and $Album.

And that's exactly what skinhelper also does for you
RE: skin helper service - Solo0815 - 2016-11-27
What InfoLables do I have to use? MusicPlayer.Title, .Artist and .Album are not working. Does skinhelper have special InfoLabels?
I haven't seen anything about it in the skinhelper-Wiki

Are SkinHelper.ListItem.Rating.IMDB and SkinHelper.ListItem.Votes.IMDB meant to work for tvshows and episodes? I get nothing when trying to use it in DialogVideoInfo unless it's a movie.
Also, SkinHelper.ListItem.Premiered.formatted displays the date as "27 Nov 2016" or something similar. Is it supposed to display the localized variation chosen in skin settings? For example, I've chosen "11-27-2016" for my preferred format and it ignores the setting.

Hi Marcel,
Do you have take a look for extrafanarts not working with tv shows and movies ? Only working with music.
My setting to enable/disable extrafanarts :
Code:
<control type="radiobutton" id="626">
<include>MediaMenuItemsCommon</include>
<label>Extrafanarts</label>
<selected>Skin.HasSetting(SkinHelper.EnableExtraFanart)</selected>
<onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(SkinHelper.EnableExtraFanart)</onclick>
</control>And my code to show fanarts/extrafanarts :
Code:
<control type="image">

<fadetime>400</fadetime>
<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="400">WindowOpen</animation>

<texture background="true" colordiffuse="$VAR[Background_Opacity]">$VAR[MediaFanartVar]</texture>
<visible>![Player.HasVideo + Skin.HasSetting(background_showvideo)] | !String.IsEmpty(Window(Videos).Property(PlayingBackgroundMedia))</visible>

Hey Marcel,
the genre artwork function is also broken for the webservice.

Yes that should work, are you using repo version of the script on the newer script.skin.helper.backgrounds addon ?
The Repo version.(1.0.100)
(What would you recomend as dependency for Krypton? Will the "old" script still exist in its "old" way, once the testing from the new splitted one is over?)
EDIT:
Problem solved after a "refresh" to the same version Number, so works now ..

I haven't seen anything about it in the skinhelper-Wiki
All properties as mentioned in the "listitem" section and the normal kodi listitem properties are available for the Player too.
So in your case use the following:
SkinHelper.Player.Title --> track title
SkinHelper.Player.Artist -> artist name(s)
SkinHelper.Player.Album --> album name
This will work for media in the library and for streaming radio (if scraper is enabled in addon settings).
But... I think this is now also not working because of the bug I fixed earlier. When I'm back home I will put the updated version on the repo.

There's a small typo in your code:
PHP Code:
<visible>![Player.HasVideo + Skin.HasSetting(background_showvideo)] | !String.IsEmpty(Window(Videos).Property(PlayingBackgroundMedia))</visible>
should be:
PHP Code:
<visible>![[Player.HasVideo + Skin.HasSetting(background_showvideo)] | !String.IsEmpty(Window(Videos).Property(PlayingBackgroundMedia))]</visible>
Also you can remove the other visibility conditions as the script can also provide extrafanrt for plugins and homescreen widgets.
Maybe only use this as visibility condition (besides the one above):
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(SkinHelper.EnableExtrafanart) + !IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.extrafanart))</visible>
