It's not a skin problem. Kodi 20 Nexus has a problem on all platforms except windows. It is a well-known problem with python elementtree. That's why Kodi with custom skins and addons keeps crashing. My advice to you is to go back to Kodi 19.5.

This is my standard practice with Kodi I usually wait until a later version of the current Kodi build before upgrading it gives the developers time to get all the bugs worked out I honestly just upgraded to 19.5 from 18.9 a couple months ago. The only caveat is you have to manually update all the other apps on your device every so often.

I replaced:
xmldata.getiterator()
with:
xmldata.iter()

This fixes it on Vero 4K+. I can now see my smart playlist in Smart shotcuts list. I did not have the time to try it out on PC yet.

I have no idea why it worked on a Windows PC but not Vero 4K+/OSMC. Maybe my Vero has a more recent version of XMLTree (or Python?). A quick Google search indicates that getiterator() has been deprecated in recent Python version. edit: Actually deprecated already in Python 3.2 and removed completely in 3.9

Don't really want to look through almost every file in there. Thanks again!

1. What is difference between .kodi/addons/skin.titan.bingie.mod/playlists and .kodi/addons/skin.titan.bingie.mod/extras/categories
   
2. How can I add/edit such a category? I tried to just edit one of the files and reload or restarted but they did not appear. Also looked into the dialog which let me choose which category to show in the widget. My update did not take place.
   
3. Is it correct that I do not see that special playlists in the overview of all my smart playlists?
   
4. What does the option "Homescreen layout -> Category Hub -> Enable Library List" do?
   

1. Why are they called like this?
   
2. What is so smart about them?
   
3. Is it correct that they just contain my smart playlists?
   
4. What is the purpose of them?
   

1. Often when I change the menu items for example I delete on the changes do not apply to the menu itself. I mean they are gone from the configuration menu but the menu does still show the item. The same sometimes happen when adding an item or edtiting it in generell. Simple things like setting the label sometimes do not apply. Are there some known issues going on?
   
2. I was curious what this "MyHub" thing is and tried bind it to a menu entry but it did not work. I selected it in the dialog but it does not apply anything.
   

1. On the menu item options: What is the difference between "Change Action" & "Change Shortcut"? For me it just opens the same dialog.
   
2. Can I not set an action which just points to a certain point in my library? (like TvShow->Genres or Movies->Tags->Love)
   

1. Would be nice to have explantions for the settings. Dude, there are so many options and I would read all the info texts but there are none. That makes it really hard to configure it.
   
2. More in general: Wouldn't be nice to have some kind of documentation to a skin? As far as I can see for the skins there are only two places: Those giantic froum threads and their github-repository where a user can read out how to configure it.
   

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
  
• Kodi: 19.5 (tried 20 before but rolled back because I read the skin is may not ready for that)
  
• Skin-Repo: https://achillespunks.github.io/repository.titan.bingie.mod/repository.titan.bingie.mod/
  
• Skin-Version: 2.1.0
