Yes I've mentioned it on a few occasions but this really has become the "mother" of all skin helper scripts. Amazing work that has pushed things to the limit. Well done Marcel, the kodi community has dramatically improved with the support you provide here.

Hey Marcel,
I saw two errors in the log:

Lines 927
and then Line 1000.

You can ignore those...


RE: skin helper service - User 224999 - 2015-11-02

Good news... version 1.0.0 of the script is now on Kodi repo!

This is fantastic!

Can't wait to use this script! Big Grin

Thanks a bunch, Marcel.


RE: skin helper service - Gade - 2015-11-02

Hi Marcel.

I'm starting to incorporate this script into skin.rapier, but I seem to have run into an issue regarding exporting/importing skin settings in Jarvis.

Hope this haven't already been reported.

The log shows these two lines when hitting either button:
Code:
18:14:58 T:18236 WARNING: XFILE::CDirectoryFactory::Create - unsupported protocol(protocol) in protocol://
18:14:58 T:18236   ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::Exists - Error checking for protocol://

The actions used are:
Code:
RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=backup)
and
Code:
RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=restore)

This only happens in Jarvis.


RE: skin helper service - User 224999 - 2015-11-02

@Gade, those warnings can be ignored. Did you get an error from the script ? Did it create a backup or just nothing at all?


RE: skin helper service - badaas - 2015-11-02

congrats marcel


have slight issue with emby addon [not direct paths] in that tvshows DBID for ''beause you watched'' & ''top rated in'' return -1

Actually, in Isengard the dialog looks like this:

While it looks like this in Jarvis, not really allowing me to choose anything useful.

Do you know what could lead to this?

Yes... You have to add some sources to the Kodi filemanager. I have always found this a bit strange about Kodi...
Just open the filemanager, add some sources and you're all set.

Hmmm... but on the Isengard system I didn't add the sources the dialog displays. The drives are regular hard disk drives... It should at least show the Home folder. In file manager the exact same items are displayed on both Kodi versions.
