When using the next up epsidoes widget, it displays the poster art for that particular season. Does anyone know if it's possible to change this so it shows the poster art for the show itself and not just the particular season?

Yes that is possible.
The question is which skin are you using, as the displayed image format is determined by the skin.

I'm using Arctic horizon 2. Is your suggestion to change all the posters for seasons to the TV shows main poster? I thought about that but don't want to lose all my shows season posters altogether. Was just wondering if there's a line I can edit somewhere. The same type of widget in Embuary helper for example has the main poster in the widget, not the season. However I've had to stop using it as there an issue with it not being updated for Nexus.

I also have a similar issue where sometimes instead of a poster at all, it'll default to season landscape instead of poster, except it's squeezed into poster size so it looks terrible and cut off. I've experienced this issue for a long time which is why I switched to Embuary helper in the first place. I can fix it by going in and choosing no artwork for season landscape but that that can be a pain when it does it a lot.

I tested your latest change from SHS today.
There are massive problems with the playback of the channels via SHS pvr widgets.
I will do a detailed test tomorrow. Then I will have more info.

Ok I figured it out. I was able to solve this by going into metadatautils folder, opening kodidb.py and changing "season.poster" to "tvshow.poster"


RE: skin helper service - Fuchs2468 - 2023-03-31

Hello @Angelinas .

Here I have a more detailed summary of the problem.
First a short video before the last change in "script.skin.helper.widgets" and "script.skin.helper.service".
Everything works very well.
Here is my log file:
https://paste.kodi.tv/zujedabifi.kodi
Here is my video:
https://streamable.com/0u3at3

Here is my second video with your last change.
As you can see, SHS pvr widget is very cumbersome to use via videoinfo or not at all.
I have also tested with "AH2" is also so cumbersome if you only want to watch TV and is always redirected to videoinfo.
The unabridged log file from this test can be posted if required.
Here is my log file(shortened):
https://paste.kodi.tv/vuludozoho.kodi
Here is my video:
https://streamable.com/apv46u

I have made 2 videos that explain the problem most easily.

Sorry, I had missed the update of "script.module.metadatautils". I had only looked at the version number.
I have now tested "SHS Pvr Widgets" with the gui setting you recommended. 
it works.
Code:
<setting id="myvideos.selectaction" default="true">1</setting>
Here is my log file:
https://paste.kodi.tv/tixovoratu.kodi


The only problem is that I would like to use this setting for TV shows and movies from my video database.
Code:
<setting id="myvideos.selectaction" default="true">3</setting>
With this setting, I can also play most TV programmes via the PVR widget. The problem is that it does not work when a TV programme is a movie.
Here is my log file:
https://paste.kodi.tv/uyucusacib.kodi

At the moment, this function does not seem to me to be an optimal solution. 
It might be a good solution to add a switch to SHS marked experimental, so that you can switch between the old and new behaviour of "script.skin.helper.widgets". 

Since I'm still working on the Nexus update for "Titan-Mod" I'll send to you my test version via "PM" for testing.
Today or tomorrow.


RE: skin helper service - Trang-Sene - 2023-05-08

Hello,
Just installed the last version of LibreElec (v11.0.1 / Kodi 20.1) on a Raspberry Pi 4.
When I go to Settings > Add-ons > Install from repository > Program Add-ons, Skin Helper Service Skin Backup is not showing.
I've tested with my old LibreElec V9 on another SD Card and I see the add-on.
Am I missing something ? Is there an compatibility issue I've missed ?
I don't want to reconfigure all my skin and menu again.
Thanks for your help.


RE: skin helper service - Trang-Sene - 2023-05-09

I reply to myself : Add-on Skin Helper Service Skin Backup only compatible up to version Kodi v18 (Leia) Sad

"Skin Helper Service Skin Backup" works with Kodi 19 and also with Kodi 20. 
You should simply update the repo once.
repository.marcelveldt-1.0.3.zip

Or install "Skin Helper Service Skin Backup" as a zip file.
script.skin.helper.skinbackup-1.0.22.zip
