I guess changing <import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.19.0" /> to <import addon="xbmc.python" version="3.0.0" /> isn't all you need to do.

xml:


String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBType,tvshow)">RunScript(script.artwork.beef, mode=gui, mediatype=tvshow, dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID])

What should references like that be changed to? In particular I am trying to fix upgrade bugs to skins like this one

i actually went a step further, i updated same settings as you and some other requirements to bring up to Matrix versions, then i used an online updater to convert all the .py files inside the addon to be python v3...but still it didn't work :-(

In the case of saving subtitles this will lead to the subtitle file being saved in a temporary folder in the addon configuration folder under the user profile.

In the case of saving .nfo or artwork the file is saved but it's file size is truncated to the NFS block size. Artwork Dump displays an error that saving went wrong.

I have contacted the creator of the NFS server and asked him to investigate this. I would also ask Team Kodi to check if there might be a bug in core.

In any case it seems to me that the checking mechanism of subtitles add-ons works better than that of core. Writing of files should not occur if the result is a truncated and therefore corrupted file. Maybe Kodi core could be hardened in this respect, thanks.
