I follow your skin and your threads for about 2 years.
I've noticed that almost every newcomer has problems to get SkinHelper get to work. This is spamming the skin threads full.
I would suggest placing a tutorial on the first page of the thread to prevent it from happening. Alone in your multi-mod thread for krypton, I have already shown about 30 people how to get everything to run.

Here again:
Tutorial how to get SkinHelper to work:
This Skin needs SkinHelper and SkinHelper needs an OMDB api key to get movie extened ratings, Award Information, Oscars and so on directly from web.
(This is cause kodi DB itself is limited and not all Information could be storaged in DB via scraper or .nfo)
You can request a free api key here: OMDB API
http://www.omdbapi.com/apikey.aspx
Once you have the api key go to
settings --> system --> addons--> manage dependicies --> Metadata artwork utilies --> configure --> api --> patreon omdb api ---> Enter api keyhere.
After you have entered your key you need to
delete the simplecache.db file so it picks up the new ratings. Go to file manager.
Navigate to
Appdata -> Roaming -> kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.module.simplecache --> Delete simplecache.db
Note: If you dont see the Appdata -> Roaming -> kodi folder you may need to enable the hidden files and directories option in kodi settings.
Restart system. Leave idle on movie while it updates.
Hope this helps

If still problems:
1st) Be sure you've registered on omdb and got an valid api key. Test your api key is valid.
2nd) Be sure you've an active internet connection
Try to make the addon settings descripted above on standard skin (on some skins i've problem to find this very long menu path to get to enter the omdb api key)
Now it had to work! If not...
3rd) Try to mix up different SkinHelperService versions script.module.simplecache versions (Try newest in official repo first, then try the newest with manual .zip install and then try other versions)
On different steps, be sure to close kodi completely down (also task manager, and make reboots)
Hope it helps
Feel Free to give a Rep point (on left side) if it helped.
