[Jester]

To be clear, I continue to give full credit to Pecinko, but I will be using my fork to push updates to the official repo, this way updates/fixes can go in faster (no offense Pecinko...) now that its back in the repo

Next up will be to update the skin to be fully compatible with v15, which will take some work:

Pull requests welcome

Somehow whatever you did had the effect of breaking my Kodi when I started it.

I'm assuming Kodi was trying to update the skin, something broke and then it went to a black screen.

I managed to change the skin to Confluence before it broke and I was able to isolate the issue.

It does take a while on a slower system to update, i had to same (rpi) but after 10-15 sec. its comes back.
If this is not the case for you, please post a debug log so we can figure out what is going on.

Thanks
