I appreciate you taking over this great skin & keeping it alive & as far as I can see you are doing a great job.
Currently I am still using the old MOD on Jarvis & currently have an issue & wondered if you might be able to give some advice to what the issue might be & how to fix it.
The problem I am getting, & I assume was caused by a recent dependecy update, is that the movie duration & info to do with sets i.e. mini set posters & list of set movies & years, is not showing up. The movie duration is being recognised because the finish time is updating for each movie.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The movie set display was broken due to the changes in the Skin Helper add-ons. Sadly, not much about it can be done, aside from updating everything in the skin pertaining to the SH add-on suite. The easy way to fix this would be to revert to the (old) version of skin helper service that used the calls that are in the skin. However, this will mess up your other skins, which presumably do use the latest skin helper add-ons.
Sadly, I can't provide any special support for the Jarvis version. I've never modded the Jarvis skin, and it's quite different from the Krypton one. So I'd need time to reacquaint myself with the structure, etc. and I haven't the time, nor the actual Kodi Jarvis to test it out on. Personally, I'd recommend you coming over to Krypton. 17.1 is coming soon, and so far it's proven to be as stable as it's going to get.
If not, you can try to go the skin helper wiki on github and note the latest calls collected there. The SH changelogs should probably alert you to the calls that were changed. You can then use something like Notepad++ to batch search and replace the old calls with the new ones. I've no idea just how many of the calls were deprecated in the meantime, nor just how much work is there to be done.
Alanon,
Thanks very much for your help & advice & was not expecting more than that. I don't use any other skin except the Eminence MOD so am happy to use an older version of the Skin Helper Service & stop it updating for now. I tried it the other day but couldn't find any online, so tried it with two that I have stored on my box. One wouldn't install & said couldn't find a dependency & the other installed but made no difference & didn't seem to change the version number. I tried to uninstall it but Kodi told me it was being used by my skin & one other that was installed but not being used. I'm reluctant to uninstall my skin incase I can't get it back how Iike it, but might give it a go soon.
Sadly I can't switch to Krypton yet as it's not stable on my Wetek Core I use, there is an issue of major lag after half hour or so of use. I do plan to switrch & use your MOD as soon as the Devs sort it.
Thanks & keep up the great work.
