I haven't checked the log yet but the widgets don't display at all for movies not music. I'm assuming they should be displaying right? I'll check the log soon.

Hello Marcel.
I´ve updated the last version and I have still problems with the splash intro.
The splash works, but after it no menu appears.
Can you please look at that. I love splash.
Thank you.

Thanks for reply Marcel I tried this already. I removed and re-added "Recent Recordings" using Widgets>Default Widgets>Skin helper Service Widgets>PVR> but I just get a spinning circle for a few seconds and then an empty list. I've tried to add other widgets from within the PVR> section and some works but most don't ie on one client the "Channels" widget works but the others don't but on a second client only the "Timers" widget is working.

I'm using ArgusTV backend PVR, not sure if thats relevant. FYI the other widgets seem OK its only the ones from the PVR> section that I'm having problems with

Can you please send me your kodi logfile ?
Or look in the logfile yourself if there are any errors listed from skinhelper service or skinhelper widgets.

Hi before i did anything else I wanted to make sure it wasnt an issue in my Kodi user profile so I renamed my Kodi folder and set it up again from scratch. I get the same error on a new install. I've pasted in my log file from launch below. hope this helps and thanks for looking Marcel

I cannot update to 3.7.38, installtion failed everytime. Ive just removed titan skin and tried to reinstall it and now that wont install at all. Im using the beta repo as always. no change to anything either since last updates. Just wont install at all now 

As with every update past and present:
In the skin setting, back up.
Close Kodi.
Navigate to addons folder and delete skin.titan.kryptonbeta.
Navigate to addon_data folder and delete skin.titan.kryptonbeta.
Open Kodi and install from beta repo.
It will install as well as update any other addons required for the update.
In the skin setting, restore from back up.
Done.

2 - Still cannot edit a submenu so i will reset all my menus, just noticed walking deads availble so might be tomorrow as i want to watch this before i start messing around.

Note there's a bug in the current repo version of Skin Shortcuts that prevents editing of submenus where the main menu is linked to an addon. Fix is awaiting approval for the Kodi repo.

Veyr strange but i did not do any of the above. I tried installing it as usual and on the 3rd attempt it worked.

OK, all updated, menus reset and look and works fantastic but ive just spotted something.
I have some Bluray movies and ive added them to kodi and also added them as a widget. but it doesnt look great. Im using small posters and as you can see in the picture the image doesnt fit the small poster template. ANy fix of a way around this at all?

You may know Kodi 18 Alpha is now available.
Titan Krypton beta seems to work fine, just an FYI in case you need to tweak anything going forward.

Disable Emby coverart and it will look better. As you can see clearly in your screenshot, Emby coverart doesn't follow the rules of aspect ratios for posters

No, Kodi 18 is still pre-alpha (as Kodi krypton isn't released yet).
I will start looking at this only once Krypton is released.

I installed 18 from the nightly directory by accident, so this was just an observation.
Wouldn't expect you to begin work on 18 until Krypton has finally landed

Perhaps you have a conflict somewhere?
If it was me I would rule that out by:

Rename entire Kodi folder kodiold.
Open Kodi and let it rebuild.
Install the repo.
Install the skin.
See if it loads.
If it does, something is conflicting in your old build.
What that is I wouldn't know?
If it still doesn't load, I have no answers.

When finished, delete that new Kodi folder and rename your original back to kodi and all will be as it was, untouched.
