Hi Marcel, there's a few more errors with recommended music popping up in the logs

Hi Marcel.

Sorry to bump, but I don't know if you saw my feedback on music fanart backgrounds? Again, thanks a lot for adding this.

SkinHelper.RecentMusicBackground doesn't seem to return any images on either Isengard or Jarvis. There's no info in the log on this. SkinHelper.AllMusicBackground and all other options works perfectly.

Also, would it be possible to change SkinHelper.ListItemSubtitles.Count to display the number of all available subtitles, instead of only the number of unique languages?

Cheers
Gade

Hi Marcel, there's a few more errors with recommended music popping up in the logs

Can you please grab latest from Git ? I have reworked soem stuff yesterday, I should also have fixed this one.

Sorry, I forgot to reply... The thread got a little busy so I might have overlooked some stuff
I'm working on the recentmusicbackground. I had some trouble getting the right json query. Will fix this tonight.

The subtitles count should already be added last week:
Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItemSubtitles.Count)
and:
Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItemLanguages.Count)

No worries

Thanks for looking into this.

SkinHelper.ListItemSubtitles.Count works, although it only returns unique subtitle languages. Eg. if you have 3 english subtitles, 1 german and 2 danish, it will return 3 as count. I would really like it to return all subtitles if that's possible (eg. 6 in the previous example).

Latest Git should fix both the count and the recent music background...

Works like a charm! Thanks a lot.

Cool, thanks

[User 224999]

Apologies Marcel, only just got around to testing your code for using WindowProps/SkinStrings inside a container. Works well on initial try for genre icons. However, after a bit of testing I noticed a few issues. Namely, if you change the skin string to use different genre icons, it doesn't seem to pick this up (even tried restarting). Also the fallback image doesn't seem to work.

Here's the code I'm using:

Code:

http://localhost:52307/getvarimage&title=$INFO{Skin.String(genre.icons.path)}$INFO[ListItem.Label,,.jpg]&fallback=$INFO[ListItem.Icon]

One of the genre icon packs (Filmstrip) I tried didn't have an image for Science Fiction. However, the fallback doesn't seem to work. If I just use $INFO[ListItem.Icon] in the control I will get the DefaultFolder.png image, but not with the helper fallback. I also tried fallback=$INFO{ListItem.Icon} in case it needed the curly brackets instead, but no dice.

Just a litlle heads up that I'm still working on this...

I've fixed the fallback image but there seems to be a problem with the resource images in general.
I filed a bugreport for it: http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/16366

In the meanwhile I'm looking for a solution... For my own skin for example I want to be able to let the user select a resource addon for genre icons, weather etc. I use Ronie's script to select the resource addon but hey here is the issue again that you can't access a skin string inside a panel...

I think all skinners are now having this issue. Offcourse we hope for a solution in the Kodi code but while that isn't fixed, this is the only solution I can come up with:

PHP Code:

<variable name="MovieGenreIconVar">
       <value condition="Skin.String(MovieGenreIconPack.path,resource://resource.images.moviegenreicons.poster/)">resource://resource.images.moviegenreicons.poster/$INFO[ListItem.Label].jpg</value>

       <value>http://localhost:52307/getvarimage&amp;title=$INFO{Skin.String(MovieGenreIconPack.path)}$INFO[ListItem.Label,,.jpg]</value>
     </variable>

And this for all possible resource addons.
It seems a bit ridiculous if every skinner needs to create these vars to work around the issue...
What I can do is generate these vars inside an include XML file automatically by the helper addon. That way the data will always match all available addons and every skinner can use the same file, all you need to do is include that xml file in your skin.

Does this sound like a valid (temporary) solution for you all ?

mmm, Marcel, I have some NUC user, that the splash screen is not working for him.
He chose MP4 file, and he gets black screen, and only the audio is working.
The file is working well when he try to play it via video library.
Here's log:

The mp4 file can be found Here

Sorry, I forgot to mention... I had to change the splash screen feature a bit to work around some issues.
You need to include an image and videocontrol to your startup.xml, see the readme.
BTW: This also solves your issue with the doubled splash image

Marcel, I have one user that said the kodi is getting black screen (and he only hears the navigation sounds) - after the last update of the helper.
I searched in his log and saw:

Code:

19:34:03 T:928   ERROR: CScriptInvocationManager::ExecuteAsync - Not executing non-existing script script.skin.helper.service

I guess he don't have the script? maybe the update failed and cause it?
Can I prevent it someway ? maybe adding "System.HasAddon(script.skin.helper.service)" to both <onload /> tags ? (replacewindow\runscript)

Hi messed up installing the addon apparently... Maybe he installed by hand and now it's duplicated ?
