Hello,
First off props on all the hard work and being much smarter than myself lol. I have a question but am terrified to ask and show how little I know about all this haha.
Anyway, I'm using Mimic as my skin and have set up a widget to pull in a list of my next episode from a trakt account. I use and add on and not library integration. After I finished an episode I'd go back to the main screen and I'd hit right then left and my widget would refresh. Recently something changed and this no longer refreshes the widget. As there a setting I can change to force it to refresh rather than cache? I asked this in the mimic forum but was told it's not skin related. I'm on Jarvis FYI.
Anyone able to help me out please?
Thanks,

It's not related to this addon too ;-)
Widgets will refresh for library content, not for addon content (depends on the addon that provides the widget).
So, if you want your widget to refresh whenever you're watching stuff, you should contact the addon developer.
Also, if you're using an addon that provides content from illegal sources you won't get suport at all here, please take notice of the forum rules.

The first version is a python error which I can't fix. Plenty of reports about it on the net.
What version of Kodi are you running ? And on what platform ?
Issue 2 should be fixed on Git now.

Whilst there are workarounds to display the various artwork that this script makes available for the currently selected item - AnimatedPoster, ListItemStudio and Music.Discart to name but three - for items that are not currently focused I have to ask if there is any thought given to making these items available to non-focused items - with preference for this script acting similarly to the artwork downloader script, and adding these so they are available via $INFO[ListItem.Art([artwork type])].
Whilst I greatly appreciate being able to access such images without any workaround for the selected item, as I'm not working on any 'currently selected item info' view, if these aren't available for non-selected items, they're currently - unless I'm misunderstanding the current implementation, which is very possible - not of any use to me. I do understand that such improvements would probably require core changes, though, so am ready to accept a simple 'No' answer
I can make an addon setting to store the values into the Kodi database (through json api) but that will only work for movies, shows and episodes in the library. It won't work for pvr and music.

I've been reworking the code last couple of days to fix a lot of smaller issues and to gain a major speed improvement.
Is it possible for you to give the latest Git version a test ? It should be a lot faster ;-)

The latest git fixes the issue on both of my boxes that were experiencing slow loading. Also, the log file looks much cleaner. Thanks for the quick response!

and for make search easier for you:
default.py - line 240
Code:
actions = params.get("ACTION").split("|")
replace the "ACTION" for something else, and let me know the new name.
2. please be aware that you have multiple places (yesno\ok\message dialogs) in the readme when you have a missing equal sign: header[yourheadertext]
3. thx
1) Now fixed on Git, please test...

2) Yeah, it's the Git autoformatting for the text doing that...

Yes, saw you post in my thread, thanks. But this
$INFO[Window(home).Property(SkinHelper.AnimatedPoster)]
Doesn't work in layouts (item/focused)? well for me anyway?
Hi Mike,
I've now added the animatedposters to the webservice too:

Please check latest Git.
