I will do more testing but it looks like if you have 2 movies with the same name, it returns a top250 position on both of them. In my case, it is with Beauty and the Beast

In that case check if you have the imdbid scraped into the database

Thanks to you know i have the option to read the video tags. This is working fine. Today i noticed the cache issue again. I have added some more tags and tagged a few videos with an 'atmos' tag.
I have restarted Kodi and tried the new tagged movies. The old tagged movies are working fine but the new are not. As you suggested i made some changes to the database by changing the watch/unwatched status.
Restarted Kodi again but the new tagged movies are still not working. So i decided to remove the userdata/skin.helper.service folder and restart Kodi again. After that restart the new tagged movies are
working too.
So i assume the cache is the issue. Any idea how to solve?
It's not a very big issue for me. I don't alter the tag database very often but i'm interested why this cache behavior.

Hi guilouz,
Not evey movie has an animated poster, the database is fairly new and constantly being added to. You need to have a !isempty check on it and then display if it exists otherwise display poster if isempty or a var with conditions etc. Whatever you decide as a solution when animated poster don't exist.
The listitems are recent as is the context so please check you have latest from git. I only briely tested these last weekend and they seemed to be mainly working, but i can't test again until this weekend to let marcel know if there are any issues,
Only the listitems will work in item / focused layout. So the original window property won't work as looking at your estuary view it looks like your in a list?
Also go back a few posts / pages and look for me or angelinas as there is a new clearproperty you need to have in home.xml as well for the latest skin helper. It is mentioned in a recent post.
Hope this helps buddy.

Yes, the Listitem will probably still be available without the skin.bool because Marcel was kind enough to add in the ability for Animated posters / backgrounds to write to the DB as the 2 new Lititems. So once these are created the I would presume they are always available.
The Skin.bool is for I believe mainly for the automatic process of looking for an animated poster / background. that will not execute without the skin.bool being set.
I, like Angelinas, just activated the skin helper option and the context menu option is there for use. can't help in more detail until the weekend. But will take a look if you don't resolve it before then.

Do you have background=true set to your image control ?
