Is that an expected behavior even though my locale is set to 11-27-2016? Also, the tvshow IMDB ratings are still blank and I've verified that they are on OMDB.
The only error in my log is "ERROR: Skin Helper Service --> Exception in resources.lib.listitem_monitor ! --> Unsupported locale ''
To what language and country is your kodi set-up ?
Please try to set it on English and let me know if the properties are working
EDIT: updated version is now uploading to the repo which has some error handling for the locale

Hi Marcel
Odd things happening with Google results for PVR scraping. It seems that nearly all results pulled from google are incorrect or just complete random pictures, but if i manually search the results appear to be much more accurate.
My thinking is that the "background" scraping that's querying google is searching the channel name and title, giving pretty ordinary results... But when manually searching, it's searching on just the Title which appears to generate more accurate results.
I remember this happening a while back and you fixed it, but i think it's back again!
can you look into this when you get a spare minute.
Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Loggio.

It displays the local album image no matter what setting I use, and it won't overwrite it unless I delete simplecache.db, Texture13.db and userdata/Thumbnails. This is with a 200x200 local album image in the album folder.
1) ListItem.Premiered will be taken from Kodi itself, so if you have ListItem.Premiered on the actual listitem in kodi, that exact string will be used for SkinHelper.ListItem.Premiered too. Only if that info isn't present in/on the Kodi listitem, the results from the scraper will be used.
2) So, are we talking about normal library content here ? Or are you using this with pvr artwork ?
3) Do you still have errors in your log after last update ?
4) The album image from Kodi is always preferred, I was thinking about this the other day and I think this can be a bit more user friendly if the value from skinhelper is also saved in the Kodi database. I will work on that later today.
EDIT: Now I remember, saving that info to kodidb is not possible. So if you want to prefer the skinhelper results in your skin, remember to prefer the Window properties instead of the normal ListItem.Thumb

Yes, because otherwise you get less accurate results but looks like there's a typo in there.
Please test with next update, it will still append the channelname but should work better.

Since last update extrafanarts for tv shows and movies works now. Thanks.
But there is a problem when movies are in collection, there is no fanart.

It doesn't find a year for a album
actually the ArtistThumb is shown for AlbumThumb
Both issues fixed in next update later tonight.

Hello Marcel
Could you consider, (once the Bughunting is over), to add a Functionality which set the Focus to the playing item of a playlist (according "System.IdleTime" or "On.Next) to use in "myPlaylists.xml?
the Idea would be to have some kinde of autofocus for the currently playing track (or maybe episotde to), so it would be still possible to browse through the playlist but have focus on the currently playing item after idle or if the next item starts to play.
i think here about a call (scriptcall maybe) via "onload" if possible.
Not hardly needed, but a nice addition imho.

I'm still trying to figure out music; I only have the Window properties in use for now while troubleshooting, so I'm not sure why I'm getting these results. No matter what setting I use, it uses the local thumb if present, even if I've unchecked "Lookup artwork in my music folders". When I go to the manual lookup, it'll show the online image as the current thumb. I've deleted my cache, music db, textures db, and thumbnails.
Sorry to pile on here, but I've noticed that the album plot has the artist plot appended to the end of it. Is this expected?
1) Make sure that you use the Window Property provided by skinhelper for your thumb because the kodi default ListItem.Thumb will not change. Do you understand ? You're now referring to the normal $INFO[Listitem.Thumb infolabel while you should use $INFO[Window(Home).property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.Thumb)]]
2) Oops, that is actually a mistake. That should only happen for the player. I will fix it.
