Use a VAR in your skin for that is the most common option. Offcouse I can also strip off the "Rated" part but don't know how others feel about that ?

Well, the "Rated" word can be easily added as a prefix, like: Rated $INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.MPAA)]

Is it possible to see the cast icons (just the icons/ images of actors will be enough) in the views? like showcasse view, posterlist view, etc etc ..?

Yes Smile

Hey Marcel, I've noticed that in PVR recordings, images no longer display at the group folder level. Is this intentional? Thanks.

Similiar movies is coming up as 'Select busy spinner' in widget selection and widget label, looks like label 32006 might be incorrect?

Also still no music lisitems, i.e. tracks. Got all latest scripts and have bool set to true but no luck. Anything else to try or look into?

Edit: saw these in the log, are they connected to skin helper or something else?

1) Do you have the labels hardcoded in your skin ? Are you not using the widgetselector in skinshortcuts ?
If you have them hardcoded you will have to use the labels defined in the new widgets addon or define them in your skin's language file.

2) You are aware that the tracks property is only provided for library items, right ? Also, you have installed all my scripts from my repo and not by hand (to make sure you're on latest version) ? AND you have cleared the cache db before trying ?

3) They shouldn't be from skinhelper but I will take a look

Hi,

1) I checked my template.xml and overides.xml and also the built includes, they have label 32006 in all and in the overides it like this:

Code:
<shortcut label="$ADDON[script.skin.helper.service 32006]" condition="System.HasAddon(script.skin.helper.service)" icon="logos/shs-logo.png" widget="library" widgetType="movies" widgetTarget="video">plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=similarmovies&amp;reload=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(widgetreload)]</shortcut>

2) I only have library items in my install, I've go to 'marcels repo' and downloaded everything in there except icons and sounds, then also got the tvdb module as that's not in your repo so I believe I have the very latest version of everything, I've then update home.xml to have an onload the setbool the music one as per the wiki and can confirm in my settings.xml it is 'true'. I've deleted the simplecache.db and started kodi and still nothing, no logo, no tracklist no music listitems at all it seems which would make me think the setbool is not right but my settings say it is ok?

3) Thanks, I wasn't sure as that's all those warning say, nothing really helpful.

Marcel,

I know it's not your scripts, but I'm on a recent nightly on Win 10 and most of the time updates fail to install, just now on startup all your scripts failed to auto-update, they generally work when done manually but the lastest cache on is just 'update failed'

Any ideas why this is happening? as I said I know it's not your scripts but maybe you have some insight into the install process?

Hi,
SkinHelper does not collect information for all music artists in my library.
SkinHelper takes only SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.Thumb and SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.FanArt.
Musical artists (for example, AC / DC, Alicia Keys, Ariana Grande, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, DEV ..........) have in their catalogs files banner.jpg, fanart.jpg, folder.jpg , logo.png and extrafanart folder with files xxxxxxxxx.jpg, but SkinHelper takes only SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.Thumb and SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.FanArt.

My settings for SkinHelper Music Artwork (EnableMusicArt, EnableExtendedArt, EnableExtraFanart) :
Enable online scraper (musicbrainz/audiodb/fanart/last.fm) - off
Lookup artwork in my music folders (library) - on
Lookup artwork in a custom folder (e.g. recordings folder) - off

I used the "Refresh (auto looup)" - but nothing changes
Maybe someone can help? What am I doing wrong?Sad

Rotten Tomatoes changed their terms so it's now only possible with a paid subscription to get that info from their API's.
I've asked them if they can have a personal API key so users can subscripbe theirselves, fill in the key in skinhelper settings and only then will receive those reviews.

2) As for your request: In the addon settings for the Skin helper Widgets you'll notice a setting "group episodes" which is what you need.

Hi Marcel, I think there is a bug with this ... even though in settings the toggle for grouping is on, I see multiple episodes for a show.
No errors in log except for:

Code:
22:39:34.245 T:1400 WARNING: CUtil::SplitParams(TVshowPath,"S:\Media\TV Shows - Local Only\Arrow\") - end of string while searching for ) or "
22:39:36.556 T:4424 WARNING: Previous line repeats 2 times.

That show for example IS showing multiple eps so I think those warnings are related to the problem.

All Pvr problem for channel info and Art:

1-stil same problem about movies -always find tvshow(if excist)
2-SkinHelper.PvrBackground not working for channel
3-When clik manual lookup open search dialog(I complitly delete string for searching,and no meter what to chose from top panel Movie or tvshow alwys is same.Same is when leave Title in serch dialog).

OK, I'll strip off the Rated part for results from OMDB but be aware that the value in Kodi db has preference so you'll have to make sure that items in your kodi library also have no Rated included.

Should still work at the grouped level. Are the groupfolders named like the recordings ?

1) Those labels do no longer exist. You will have to define the labels yourself or look up the new values in the language file of script.skinhelper.widgets.
But, why code all the widgets yourself ? you can use the widgets selector, in that case you'll only need to define 1 line of code in shortcuts.xml

2a) the modules are invisible on the repo. You will have to make dependencies on your skin to install them. In this case a dependency to script.skin.helper.service will be enough to also install the modules.
If you're also using the widgets you'll also need script.skin.helper.widgets
If you're also using skinbackup --> script.skin.helper.skinbackup
If you need the colorpicker --> script.skin.helper.colorpicker
If you need the random backgrounds --> script.skin.helper.backgrounds

Offcourse you can also choose to not make them dependencies in your skin but create buttons in your skin to install them them with InstallAddon so users have the choice theirselves to install them. I used that approach for Titan (except for the helper service).

2b) As something is clearly still wrong, can you provide me your kodi logfile after browsing the music library (where the labels don't show up).
You did notice that all window properties have changed now ?

I think this happens because I'm pushing updates very frequently atm. In some cases I have just uploaded a new version on the repo and it's still syncing on the servers.
Kodi in that case grabs an incomplete file on the server. It's a timing issue if you ask me.

I think it will work correctly if you try to install again at a later time.

It's working correctly on my setup with those exact same settings.
Do you have this folder structure for your music:

Artistname
-------------- artwork files
-------------- album name folder
---------------------------------------- album artwork (disc.png or folder.jpg)
---------------------------------------- songs

Also supported is an additional "disc" subfolder in the album.

Any errors in the logfile ?

Not related to skinhelper, sounds more like an issue with your PVR addon.
Also the second error is spit out by the Kodi scraper, not skinhelper.
