I tried to backup my data and encountered errors for bad file names. Then I found the files in these two cache folders are weird. For example, for video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc93nuMdvMg, there is a cache file named like "He swallowed his dog's toy 馃槀馃槀 turn sound on 馃攰-2016.xml". The name is not accessible in tools like adb shell or es file explorer.
It's better to have a way to clear the cache.
Thanks!
The latest iterations of skinhelper addons don't use that filebased cache anymore. I've switched to a sqllite implementation.
It is safe to just delete those files/directories

Hi Marcel,
in library at the Albums, if we have more albums with the same name e.g. "Greatest Hits" and different artist, Skin Helper Service downloading information for one artist and display it (without changes) for other artists with the same names of albums.

It would be very nice.
Hmm, explain that to me...
Music metadata/artwork can only be for ONE artist/band at the same time.
If you have multiartist albums, alsno known as various artists compilations it SHOULD (But I did not test it yet) display the correct artwork for each individual track of the multiartist album.
Maybe I don't understand it correctly, if so please explain to me what you mean.

Oops, that's not correct. I'll fix it
EDIT: Hmm, strange, following the code it shouldn't happen as it always includes the artist in the query and in the cache.
I will have to look in my collection if I can reproduce the issue.
EDIT2: Found the issue. Fix coming up later tonight or tomorrow.

It's removed from the code and only exists for skinhelper provided widgets so if you still see it and/or have issues with it you're still using the old/stable version of skinhelper and you'll have to wait untill this massive new update hits the kodi repo ;-)

Tell me more as it shouldn't happen. Only if the same channel broadcasts the same title.
The cache-key is a combination of channel and title.
In which usecase does this happen, for the window properties ?
EDIT: found the issue. Will be fixed in next update

is this link correct?
PHP Code:
<content>plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=getcast&downloadthumbs=true&movie=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Listitem.title)]</content>
he dont loads all pictures, for example he doesnt load "silvester stalone"
Yes, that code is correct and it should work. I've just tested it.
Maybe a typo in the name of the actor ?
Can you check if there is an error in the log maybe ?
