Release skin helper service
(2016-12-10, 08:12)VikkiXavier Wrote: Hey Marcel, here's a thought. Can u make your skin to display a image of the academy award if the movie has won or got nominated for an Oscar? It would look cool , but is it possible? Also is it possible to get the information of which academy awards the movie has won ( like for best director, actor, etc)?

See the answer of @wheatfield below your post.
For Jarvis, use SubString instead of String.Contains

Trying to get this to display:
$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Player.Art.Poster)]

For what type of content are you trying to show it ?
Any errors in the logs ?

Any one tried the skin backup and restore functionalities? It does backup the settings, but when I tried to restore, I can see a "Restoring" dialog, but it disappeared quickly and nothing restored. When I check the backup file, I found it only backed up the home menu and the submenus, no widgets are backed up. Even the home menu is backed up, it is still not restored. I tried several times, got the same result. I installed the repository.marcelveldt and everything (kodi, addons, etc.) is latest.

I compared the new backup file with the old version of backup file, I see the SKINPROPERTIES.properties file is empty (only a [] in it, 2 bytes) in the new one and contains a lot of information in the old one, so this should be the problem why it can't restore anything.

Just a friendly bump in case this got missed. I've done a little more digging and found that the backgrounds window properties are always empty until I switch to the Titan skin, then they start to populate. And when I switch back to Mimic, they continue to cycle. But if I restart Kodi, the window properties will be empty again until I switch to Titan. Is there something Titan does to initialize the backgrounds service? It's been a while since I cleared the cache, could that be the issue?

Willing to try anything at this point, I'm stumped. Please let me know if a debug log would be useful. Thanks!

Having difficulty displaying rotating backgrounds in Mimic now. They don't show up unless I switch skins to Titan and then back to Mimic again. I checked your default skin settings, but didn't find anything related that I'm missing. Didn't see anything related in my logs either. Any ideas?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi Marcel Smile
Maybe a little mistake (AC/DC)?
In script.module.skin.helper.artutils/lib/helpers/musicartwork.py function get_all_artists line 612
now is:
Code:
artist.replace(special, special.replace("/", ""))
it should be like this:Blush
Code:
artist = artist.replace(special, special.replace("/", ""))

EDIT1:
Clearlogos and Banners do not work for AC/DC

Is it possible to read albumartist tag instead of artist to avoid this type of issue?

I'm just playing a movie. If I use Player.Art(poster), it will display an image. But when I try using SkinHelper.Player.Art.Poster, it's blank. I'm not sure what is happening, there's nothing in the log.

EDIT: I tried it again in the Titan Krypton beta and it doesn't work there. I changed the poster texture in OSDPanelModern from its default $VAR to $INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Player.Art.Poster)], and it won't display anything. No errors in the log. Thanks for any info!

Did you set the skin string to enable it ?

Skin.SetString(SkinHelper.RandomFanartDelay, 30)

Where the number is the amount of seconds between the rotating of images.

The readme was in error about that, I just fixed it.

I delete simplecache.db and after that I have problem.
No Logo,no Banners for library items,when I have "feat." in artist content he use Artist after word "Feat."
I roll back to version="1.0.18" there working correct.

It will use all artists for lookups, that includes featuring artists.
What do you mean exactly with this as I have no clue of your issue.

Tell me EXACTLY what you're trying to do and what the expected outcome should be.

There is a problem with Fanart.tv Confused
details.get("musicbrainzartistid", self.get_mb_artist_id(artist, album, track)) return [u'ARTIST_ID'] (this is a list.)

Ah, thanks. The error was actually originating somewhere else ( I forrgot about kodi db returning the musicbrainzid as list),
This will be fixed in next version, thanks again for the help.

Things are starting to work for me now, didn't have chance to check last week. One question SkinHelper.ListItem.Tracks.Formatted doesn't seem to have Track number? is that correct? none of the Tracks listems included the tracknumber for me?

Nope, indeed. None of them includes the track number. Will add it, available in next update.

In addition, I'm also displaying the next programme title, along with the next plot, start/end times for the next programme. What I wanted to know is it possible to show the poster artwork for next programme item as well, as I haven't been able to figure out how to achieve this action?

Nope, that scenario is not supported. Skinhelper will only provide window properties for the CURRENT listitem.
If you really want it, you can try to experiment with the webservice that is provided, see section webservice in the wiki.
