Hmmm, it appears that the IMDB ID is scraped incorrectly in your database.
You can check this if you open the Kodi db (MyVideosXX.db) in sqllite editor.
As a test you can empty the imdid field so skinhelper will lookup the id online instead of relying on the value in kodi db.

On 1 PC I have an Error from Skin Helper Backgrounds (says always to check Log).

Will be fixed in next update

I'm having that exact issue, it's referencing video instead of videos and doesn't do anything on the widget. If I add a widget of shows by title on my home screen I can't access any of them.

Edit: Just realized you mentioned this is handled in videoinfodialog by kodi itself now, so not sure why it's not working.

Did you update to the latest BETA version of the skin + helper addons ?

Skin Helper Background not working anymore with emby librarys when i want to select thumbs in SKINSHORTCUT Selection Menu

Working fine with me.. Please check for errors in your kodi logfile or share your logfile with me.

[User 224999]

- When I listen music, I used to see biography of the artist scrolling at the bottom bar. I have setting for this enabled, but I can't still see the biography anymore. I'm not sure, in which point it broke, but it did work maybe month or two ago.

- I can't change weather icons or fanart, not from inside weather app itself, nor from skin settings. In fact, none of the Advanced settings for changing icons to different groups, is working for me. I would really like to get this working, because I deleted my current icon set for weather, so now I can't see anything in weather app and it's quite useless at the moment.

- Rotten Tomatoes / MetaCritic score in footer. These are not visible anymore, even if the setting is enabled.

This should all work correctly, looks like you're misisng some syuff on your system. Did you install my beta repository ?

Here's the relevant part of the kodi log file: http://pastebin.com/raw/U6Tz6ig7
In my case, i guess it's again an issue with german umlauts, like "ä" in the video node "Filme (Märchen)".

Marcel,

Under dialogvideoinfo, if you select extended info, the fanart is not for the selected movie:

Just rechecked as well.

1) Are the shortcuts to Kodi library locations, so not video addons ?
2) How did you add those shortcuts ? As far as I'm aware of you can't create a widget to a series episodes. Please explain step-by-step what you did in the skin settings so I can reproduce the issue.

this is what is in my database and the imdb id matches to the animated poster website and to imdb itself.

Hmm, strange. It should work then...
Can you try the context menu option once more and after that look in the Kodi log if any errors were reported ?

[scalda]

@marcelveldt i just attached the last part of my log above from using the context menu

Edit: I just reset my database and still nothing

[Innerself]

- When I listen music, I used to see biography of the artist scrolling at the bottom bar. I have setting for this enabled, but I can't still see the biography anymore. I'm not sure, in which point it broke, but it did work maybe month or two ago.

I would really like to get this working, because I deleted my current icon set for weather, so now I can't see anything in weather app and it's quite useless at the moment.

- Rotten Tomatoes / MetaCritic score in footer. These are not visible anymore, even if the setting is enabled.

This should all work correctly, looks like you're misisng some syuff on your system. Did you install my beta repository ?

Thank you for your answer. I wonder what has happened then. I haven't changed much of anything, only installed new betas and updated addons. And like I said, all those things worked month or two ago. I have tried to delete all user-/addon-data, and tried to install the skin clean, but still those things doesn't work. Everything else is working correctly at the moment. I'm currently using the latest beta (3.7.40) installed from your repository. I wouldn't want to start installing Kodi all over again, if there is just some other way to make these things working again. I can also post log-files, if you point me, what you need.

EDIT: I forgot to mention earlier, that with Estuary skin for example, I can change the weather icons. So it only affects your skin. I can't check biography or ratings, because I don't have other skins with these features.

EDIT2: I just uninstalled all of the Titan skin-related addons, plugins, userdata and the skin itself, to make sure it is installed as clean, as it could be. Everything was back to default settings, and all the other functions work, but the problems I listed earlier, still persist. I'm quite clueless.
