Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help please. I'm using the Aeon nox silvo skin and I was loving the live tv widgets until they got to kodi 17 beta 3 and stopped working. I can see them there and choose them once your skin helper is installed but the just don't show up anymore.

So I know I should know this... or you may say it is in the read me. I cant figure it out, how do I actually use this script? as you see below I am just trying to show posters... I am using kodi's built in to show on focus to be sure it is something there but I can not get the skin helper to help.... how do I call on it or use it is should say.

Code:

<control type="list" id="9001">
        <onleft>9000</onleft>
        <onright>9001</onright>                        
        <orientation>horizontal</orientation>
        <itemlayout height="300" width="300">
            <control type="image">
                    <width>256</width>
                    <height>256</height>
                   <texture>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.Poster)]</texture>
             </control>
        </itemlayout>
        <focusedlayout height="300" width="300">

Perhaps i found something, i implented by me the “player.listitems“ while playing pvr.
It works fine, but when i pause live tv and start then playing again, all labels, icons are empty....
When i stop the playing and Start again, i get all labels/icons fine.
But why on pause and play again are the labels empty ?

Good catch, will be fixed in next update.

In the skin helper widgets with the uniqueid additions, I think you meant to have the version number as >16 to get krytpon for example:

Yeah, sorry. Just fixed it.

[User 224999]

Thank you very much for adding Episodes Airing Today, I really missed this feature
Have a beer on me
Happy New Year!!!!

Thanks!! Happy new year to you too

[User 224999]

How is the code for requesting this ?

It's added as a subnode in the Skin Helper Widgets Video addon, meaning you can use it as widget

Working fine on my end... Do you have any errors in the log?
If so, please share the error or the logfile with me

You can't use Window Properties as infolabels inside an itemlayout...
You can only use them outside your panels

Marcel,

I finally tracked down my issue with setting skin settings with your script (thanks Angelinas for the hint). Previously (versions before about 100 of your script) if I included a icon entry in the extras/skinsettings.xml file that referenced my skins media directory everything worked fine. Now for example if I use icon="blank.png" the select dialog correctly displays the image and then your script silently fails to write the skin setting. Nothing is shown in the debug log and nothing changes with the skin setting.

Now in my case it's not a biggy, as I generally don't want to display an icon anyway, but it is a change of behaviour from the old script and it was a PITA to track down with no error message in the log.

As always thanks for all your work on this script.
