Just want to add that I deleted add-on folder and downloaded newest from repo.... I have the skin.widget configs set to only populated 15 items . It really take 3 fully mins before it shows. I am not getting any errors in the log either. I am using $INFO[ListItem.Art(poster)] to get the poster to show.... I am on a custom window as well... I have tried the $INFO[Window(home). Property (SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.Poster)] thinking maybe help speed it up but I can't make that work at all.

Is there a $INFO for the ChannelLogo of a playing recording?
$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Player.Art.ChannelLogo)] does not work.
Thx
Edit:
And I miss a option to save the PVR-Artwork, like in skinhelper x.100

Found a small issue with the genre webservice.
The order direction is wrong since a while and it won't start with the first available item anymore.
Example:
Action
First item in the genre folder: 2 Fast 2 Furious
Result of the web service -> Ant-Man (23rd position in the genre directory)
Animation
First item in the genre folder: Aladdin
Result of the web service -> Asterix - Operation Hinkelstein (3rd position in the genre directory)
Main: Lancool II Mesh - Ryzen 9 5900x - MSI x570 Unify - Zotac RTX 3080 AMP HOLO - 32GB Trident Z Neo 3600 CL16 - EVO 960 M.2 250GB / EVO 940 250GB / MX100 512GB / Crucial P1 2TB / WD Blue 3D Nand 2TB
Sound: Saxx AS30 DSP - Beyer Dynamic Custom One Pro
TV: Nvidia Shield 2019 Pro- Adalight 114x LEDs - Sony 65XG9505 - Kodi / Emby - Yamaha RX-V683 - Heco Victa 700/101/251a + Dynavoice Magic FX-4

Well I had it right the whole time but I just waited this time and it takes 2 or 3 mins for the widget to populate... Is there a reason for this or am I just doing something totally wrong... I am on Kodi 17 PC is windows 10 i5 with 12gb ram so this shouldn't be a issue... Using Kodi normal playlist as widget works find other then not being about to show tv and movies in the same widget together. Which is why am using this in progress media
It should take about 1 to 2 seconds for the widget to populate.
I don't know which widgets you are testing ? If you're testing with music / pvr widgets and you've enabled the artwork scraping that will have impact big time if there is no data in the cache yet.

It sends many "down"-clicks and this is the same as you where hitting "down" on the remote fast repeatedly. That's why skinhelper does call a request on every entry you scroll through. BTW: the Full EPG/Guide has no scrollbar. At least on AeonNox(Silvo)
Can you limit the BG-requests to ~5 or something like that? Then it wouldn't eat up almost the whole CPU on low-spec devices while searching in the BG.
Please test yourself in your skin and show an image or label somewhere if the condition is met.
It should should evaluate to true if you're indeed scrolling rapidly (holding down the Arrow key).
Limiting the backgrounds requests is over complicating stuff and will cause user confusion.
The proper way to solve it is to not do any queries at all if you're scrolling/navigating fast through the list.
Maybe I should also add the OnNext/OnPrevious conditions ?

Something that just pops in my mind is that perhaps it will not work for the PVR guide...

See my previous reply, it should take a few seconds only

Looks like a race condition to me. The image is not yet there when the webservice tries to serve it.
Do you have the downloading of images enabled ?

I've had to disable the API key for this add-on temporarily as I'm running close to my bandwidth limit on the server.
7,579,252 hits in the last 36hrs from 40,000 unique users.
Seems to be on the album-mb.php and searchtrack.php methods.
Is there any chance this can be made more efficient by caching or something? Its currently using 5 x more than the main Kodi universal scraper
You can do tests with testkey api "1" if needed until this is resolved.
Sorry, the new version did not yet hit the repo. The new version has extensive caching for all methods.
I will do my best to push out the updated version this week. Sorry for the inconvenience.
