Thank you very much one more time for the update of the movies RightList view
To my mind, even when the plot text is rather short it looks still pretty. Anyways, most of the times the movie plot given by e.g. a TMDB scrape is long enough to fill the text box.
I found another problem today... After I added some new movies to my lib, I recognized that no extrafanart was loaded for those, although the images have been downloaded into the correct folder before. The skin showed me extrafanarts of another movie instead. Reloading the skin didn't help, nor did restarting Kodi.
Seems that extrafanart pictures aren't found for library items without a corresponding .nfo file in which these are defined.
Assuming that this is the reason, I will now export my whole library into separate files in order to solve this, because you cannot create .nfo files for the new movies only. Having to do that for the complete lib each time new content is added would be kind of annoying...
This can happen sometimes when Skin Helper was updated and didn't start up properly. The skin itself doesn't load the extrafanart, the skin helper finds the images automatically, and does this only when the links are in the database, no matter the scraping method. I never use nfo files, so this shouldn't be an issue. And I'm certain that you don't need to go through the trouble of re-scraping everything using nfo's!
I think two or three things can fix the issue.
1. Do a library update, then restart Kodi. This should knock Skin Helper on the head and have it register the proper files.
2. Go to the ExtendedInfo of the troublesome items, and use the "Refresh" button to force a re-download / re-scrape for each movie. The re-scrape should also fix the issue.
3. If you don't want to update the items, or if both of the previous ideas didn't work, use the script.toolbox add-on from MikeSilvo's GitHub. It forces an artwork update to the entire database, and it adds-in what you have downloaded. Kodi usually does this automatically, but it's a good tool to have in such cases.
