Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep researching, but without reproducing the issue, it will take me a long time to figure out.

When running the program, the guide opens up and shows the grid of shows, but the layout is poster view (I am assuming from the size of the icons) and the icons themselves are empty (can just see the poster view outline, no posters)
Using the remote to access the menu does not work, only back button works to take you back to the previous menu
Is the guide view not working? Or is there a setting somewhere I did not see?
At the moment, it's more janky than not working. The add-on had not been developed for a long time, and Marcel took it upon himself to breathe in some more life into it after it outright broke down. He managed to fix most of it, so the add-on does work, but a great many people continue to have issues with it. Basically, the add-on retrieves its data from the free APIs from fanart.tv and the like, available through the meta handlers. In order not to bombard the free services, the process gets stopped when under load, at which point it works poorly in every skin. Since there is no other solution to the add-on's feature set, the only option is to wait until the APIs reset and try again.
The official and recommended solution is to use your own personal API keys for fanart.tv, TVDb, and omdbapi.com and input them in whichever add-on you can, to sidestep these issues and move away from public keys which do get excessive traffic. The best I can do now is try and revise the Next Aired screen to use a different way of retrieving the artwork, in the hopes that Kodi would cache it better or faster, to alleviate some of these issues. I have a few ideas in mind, and I'll try them out. hopefully releasing another microscopic update tonight or tomorrow.
