Need a Hint!

Problem with Remote Extrafanart. Did waist hours nd couldnt get this to Work.

i've set as recomended '

xml:
<onload condition="true">Skin.SetBool(SkinHelper.EnableExtraFanart)</onload>

in Home.xml

and

xml:
$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.ExtraFanArt)]

in a multiimage Control.
In Theory easy. But This way i get only Extrafanart from the Local "Extrafanart-Folder".

so i've added

xml:
<onload condition="true">Skin.SetBool(SkinHelper.EnableExtendedArt)</onload>

to,
but noch change.

i've added the SkinHelper property to a Label controll, to see what it returns. And it returns only the Path to the Local Folder! (no Remote Extrafanart)
i had a look at other skins where Remote Extrafanart works, but couldnt finde out what them do differenttly(?/!)
does it have to be so hard? What do i have to do, to display Remote Extrafanart? (Kodi Leia 18.5/18.7 and Skinhelper from the beta repository)

so why? doesnt that work?

[Atamans]

Try,

$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Player.Art.ExtraFanArt)]


<variable name="YourExtaFanarVar">
     <value condition="!String.IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Player.Art.ExtraFanArt))">$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Player.Art.ExtraFanArt)]</value>
     <value condition="!String.IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.ExtraFanArt))">$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.ExtraFanArt)]</value>
     <value>$INFO[ListItem.Art(fanart)]</value>
</variable>

Hi

Novice looking for some help

I'm trying to get script.module.metadatautils working with Matrix

In one case I get the following error:
listitem = xbmcgui.ListItem(label=label, iconImage=thumb, label2=item["overview"])
TypeError: 'iconImage' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

I understand that iconImage has been replaced by setArt in Kodi 19.

What I can't fathom out is how to change the line of code above to work.

Any help appreciated

Did you not try

Code:

?

Many thanks for tip. Why didn’t I think of that?

That’s moved me along a bit.

Hey

I downloaded this through the add_ons section on Kodi. I love it, thanks so much! I just have one problem, but I might be being stupid. I was using it perfectly fine and it was showing under next episodes the episode after the one I had most recently watched even though I had not watched the first season on Kodi but then I cleared my library completely, cleaned it and reupdated it but it now seems like it no longer works the way before. If for example you start watching season 2 of a tv show and you finish episode 1, before it would have season 2 episode 2 under next episode now instead it tells me that the next episode is in fact season 1 episode 1. Obviously I can mark all episodes before my point as watched (and did do that in the end) but it doesnt work very well for a lot of shows, where I might dip in and out. This could also just be the way it is supposed to work but I remember pretty clearly it working the other way before. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again for this basically essential add on.
I should note also that I am using Kody Leia 19.

Thank you!

You use some bad version of skin helper skinbackup 1.0.22. ?!?
Use version 1.0.19 from https://github.com/kodi-community-addons that version working on mine Android.

I have some free time, and will do some maintenance in https://github.com/kodi-community-addons .
I will close all "issues" and pull request to create version with some fixes in new branch "leia".

Master branch will be ready for python 3 (base will be new leia branch,) and open for pull request.

Some of fixed part will be part of new branch:
- Usage: $INFO[Window(Home).Property(NAME-OF-PROPERTY)] for pvr and music widget don't show cache when open dialogs.
- $INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.Player...don't show art and info for internet stream.
- alow info from theaudiodb using part without api keys (now is restricted only for patron user)
- add some new art and label in scrapers
- pvr will use all cache info and art, not just art.
-.....

Hi Guys. Awesome addon, but I'm having exactly the same problem with Kodi 18.8 on Android 9 on my Air96 box - get a Skin Helper Backup error ;-(

I've tried different versions, but always get an error - cannot backup or restore.

[AnonTester]

Try the version of the PR I opened back in February with various fixes and Kodi19 compatibility. It should be compatible with both Kodi 18 and 19, but I don't use Kodi 18.

Source v1.0.25:

@Angelinas if you've got some time to look at the various kodi-community addons, plese don't just close all PRs and invalidate the work put in by others, but look at them and merge where appropriate. I spent quite some time on several to get them working again, all PR'd.
