@grote345 : Yeah but that should only increase the boot time by a couple of seconds, just so that all the images load properly.
Thanks! and have you tried re-installing youtube from the XBMC store ?
And that's weird, the rssclient should be working fine now. Could you go in to the youtube section, close XBMC and then upload a copy of your log please ? as this could help on finding out the problem. Also when you enter the youtube section it will attempt to load the client.
And nope it should all be working fine. Unless XBMC is blocked from connecting to the internet or something like that lol.
@johnb : I think that i have finally found a solution for the problem. After of hours of testing out different things across different versions of XBMC i have finally found out that it is a corrupted file that extendedinfo creates some times. This creates a problem with extendedinfo, and then creates a problem with simplejson. But i have created a nice little python script that will do clean ups for extendedinfo and will stop it from ever getting corrupted. I have also added a cool new feature where if something fails then a little window will popup helping you fix the problem. E.g. if you don't have internet connection it will pop up with a little window letting you know that you have lost connection and it will ask if you want to retry connecting. If you are getting script errors with a certain script then it will ask if you would like it to re-install the script and clear addon data ect.
I should be uploading the update some time tomorrow, but for now if you go in to (C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data) and delete the folder called extendedinfo.
Then run the fix option in the development section of the skin settings then this should fix the problem for now. The next update will clear everything up for you so that you shouldn't get script errors and stuff like that.
And as for the widgets if you uninstall it from the XBMC store and re-install it it should fix the problem, if not then you can just remove it as the only thing that it is required for is displaying random album and movie information for your library on the dashboard. But if you don't have this feature enabled then you don't really need it.
And yeah i always run with admin rights and UAC is disabled.
@Daisuke1988 : Nope not at the moment but this feature will be getting added soon in to the skin settings so that you can pick where the store tiles take you e.g. movies could take you to your movie library or to the movie store ect. I think that ADHDMedia suggested this a few days ago. And thanks!
Also in the next update i will try and include a thumbnails cleaner. This will clean up the thumbnails folder that XBMC creates and stores all thumbnails inside. I think that mine previously was around 4GB and now i think it's something like 200mb. But i still need to test this out on different platforms & builds first as it could cause problems if it deletes the wrong images.
I will also be adding more buttons to the development section for you to clear addon data, clear temp files and options to backup and restore your settings.
