Great buddy! It Works
Could you also have a look at the artworks for Live TV for the old madnox?
Mr.V couldn't find it but his concentration is also on Aeon 2.0

It has something to do with the skin helper service, I think.
I think it'll be a little something for you.

Thanks!

@mikeSiLVO and @Slipass

Currently working with views in madnox 2.0 and am looking at PVR. So now the issue and solution to the PVR artwork.


For the Kodi REPO verson of skin helper service;

All the PVR info labels are like this;

Code:

Window(home).Property(SkinHelper.PVR.Thumb)

(Thumb being what the artwork type is)

Skin helper is downloading the artwork and it can be seen in the context menu "Artwork options". The property is never filled and the wiki property's do not fill either (which are different to what is in aeon madnox)

This works;

Code:

http://localhost:52307/getpvrthumb&title=$ESCINFO[Listitem.Title]&type=thumb

Some where along the road, a kodi repo update changed something. (or possibly my install)


For the marcelveldt's BETA REPO;

Change any property's like this;

Code:

Window(home).Property(SkinHelper.PVR.Thumb)

To this;

Code:

Window(home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.Thumb)

If you need compatibility between the Kodi REPO and the marcelveldt's Beta REPO

Use This;

Code:

http://localhost:52307/getpvrthumb&title=$ESCINFO[Listitem.Title]&fallback=$ESCINFO[ListItem.Icon]&type=thumb

Note the 'fallback=". Kodi considers the image to be never empty even if skin helper returns no image. So in the above example it will return the channel icon if no image is found.


EDIT: Give me some time and i can update the xml's. I need to sort out 2.0 first.
So if you would like me to update them, it is a question of what option is preferred? Backwards compatibility or Beta repo compatibility?

EDIT2: I think i still have push rights to aeon madnox so that could be the way?        

@Mr. V 
Great, great, great. Really great work.

Unfortunately I didn't understand 100% what the difference is (my English isn't perfect)
What exactly are the advantages and disadvantages?
Isn't it better to have the compatibility of both versions?

From my point of view the artworks have to be added automatically and a fallback to the channel logo is also important.

Really good work.       

 @Slipass @mikeSiLVO 

Backwards compatibility is certainly better.
But the code for backwards compatibility is not how it is intended to be coded.

Saying that;
I believe the main issue is Skin Helper Service is not being maintained due to time restraints from @marcelveldt. It is unknown when there will be an update to the kodi repo for the beta versions. 
I do hope the beta repo will be merged to the kodi repo in time.
Marcelveldt's beta repo works better for most things. The main issue i have found is music artwork for internet streams. It is a bit hit and miss.

I have have not posted any issues in the Skin helper forum as i am waiting to see if @marcelveldt will in the future get back to bugs fixes and improvements. (I do not want my posts to get lost in the sea of questions/bugs as i have quite a few)

In general, i would think most people will be using the beta versions of skin helper as it really does work best with aeon madnox.

So;
Answering your questions i have answered my own. I will update the pvr xml's and push to git.
