Release skin helper service
I can't seem to get any skin helper functions to work

<label>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Duration.Hours)]:$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Duration.Minutes)]</label>

does nothing, for example.

<label>$INFO[ListItem.Duration]</label>

is working fine.

The Skin Helper Service is enabled. What am I missing? Do I have to add some configuration to the skin - couldn't find anything in the docs?

If you try to use it in container it's normal it's not working. all property doesn't work in containers.

not always working?
If I use the http-request, there is always a image (if there is one online)
http://localhost:52307/getpvrthumb&amp;title=$INFO[VideoPlayer.Title]&amp;type=clearart
This is not for PVR, but for streams
For now, I'm using the http-request, because it works ...

SkinHelper.Player.Art.Clearart

will be filled if;
1) The playing item has that already as listitem property
2) The content is PVR, you've enabled PVR-artwork and a match was found
3) The content is some other media, you've enabled extended artwork and a match was found

No, not without slowing down the script execution. I'll begin with adding the option to the metadata module, that is the big win.
Fixed in next update.

strip all the "( | ;" from the search-string (e.g. http://localhost:52307/getpvrthumb&amp;title=$INFO[VideoPlayer.Title]&amp;type=clearart) and search afterwards
Explanation from Angelinas here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2637278
It's already like that, it uses both the same logic. TIP: Use ESCINFO instead of INFO to define the title for the web service, it might save you some headaches where some stuff gets stripped off or never reaches the web service.

Thanks!

You don't need any API key, it will all work by default if you use the beta versions of my scripts (see first post for my beta repo).
The stable versions on Kodi repo will be updated asap.

Only if you want to speed up the artwork lookups you will need personal api keys

Useful for compilation.

E.g:
Having 2 folders:
First - "My music folder" with artist folders for my music albums.
Second - "My custom folder" with only artwork for other music artists (with compilation).
I do not want to add artists only from compilation to my misic folder.

Oh well, I understand your request but it's a really difficult one to implement because at that part of the code I have absolutely no idea where the artist originally originated from. My best suggestion would be if you just only use the "download art to my music folders" option. That will never create new folders and only use the existing folders where your music is stored. I guess the custom folder is only for those who either have a very messy music folder structure or just want to have all artwork scraped locally.

The only option I can think of which is a bit in between is a setting "Do not create new folders" which will prevent the script from creating any new artist folders in the custom artwork path.

(2017-08-11, 11:19)JohnyBee Wrote: Skin Helper Service Now:
Eg for music artist Scorpions:
Skin Helper Service copies Artworks to the folder my_music_folder/scorpions
and
Skin Helper Service copies Artworks to the folder my_custom_folder/scorpions (Creates scorpions directory).

Artworks are mirrored.

I do not want Skin Helper Service to copy (and/or create new folder) Artworks to my_custom_folder if the "my_music_folder" artist folder exists.

Well, you have enabled both options so you basically did this yourself. Like I explained above, why not choose between one of the 2 ?
Having them both enabled is a bit overkill if you ask me.

Adding a setting to not download art if the artist is already in the library is not going to work because what happens if you listen to a radio stream or other stream like spotify with an artist that is actually in your library but the album/track is not ?


Suggestion: Set both settings to your music folder. That way you have an all-in one folder structure where both your music and your artwork is stored.
Maybe that together with an option to never create any new artist folders will be what you're after ?

I noticed today that the local cache of images and information for my PVR timers had expired. No big deal until I got to shows where I'd had to do a manual search to get the right artwork and info. When I highlight a show like that it downloads the wrong information again. So every time the cache expires I have a fair number of shows that will download the wrong info. I figure the easiest thing to do is just to set the cache to never expire (or expire very, very rarely). Is there some way to set that? Alternatively, is there some way that the lookup mechanism could remember the manual search params and the artwork I selected?

I get your point. Now it's using the default cache expiration (30 days) for all pvr lookups, regardless if it's a liveTV show, recording etc.
What I will do is follow your suggestion and set the cache expiration to 1 year (or something like that) when you manually override an item.

Secondly, I'm interested in why it's failing on many shows with the auto detect. Do you have very obscure program names?
In the settings for the metadata module there are some interesting regex options which maybe can help you to finetune the scraper to better detect your situation.

Hey Marcel,

I use the cast listing a lot and noticed that it will not populate after a while. The log don't throw any errors, but I assume that it has something to do with the caching. Is there any way to bypass it?

And fetching the cast by ListItem.TvShowTitle (for example) does not work, if the item has a numeric name. I guess the script think it's a DBID. Maybe creating a different argument to select DBID or By Name would solve the issue.

Edit:
Made a quick video with the issue. The cast populates at the beginning but stops after a while on the other items. My logs are empty.

Just use skinhelper.listitem.plot
It will be filled with artist bio or album info if you enabled the scraper
