please use for Leia version this https://github.com/kodi-community-addons....

If this msg was for me, consider me lost.

So where do I get support for this addon then? I never had any issues before, until today. Sorry @Angelinas, I am just confused. If the version I was using worked, then why would I need the version you directed me to?

Thanks,

Shedrock

You use @latts9923 repo....

That module provide webservice...and you can have art Property in list...Kodi can't do this.
You can have images for all kind of label, I use for director image, and much more(now in Matrix is broken)

@Angelinas 

I have a mistake with music slideshow at "Titan-Mod Matrix".
The error is caused by "\addons\script.module.metadatautils\lib\helpers\musicartwork.py".

I use "script.module.metadataUtUtils-1.0.39"

If I use the "musicartwork.py" from version 1.0.35 the error is gone and the music slideshow works.

Log with error:

@Angelinas 
Is 'get cast' broken for the skin helper?
I have a variable using following code which worked in Leia, but hasn't worked for sometime since I upgraded to Matrix:-

xml:
<variable name="OSDCastVar">

<value condition="VideoPlayer.Content(movies)">plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=getcast&amp;movie=$INFO[VideoPlayer.Title]</value>

<value condition="VideoPlayer.Content(episodes)">plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=getcast&amp;tvshow=$INFO[VideoPlayer.TvShowTitle]</value>

</variable>

[Angelinas]

Is 'get cast' broken for the skin helper?

Nop, stil working...I tested in old estuary mod V2(new mod for matrix have missing content in Custom_1122_ActorsList.xml and variables in skin code)

[Dumyat]

Yup, I'm also using the same custom_1122_ActorsList.xml from Guilouz's original skin mod. Content target path is set to above mentioned variable. Hmmm, strange it's working for you, but not for me.  Maybe updating SHS addon and modules from what I'm currently using might make difference.   
Btw, is the web service still unavailable or did that get fixed?
Also, using local artwork for my PVR items is working like a charm.

@Angelinas 
Yup, the version I was running was indeed quite out of date (1.1.31). Updated to 1.1.35 and now cast artwork working again. Seems to be a lot faster than before as well....  Did you see my question also about the webservice? Is that still unavailable?
Thanks again 
Cheers

[Angelinas]

Did you see my question also about the webservice? Is that still unavailable?

Yes, that is only service down for now.All of Marcel idea are back in work for Matrix.
I have trouble with cherrypy...Can't make this webservice full operated for Matrix.....Maybe i will back on "HTTPServer" insted of cherrypy.

One question for all user:
Have some trouble with Widget,some times working some time not...I am lost without more info.

Can somebody test is the "play" or "resume" button in dialog video info working for widget provided by script.skin.helper.widgets.(need info version of kodi 19 or 20, what skin and what action for s.h.w.)
If I test from list-panel all working, but from dialog....?!?? I need to know is this script isue or Kodi
For test, DialogVideo info open from Home screen or from addon browser (for Movies, episodes and mediamixed).
 tnx

Hello Angelinas

I will try all problems to post.

With Cherrypy I have problems, I had to downgrade to "Version 11.0.1 Matrix". It seems to be hardware dependent?!
Log file follows.
