New versions are now populating to the repo.

To clear the cache completely:

delete folder script.module.simplecache in userdata\addon_data

That's cool, I don't suppose one of those new features would be to easily extract a file name from a skin string that contains a file path. I'm trying to auto fill names for home screen items by pulling the file name from the path to the list item, but your string split function does not seem usable for this.

Basically looking to remove the file extension from the last level of a file path and use that as a default name for a home item.

I can extend the split string method with a splitright ?
That will split the string on your desired character but will return the last result (most right)

Marcel,

Have been busy (as it would seem you are based your the forum traffic) so only just noticed this. My first quick look at the wiki suggested that your getfilename function was what I should use, but I guess that only applies to the built in Kodi file path listitem. So either providing an additional optional parameter for a skin string or property in your getfilename function, or as you suggest providing a splitright flag in the splitstring function.

Really upto you on that mate, whatever is easiest for you to provide would be fine with me.

1.PVR google lookups aren't working.
2.They don't seem to be automatically scraping
3.Manually scrape and select a google image as a thumb, using Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.Thumb) displays the the channel Logo and not the google thumbnail.
4. Download artwork to folder is not working either...
5. if no artwork is found, selecting "manually configure artwork" crashes with skinhelper error
6. Ever since the update my RPi has been running high temperatures
7. Widgets are reloading every single time i exit a window back to Home ( might be causing the high temperatures)
8. The tvdb is the only scraper that seems to auto scrape, imdb results are not populated unless you refresh (manual lookup) and google results only work when manually refreshed but don't show using Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.Thumb)
9. PVR channels widget should show the channel logo if no artwork is found... At the moment it shows nothing.

Hi marcelveldt,
good job.

Kodi Jarvis.
Script.Skin.Helper.Service ver. 1.0.119 from your repository (cache is cleared)

For radio striming (bug):
- Script.Skin.Helper.Service reads the author and the title of the first song played.
- Script.Skin.Helper.Service not change the author and the title for the next played songs (same stream).
- All properties remain the same as for the first song played (same stream).

ps. version 1.0.100 worked properly

[JohnyBee]

Hi marcelveldt.
Will Script.Skin.Helper.Service work properly for many artist separated by signs &, feat, feat. ...... (for library and radio stream)?

[JohnyBee]

Hi marcelveldt.

Small bug:
In file \addons\script.module.skin.helper.artutils\lib\helpers\musicartwork.py
line 299 is:
etails["art"]["artistthumb"] = thumbnail
should be:
details["art"]["artistthumb"] = thumbnail

and

line 313 is:
album = result["album"]
should be:
album = item["album"]

ps. Again, good job!

Hi Marcel,

Tested and ok rottentomatoes and mc.

Sorry Marcel,

think you might have a small bug with alphabet jump function. When I select a letter from the list I get a busydialog and the following in the log file. Other than that, nothing happens.

PHP Code:

ERROR: PlayMedia could not play media: plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=alphabetletter&letter=D 


Running version 1.0.119 of skin helper on Windows 10, Kodi beta 5.

I have not changed the code from that used with 1.0.100 (and is basically your code as listed on the wiki) which worked fine.

Can you try this:

RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=stripstring,splitchar=-.string=YOURINPUTSTRINGHERE,output=ShortCast,index=-1)

Notice the index= -1 parameter of the splitstring method

Just requesting this again incase you missed it.

Hello Marcel

Been loving your addon since day 1

Is there a way to have a theme come up for certain dates?

Like a Christmas theme that shows from 1st-dec to 31st-dec

Or a birthday theme for family birthdays

And is there a way to set a theme manually via the skinner without using the dialog to select a theme?

Also could you make a list of themes change at random with time intervals?

I know you are busy cleaning up the code and making different modules.

Thanks for your time.

Hello, I have some problem with CPU loading on my NAS Synology with this service. There is a lot queries to database witch loading NAS CPU if choose any theme using Skin Helper Service.
When I stop this servise everything is ok but many skins are dependent on that.



I use the NAS as my db Server (MariaDB) for storing a lot of movies, so SQL queries below are endless:

How to avoid this queries? Can I disable this feature?

Tested with Kodi Jarvis themes and Krypton themes. For example, Estuary skin does not make slq queries but Estuary MOD does.
