It does work on some Recordings, but not on all. A example is "American Ultra".
The http-request finds Clearart, the $INFO-code doesn't find a clearart.
Edit: This is solved by automatic refresh via context menu

In Addition, the images are different for $INFO[..] and the http-request Shouldn't it be the same?

Another strange behaviour:
The ChannelLogo ($INFO-string) isn't working for the channel "Sky Cinema+1 HD".

all tested on v143 from today

works for me, "American Ultra".

Hi Marcel,
Just checking if your beta repo is compatible with Kodi v17.0 Krypton RC? I just upgraded to this version today and have nothing installed as yet, but when I tried to install your latest repo from the Git, I keep getting a pop-up saying 'Failed to Install Addon from Zip File', so wasn't sure if it's actually compatible with this version of Kodi?

Edit: All sorted :-)

[Angelinas]

Will be available in next update, than you can use skinhelper.listitem.posters for multiimage path.

Note 1: posters won't be downloaded to save bandwidth (only on first use by kodi texture cache)
Note 2: you'll have to flush the cache

Not working new Art,

SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.Banners

Yup you'll find it cannot really be used in pvr as (at least with TVHeadend) it is not identifying if it's a movie or episode. In the past I've just assumed it's a movie but then you end up with some very strange results! My advice would be to not use it in pvr

Try this, you can use with all PVR...Marcel set this up

Code:

Hi Marcel,

Can I ask for some help please, got a dev laptop running windows 10 and installed V17 RC2 as portable with all requireds addons but when it runs I get 'Skin helper errors' showing and after checking the log it seems I have a python problem as it same 'Import Error: no module named dateutil'.

Now I've checked and I don't have python itself installed but Kodi comes with xbmc,python so I have no idea what the issue could be.

I now there is something strange going on as it takes several attempts to install anything in Kodi, constant installation failed, checked privileges and they look fine but I have V16 as main install and that is working without issue.

any ideas / pointers on fixing this?, I checked my main HTPC and again no python installed and it is RC2 and working fine, search C: and found dateuitl in script tvshow next aired, installed that on laptop and rebooted but still the same?

Should there be a 'dateutil' folder in adons as I see previous to the error in the log it is getting .arrow from Arrow and that shows \addons\script.module.arrow so should there be a script.moduel.dateutil?

Thanks

Mike,

EDIT: think I fixed it now, found script.module.dateutil on a kodi mirror. Still be nice to know if you have any idea why it was missing? perhaps something to do with the constant installation failed as I presume it is a dependency and just installed with something else?

[badaas]

Alphabet picker broken?

Latest Krypton beta, checked on Titan skin, picker not moving list to required letter.

Me or proved broken?

I want to chip in here and say that I somewhat disagree with the standard practice that has been adopted by the Kodi team to obfuscate the "Dependancy" addons from view within Kodi. There should be an option to show these types of addon within the repository depending on user-level settings as defined in Kodi itself, i.e: 'Advanced / Expert' level (If this is already the case, I've not seen it). As when dependancies fail to install there is no easy way to re-install these dependancy addons without completely quitting Kodi, trawl across to the repo website, download the required addon(s) and then restart Kodi and manually install them.

The notification for failed addons is also so short, it's sometimes the case that when an addon has multiple dependancies, if one fails, the notification is replaced / gone so quickly by subsequent notifications that the end-user is either unaware, or doesn't know specifically which one failed to install, as Mike has alluded to in his post. And only by scouring the logs can one then reasonably determine what's missing.

For less experienced users, I can see the point of hiding dependancy addons to reduce the amount of needless forum spam related to non-working addons or dependancies that are installed in error, but there ought to be the option for advanced tinkerers to bypass this to be able to install dependancies directly via the Kodi repo without having to jump through unessecary hoops to do so.

My 2p.

Gib.

the skinhelper call is:

http://localhost:52307/getpvrthumb&title=$VAR[PVRClearArtNowNextVar]&type=clearart,poster&fallback=empty.png

$VAR[PVRClearArtNowNextVar] is $INFO[VideoPlayer.Title] or $INFO[VideoPlayer.NextTitle]

[Mike_Doc]

Dan, check if the skin you are using has the means to show the event log found in system >> logging. Very helpful for all these installation failures as you should be able to click / select an event and retry.

[User 224999]

Before episodes airing today(formally TV shows Airing Today) was removed, It worked perfectly.

Next update will contain a small fix to make sure only episodes are included that air the same day.

[User 224999]

DialogPVRInfo:
Can anyone explain why this is working always:

Code:

http://localhost:52307/getpvrthumb&title=$INFO[ListItem.Label]&type=clearart

and this doesn't work always. Not all ClearArt images are found. They are found by the upper http-request btw.

Code:

$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.ClearArt)]

and of course, I enabled PVRThumbs and ExtendedArt with
<onload>Skin.SetBool(SkinHelper.EnablePVRThumbs)</onload>
<onload>Skin.SetBool(SkinHelper.EnableExtendedArt))</onload>

Hmm, that's strange because they both use the exact same method to retrieve the images.
Maybe it is hitting some ignore filter.
Please test the following:

1) Use the contextmenu to auto refresh the artwork and see if it returns the art.
2) If no art is returned with the auto refresh, try again with the manual artwork
3) Please look at $INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Title)] does it show the correct title ?

Best to start with some debug images inside one of the PVR windows and if that is working test with PVR Info Dialog.
There might as well be some issue going on that in combination with that dialog altough I must say that in my own setup it works correctly.
