Just fixed that. Will be available in next beta update.

Disable animated artwork in your skin, it's an optional feature.
Once disabled, no animated art will be retrieved from the net.

Give it some time to build the cache. It will be faster once settled.

For example with the skin aeon madnox

Skins have to be adjusted to support the latest version of skinhelper.
While it is still beta currently, it's allready pending to be submitted to the kodi repo so I suggest you to ask support for it to the skin dev from your skin.

Well today the plot doesn't show up anymore and I haven't changed anything.... is this pull info off the internet yesterday and today it isn't?

Did you perhaps disable the musicart in your skin ? Note that it's a skin bool you have to set in order to enable the music artwork retrieval.

No, it's in the language file of Kodi itself.

What do you mean ? Favourites widgets are working fine on my setup.
If it's still in error, do you see any errors in your kodi logfile ?

Strange, it should really show the latest recordings first. Maybe your skin is applying some sort of sorting order to the widget ?
Can you test it with another skin that supports skinshortcuts + skinhelper ?
As a reference I can suggest my beta Titan skin (also on my beta repo) as I test all skinhelper stuff in that but there are really a lot of skins that support it.

That would be a skin issue...

Well, that depends... The old version or the new version.
The old version (current version on Kodi repo) had become a mess with all features added and had some caching but not enough.
I did a complete rewrite of all code that has been tested now for several months with much better structured code, proper caching and a splitup into multiple modules to keep myself and the code sane.

This new version is currently pending repo submission.

Feel free to send ma a PM to discuss it more in detail.

It works fine for all animated posters, but I'm experiencing some troubles with the animated fanarts. For a lot of movies (not all) Kodi doesn't show the animated fanart anymore (for example Back to the Future collection). Since using the new version of your skinhelperservice on Jarvis (Android), the standard jpg fanart is often missing (black background) Any idea what causes this? Regards MB1968

Animated fanart is very rare so don't expect too much of it. For the missing standard fanart.jpg, that's not an issue of this script.
Maybe try the contextmenu to manual refresh an item ?

Thanks, just fixed that. Will be fixed in the next version
Note that the info is stored in the cache so you'll have to make a change to make it refresh. Easiest is to simply mark a movie in the set watched/unwatched.
I hope to upload the new beta later tonight or tomorrow.

Hey,

Yeah I have tried it with Titan too and it is the same. Seems to show random old recordings, can't see any order to it.

Maybe a problem with NextPVR ?
