I modified the estuaryPlus skin (Kodi 17.1 under win10) to display the video duration (in minutes) next to the file name in a video listing by using:
This works fine, although minutes is not the most convenient unit for videos. I would rather have hours:minutes so in an attempt to do that I installed the skin helper service and then changed the line above to:
However with that line, nothing at all is displayed. What could be causing this problem? Am I calling the skin helper service correctly?
To make sure I have it installed properly I went to "Addons", then "My add-ons", the "Context menus" and I see the Skin Helper Service (marcelveldt - 1.1.3) with a check mark next to it. I assume that means I have it installed. Is there anything else I need to do to allow the skin to make a call such as the one I show above?
Thanks
