*update* And another error occured. This particular instance I've simply just had Kodi running, not playing anything or moving throughout menus, just crashes and this is what i've seen in the logs afterwards.

Is anybody using SkinHelper.Player.Rating?

I have this working on my PVR OSD Info Panel, but I've noticed the rating doesn't appear when channel is first opened. I have to switch channel, then switch back before rating is displayed.
I suspect this why the rating is not being displayed on the Info Panel for a couple of TV Catch-up addons I use.
If anybody has any tips on how I might be able to fix this so that rating(s) for player items display immediately when playback is started, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers

has anybody found out why this causes problems on osx 19.2 upwards yet it opens kodi infinity number of times

I would like to fetch the movie cast in a movie viewtype. The cast is stored in the XML of the video, with <actor> and  subtags for name,  role and thumbnail. 
I find the following: https://github.com/sualfred/script.embua...t#get-cast
How do I actually use a plugin like that?

In my variables I have   <variable name="EmbuaryCast"> <value>plugin://script.embuary.helper?info=getcast&type=movie&dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]</value>
In View_502_FanArt.xml I have <control type="textbox"> <label>$VAR[EmbuaryCast]</label>
This just displays the text "plugin://script.embuary.helper?info=getcast&type=movie&dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]" instead of running the script.

replace lines 15, 16, and 17 with

COLORFILES_PATH = xbmcvfs.translatePath("special://profile/addon_data/%s/colors/" % ADDON_ID)
SKINCOLORFILES_PATH = xbmcvfs.translatePath("special://profile/addon_data/%s/colors/" % xbmc.getSkinDir())
SKINCOLORFILE = xbmcvfs.translatePath("special://skin/extras/colors/colors.xml")

only need to change xbmc.translatePath to xbmcfvs.translatePath, will solve.

Hello @Angelinas .

I have recently solved this problem:
https://github.com/kodi-community-addons.../issues/20

Change in "script.skin.helper.widgets" pvr.py.

old:

python:
        if not channellogo:

            channellogo = self.metadatautils.get_channellogo(channelname)

        if channellogo:

            item["art"] = {"thumb": channellogo}

new:

python:
        if not channellogo:

            channellogo = self.metadatautils.get_channellogo(channelname)

        if channellogo:

            if not item.get("art"):

                item["art"] = {}

            if not item["art"].get("fanart"):

                item["art"]["fanart"] = channellogo

            if not item["art"].get("thumb"):

                item["art"]["thumb"] = channellogo

Now the landscape widget also shows fanart or landscape. If fanart or landscape is not present the pvr channel logo is shown.
The old behaviour was, if landscape was set then only a squashed poster was shown, if pvrartwork was present.

With my change, this function "pvr_bg_recordingsonly" is now also active in "script.skin.helper.backgrounds".
It made no difference before my change because it only used my tv recordings as the background image and as the "live tile". now the current tv programme is also included.

Now the problem is that pvr channel logos are no longer displayed via "script.skin.helper.widgets" in kodi nexus.
The problem exists with or without my change.

That concerns: "PVR TV Channels widget"

xml:
plugin://script.skin.helper.widgets/?action=channels&mediatype=pvr&reload=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(widgetreload2)]&channelgroup=1

"PVR Latest Recordings widget" works with nexus, pvrartwork and pvr channel logos are displayed:

xml:
plugin://script.skin.helper.widgets/?action=recordings&mediatype=pvr&reload=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(widgetreload2)]
