New bugs/Old bugs: skin 3.6.41, helper 1.0.59 .... here goes:
1) While I don't expect that it makes sense for the 'Info' button to work on some widgets, I know that we have discussed before that is should work on some ;-). In particular, while the button does work as expected on widgets for TV Shows and Movies (e.g. Next Episode, Recently added Movies), it does not seem to work on Live TV nor Music widgets (e.g. Recently recorded, and Recently Played Albums). I would have expected it to work on all of these widgets since the button is (effectively) acting on an item in the Kodi library. Certainly the button works inside any library view.
2) Backgrounds on the home screen seem to be messed up.
i) While (random, extra fanart) backgrounds for Movies and TV Shows show up promptly when Kodi starts, often backgrounds for live tv, music and photos (also random fanart/pvrart/musicart) sometime take many minutes to appear.
ii) PVR art backgrounds show up on Music, Photo and other tiles. Take a look at this animation:

Note that allthough Movies and TV Shows backgrounds are fine, Music, Photos and System all show a PVR background. Also note that after a few moments, the System background changes to the Weather background (which is correct).
3) Still seeing the issues with the music backgrounds. The following animations will illustrate:

The speed of the background update has been improved, but you can still see a flicker of the homescreen background before the (new) album artist backgrounds appear.

Moving rapidly through the artists shows the 'queuing' problem with the backgrounds.
I would be happy to provide more detail wrt to my configuration, logs (no errors), or other ... just let me know what would help.
thanks,
Lee
PS. Before these tests I was careful to reset the caches for PVR Art, and Music Art, as well as pre-load the music art cache using the options in the skin helper configuration. The speed of some of the transitions may be a little laggy due to the fact that the media and artwork are picked up over a network on my test configuration -- however kodi is locally installed and cached on local hard drive (SSD) so that part should be very fast.
