but tracing not working in all versions.


log for V302B, crashing or closing after some hours maybe after standby i dont know:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uv1ruj7ffunl1u...B.log?dl=0


Ok. Some questions:

1. Any crashes in this log period? If not I need some/one
2. Do you see any Fanart ever?
Not sure what tracing means and something lost in translation.
3. Windows Event viewer may report a FV crash which may be searchable.
4. Are you sure 302B (release less than 12 hours ago) has the same issues?

Review of Log:

FV+ does receive information regarding fan art from Kodi.
Never seem to receive Movie path only ever main path. G:\Meine etc.
Appropriate Fanart either uses default Movie Directory set in settings.xml or default TV set in settings.xml for use when no fanart. Once browsing and have selected a movie should send that movies path, and FV+ will look for extrafanart for that path.
For some reason that path is never received - either you expecting something different or the information is never received. This could be a Kodi issue, a Kodi version issue, or potentially even a skin issue where information isn’t sent.

Have tested against Kodi 18.3/Default skin/English - and correct information is set by the service and received by FV+

Edit:

Ok it seems you have a file structure like this?
G:\Meine Filme\Movie 1.ts
G:\Meine Filme\Movie 2.ts
etc.etc. 'flat-folder'

This is flat-folder is not recommended by Kodi and not supported by FV+:  see here https://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_files/Movies

FV+ needs the recommended folder structure: 
G:\Meine Film\Movie 1 Name \Moviefile.ts
G:\Meine Film\Movie 2 Name\anothernamevideofile.ts
etc.

The Fanart also has to be downloaded somewhere to be displayed by FV+, the Kodi addon extrafanart downloader does this and stores the files
G:\Meine Film\Movie 1\extrafanart\picture1.jpg,fanart2.jpg etc

Without this folder structure there is no Fanart to find.

(Doesn't explain crash - and still would like log with Crash is 1.303 does not fix)

thanks for your explanations.

it crashed/closed in V302B, the version that was some hours old:-)

now im back on V286 that runs without closing.

what is working is random fanart/Fanart Always, but that images are not fitting to the films
im browsing through.

and fanart is working when i play a film, than shows the correct film image.

and what im seeing now, its 9 o clock in germany and the weather
on frontview is displayed with moon icon and moon weather backgroundSmile

now installed V303, lets see what happens. thanks so far!

UPDATE 1
V303 still working, no crash up to now after 12 hours...

UPDATE2
Also after night V303 is running.  No crashing anymore:-) Thanks

UPDATE3 12.8.2019
V303 runs stable. Good Work. Thanks
