Hi skybird.

I probably will at some point, bit I'm a bit hesitant when it's not yet an official addon.
When I have some spare time, I'll look into it.

It's still possible to get artwork downloader working in Kodi 18.

jup just want to ask. thanks for your fast answer.

@Gade Hi Gade, many thanks for this great skin.  Would it be possible to add an option to sort widget by name? most addons show A-Z correctly but some show in a random order.

Hi TonyBirt.

Thanks for the kind words and support.

Which exact widgets are you referring to?

And which addons sort in a random order?

[TonyBirt]

@Gade Widgets for addons "Unofficial BigBox Kodi Addon" and "Google Music addon" (top charts, new releases) widgets.

@Gade Widgets for addons "Unofficial BigBox Kodi Addon" and "Google Music addon" (top charts, new releases) widgets.

Hi TonyBirt.

Sorry about the late answer.

Do you add these addons as custom widgets in the skin settings?

I'm trying not to pollute the already overwhelming skin settings with too many options.

Hardcoding widget content sorting by name will conflict with other addons.

Nothing's wrong with that bool and many skins have been using it for ages.

Look in the wiki in the above link where it's described.

It's exactly that bool that's creating the issues. Many views and conditions throughout the skin rely on it.
When I change the bools to String.IsEqual(Skin.String(string1),string2) everything is working again.

Can you tell me what's buggy, which is NOT related to that bool?

Beter here

You use
https://github.com/gade01/Rapier/blob/d0....xml#L1089

Code:

[code]Skin.String( CommonDVDThumbsStyle ,)

In skinsetting.xml you have empty string (I use first time skin)

Code:

    <setting id="commondvdthumbsstyle" type="string"></setting>

In code if is empty  that line will be selected, but condition isnt working.
If you use onclick your string will be set "1" and all wil working.

Solution is to change

Code:

Skin.String(string1,)

in to

Code:

String.IsEmpty(Skin.String(string1))

only for that code...
===============================================
this code working in example line

Code:

Skin.String(CommonDVDThumbsStyle,1)

this code Notworking in example line (if is string empty)

Code:

Skin.String(CommonDVDThumbsStyle,)

@Angelinas

Thanks a lot for helping.

I just discovered exactly the same and fixed it here: https://github.com/gade01/Rapier/commit/...0af7c67e5c

Those bools were working before PR13754 and were introduced in Rapier long before I took it over.
I haven't given it much thought and have just been using them ever since.

Off course String.IsEmpty(Skin.String(string)) is much better code practice.

String String String... sounds like underpants of women (thanks  for fixing it)

@Gade I add the "Unofficial BigBox Kodi Addon" as a custom widget, and it organizes the list in a random order.   This seems to be an issue with this addon only, it happens in other Kodi 18 skins I have tried as well.

[Gade]

Hi TonyBirt.

Thanks for the info.

You're right, if it happens in other skins as well it's an add-on issue, and not a skin issue.

Hi Gade
all Videos + Live get now the 3D Buttons. Seems not be right (in Live TV we have not enough Space for all Buttons anyway)
Edit: Fixed, was a Kodi Bug^^
