 Ratings for us are not caching and do take a minimum of 5-10 seconds. Fanart.tv not working. Extra Fanart rotating stopped working since Fanart.tv stopped working even if Movie Set files are stored locally

It might help if you can explain your set up including:
- Which repositories you are using,
- What settings you use your skin media page
- What settings you are using for addons Universal Scraper, ArtBeef and Metamedia

This is a great Skin. But it's just not working as well as it could be for me and for many others.

Regards and Thanks 

Skinhelper use simple cache to store the online lookups, by using its modules .e.g. metadatautils.
(e.g. for Ratings, animated art,infos, etc....)
The refresh rste is 30 days.

I am not on pc to debug some stuff.
But the cache will also work on your side IF THE DATA IS CACHED ALREADY.


(ps: it has may sound harsh, but telling "So it definitely not uses the cache, it just fills it up but that's it."
just confuses people like you and many others.

Thats why i keep the answer that short.

I'm. not the dev of skinhelper, nor fanart.tv.
(Skinhelper wich is really big and uses a lot dependencies )

I am aware of some issues, in your case rotating fanart, where i aswered i need to investigate.Also it seems a new issue.

And yeah, the skin/mod has more potential but IT NEEDS TIME TO SET IT UP.
It's not finished, nor perfect.

Dont take it personal nor as offend. 

I realised that it must be that the Cache fills up. I know that I have said this many times before but the rotating fanart definitely did work on your previous release but it only seems to work with fanart.tv. Now that fanart.tv has stopped working with this skin the functionality has stopped. It would be great if we could get it working with the local movie set directory.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. No offence taken at all

Yepp, i will see whats causing the lag, maybe its just server side issue on fanart.tv

And side note if it wasnt clear, the cache is used for certain things, not just one specific
(Info stuff for sets, movies,shows, omdb infos, special ratings,....)
