Yes. First I added the repo, then I had the Bingie Mod repo available. Then to Look and feel > Skin and from there tried to install the skin. But there I got the error. I also tried manually installing but got the same error

And you have internet on that device? I'm just asking because it happened that people don't have a net and they try to install it.

Yes, I do. Without internet it also wouldn't be able to open the repo

Its actually a straightforward task, the secret is to do all Internet related work first!.

Using a flashdrive on a computer connected to the internet

Install Kodi to E: (for this example) and before starting, select the Kodi folder >> create a shortcut of Kodi.exe

Open shortcut


Add '-'p to E:\Kodi\kodi.exe, click Apply >> close shortcut

Copy the shortcut to the root folder



Click shortcut and this will create a folder caller portable_data





Any repositories. . .addons etc. must be added first.

You now have the means to copy a bare version of Kodi to a machine not connected to internet.

New machine copy Kodi folder and shortcut, open shortcut and change drive letter - be warned any on-line functions such as scrappers will not function

You are then able to select media from your local drives, please check the Kodi wiki for the naming conventions. . .nfo files etc.

If you were networked you can use local IP addresses

But... That's not the issue 🤔. I do have internet on the device. And it's in fact an android device. But I get some kind of python error trying to install the skin...

Matrix does NOT use xbmc.python version 2.24.0 - it is Python 3

Yes, I know. But I still get this error. I have Kodi v19.1 and get this error trying to install the Matrix version of this skin :/

This was not a clean install of Matrix and(or) you will see this issue if a Kodi addon tries to update to a new addon version that is trying to access a newer version of Python than what is currently installed..

Download from https://kodi.tv/download/android and install on a clean device

[iDutchy]

This was not a clean install of Matrix.

Download from https://kodi.tv/download/android and install on a clean device

It was tho? I literally got this device like 2 days ago and immediately installed v19.1 🧐

Ok, let's check the addons you are using as there are compatibility issues with third-party ones - did you download from Kodi?

If they are on this list https://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Forum_ru...ed_add-ons, we can't help

I'm not sure, I'll check when I get home. If I remember correctly I did use some kodi page for installation instructions, but I'll double check when I get home. But I doubt I have blacklisted add-ons

Something is off so lets eliminate the obvious, download everything from a genuine Kodi source

Do a clean install of Matrix
follow instructions for installing mod repository
select look and feel - install skin

If it installs correctly the issue was with one of your addons as all you'll need is installed for you, an extra could be Artwork Beef Matrix

I've done a new clean install and added this as first repository. Now it does seem to be working, thanks

I am about to quite skin helper base skins for Library Items .
Clean installed Kodi multiple times , scrape Library of 15000 items using Universal Movies Scrapper ,
When install Bingie and load with widgets suddenly CPU went Blasting . Checked multiple times . I can only guess SHW is a culprit or may be i am wrong but  it never happened with Kodi 18.   



and this is Arctic Zephier Resurrection without Skin Helper & CPU under 10%

It’s happening with big libraries

Copy (myvideo119.db) and paste it any ware in your hard disk
After that deleted (myvideo119.db)
And restart kodi and past (myvideo119.db) back again

First of all myvideo119.db cant be deleted while Kodi on .
I closed Kodi and copy myvideo119  and paste in other hard drive
then delete it 
then again pasted ( no sense coz its a same file )
open kodi  CPU Blasted again  .

one think there is 3 myvideo119.db & myvideo199.shw & myvideo119.wal


Edit : In one attempt When i deleted myvideo199 and restart Kodi without Paste then it has No Library Items skin working fine CPU less then 5% but when i Pasted and refresh skin library items came and CPU went 100%

After deleting myvideo.db you should restart kodi
You don’t need to copy myvideo199.shw & myvideo119.wal

And one more thing you can delete myvideo.db while kodi is running if you use coreelec
