I'm also running 19.5 on android. I downloaded from the Kodi website there are two versions one for 32 bit and one for 64 you want the 64 bit version for the Shield the 32 for just about everything else. I used a thumb drive to upload the 19.5 version to my Xiaomi Mi box I'll do it over my network when I update my Shield due to the Android 12 basically breaking the ability to access folders in Kodi via file manager apps. Things were a bit wonky when I first set things up with the Highlight widget but sorted itself out after messing around with the settings a bit. I'm still using the previous version of Bingie Mod on my Shield as my daily driver while working on setting up the new build to my liking on the Mi box. It takes forever to scrape all my TV shows, I'm on day 4 and it's still scraping away. Once everything is scraped and I fix all the Artwork to my liking I'll transfer my build to my Shield and other android boxes by copying the Addons and Userdata folders and pasting them into each device.

Hi,
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I just can't get the skin to install. A dependency is missing (The DBTV API v2)
First I had reinstalled the 19.3 version on Win 10 and now 19.5. Both get stuck on API v2. The API v2 dependencies are actually all installed.
Iam cufused.

Hey what's up guys! Been a long time. I've been using a really old version on Leia, the same one I last worked on (except mine is actually modified to get TMDB helper integration and a couple of other minor changes). I thought I'd jump into see what's new and it looks like you guys have been busy. I was really interested to see what this release is like so I downloaded Matrix 9.5 on Windows and did a completely fresh install, just installing the repository and the skin. Strangely, I had dependency issues straight away so I did another fresh install of both Kodi and the repository and I managed to get the skin installed. But before I got to even see what's new I encountered a new problem. My keyboard just stops registering inputs. It will still make the usual Kodi "click" and "woosh" sounds but without doing anything else at all so I can't navigate anything.
I restored to default Kodi and installed the skin again, this time keeping the mouse enabled so I can navigate and it seems that I can get the keyboard work again by first using the the mouse to navigate, at which point the keyboard becomes temporarily functional but soon fails again. The only place it doesn't fail is in the settings menu.
Any ideas??
EDIT: Never mind, it seems that the bug is only present when there is no content. As soon as I loaded up some spotlight content and a widget, the problem seems to have disappeared. Going to give it a bash now and report back

Hey What's up man! Yep, already did that but it's all good now. As soon as I loaded up some content for widgets, the bug is no longer an issue.

My dudes! the tmdb helper integration with the categories, ratings, info dialogue etc. and also the highlights widget is so fookin’ awesome man.
I’m going to squeeze a cheeky little UK ratings logo in the MPAA part of the highlight widget for even more awesomeness.
One thing I don’t like is the absence of the plot slide on the spotlight. I’m going to put that back on my own build along with a shrinking clearlogo I think.
I’m also not keen on the main font colour being that bright/white for some reason but I think you’ve had that for a while but no worries, I’ll put that back to my liking.
So far, everything I’ve noticed is spot on, looking forward to playing with it some more but I also noticed the settings menu footer rating options is done really well too. I’ve had tmdb helper integration for a long while now but only ever use RT audience, RT critics and IMDB so it was nice to quickly access and switch on what I needed. I think the next thing to do is to clean up the rest of the skin options. So much is unnecessary there now, it needs a more simplified, less bloat option menu.
Anyway, it’s so good! Keep up the good work.
