Hey all,

Sorry, I have a Python syntax question.  I am trying to wrap my head around the SetArt.

I have an addon with the following code:

        iconImage='DefaultAddSource.png'
        listItem = xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage=iconImage, thumbnailImage=iconImage)

Understandably, it throws this error:

listItem = xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage=iconImage, thumbnailImage=iconImage)
                                                   TypeError: 'iconImage' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

Can someone kindly let me know the correct syntax for those lines?

Thanks!!!
Ken

It sounds like you may be porting an addon from Kodi 18 to something newer so here's an example which also brings into play the setInfo call that will be deprecated sometime in the future.  Here's a thread on that topic.  You can see in the code snippet link I provided I am handling both Kodi 19 and higher.

python:
iconImage='DefaultAddSource.png'

listItem = xbmcgui.ListItem(name)

listitem.setArt({'icon': iconImage, 'thumb': iconImage})

Awesome thanks all for your info, yes I am trying to port an older add-on; the dbmc one.

Cheers!

OK @jepsizofye that code worked perfectly in the page I updated!  Thanks!!

 From what I read and understand, I then changed the following lines:

    def add_action(self, name, action):
        iconImage='DefaultAddSource.png'
        listItem = xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage=iconImage, thumbnailImage=iconImage)

TO:

def add_action(self, name, action):
        iconImage='DefaultAddSource.png'
        listItem = xbmcgui.ListItem(name)
        listitem.setArt({'icon': iconImage, 'thumb': iconImage})


But then I get the following error:

listitem.setArt({'icon': iconImage, 'thumb': iconImage})
                                                   NameError: name 'listitem' is not defined


Am I missing something?  Isn't it exactly the same syntax and context?

Cheers,
Ken

indeed...

i made a typo, my listitem is with little 'i' and yours is uppercase

change i to I

[kenmills]

Awesome that was it, doh!  I should have caught that myself...  Too much time doing code today lol.

Thanks am million!

@jepsizofye - do you mind if I DM you for a few other questions about this port?  You seem quite knowledgeable.  :-)

FOr example, now I am getting the following error on this line:

    sessionId = ADDON.getSetting('session_id')

error:
NameError: name 'ADDON' is not defined


Is this just another case sensitive one?  i.e. should the line be:  sessionId = addon.getSetting('session_id')  ?

Look for a line like this and match the case for the addon variable on the left side of the = sign.

Code:

addon = xbmcaddon.Addon()

Gotcha!  thx!

[kenmills]

OK so there is no line at all like that..  

I added this at the top of the file:

ADDON = xbmcaddon.Addon()


And it worked thanks!

I added this at the top of the file:

ADDON = xbmcaddon.Addon()

This is the code that is causing the error:

def getAccessToken():
    access_token = None
    #Get the session_id (uuid). Create one if there is none yet.
   sessionId = ADDON.getSetting('session_id')

The error is:
access_token = None
  NameError: name 'ADDON' is not defined

Try setting ADDON to lowercase.  I've never used ADDON as an uppercase variable.  If this doesn't work you have some form of Python scope issue.  You can test that with:

 

Scope issue option:
sessionId = xbmcaddon.Addon().getSetting('session_id')

Sorry Jeff, I edited my original reply.  I had  a typo and it worked after I fixed it :-)  Thanks again!!!
