I think i had a similar issue with two movies with same name with cast mixed up. In skin helper you can use the title or dbid to look for cast. Changed it to search for databaseID instead of title fixed it.

Hi @the_bo
where can I find the settings you are speaking about? Skin Helper Service Add-on have the menu CONFIGURE disabled

Hi @the_bo

You will need to edit the skin xml files to change it. Navigate to folder .kodi/addons/aeon.mq7.mod/1080i/. Try opening the file IncludesVariables.xml in and xml editor.

Use the search function to search for the following:

Code:

plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=getcast&tvshow

you may see code similiar to following:

Code:

plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=getcast&tvshow=$INFO[ListItem.Title]

If you see code above trying changing title to Listem.DBID so it looks like following:

Code:

plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=getcast&tvshow=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]

Save xml file. Next you need to delete cache so it updates the cast again. So navigate to .kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.module.simplecache/
Delete the simplecache.db file.

Reboot box. Hopefully cast should populate correctly. It may take a few seconds to update the cast list again

need to set wright condition to use that code.
This is just example...try to add just first row on top of your old code...see if this work for you.

Code:

    <variable name="value_widgetscast">
        <value condition="!String.StartsWith(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(widgets),movie) + !String.StartsWith(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(widgets),tvshow) + !String.IsEmpty(Container(510).ListItem.TVShowTitle)">plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=getcast&amp;tvshow=$INFO[Container(510).ListItem.TVShowTitle]&amp;downloadthumbs=true</value>

you missed "focusedlayout" in your list .....for dialogfullscreeninfo (for cast)

Maybe you understand, but to have disc in widget need to have one of this two solution.
-Leia version with new @DaveBlake changes (User can set Art for song)
-SHS Art outside from list

I see that you use Krypton version from title of this thread .......................that mean first solution is out.

Need to set art out and under list of music playlist widget .

Code:

    <include name="widgets_common"> 
   
                <control type="image">
                    <left>260</left>
                    <top>250</top>
                    <width>300</width>
                    <height>300</height>
                    <!-- MULTI MOD -->
                    <texture diffuse="cdart_diffuse.png" background="true" fallback="DefaultTVGuide.png">$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.DiscArt)]</texture>
                    <!-- MULTI MOD -->
                    <aspectratio align="center" aligny="center">keep</aspectratio>
                    <animation effect="rotate" start="0" end="-360" center="auto" time="40000" delay="2000" loop="true" reversible="false" condition="true">Conditional</animation>
                    <visible>String.StartsWith(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(widgets),apl)+Control.HasFocus(510)</visible>
</control>

add in includemenuwidget.xml
