@omaramiromo - please, no banned addons (wiki) here. I'll let this slide as you're trying to sort out a skin issue, but any thought that your problems are related to that addon and your post will get summarily removed.

I'm running Libreelec on a rpi3, not sure if that's the issue. The bug happens when transitioning from a Movie Widget to Tv show widget or btwn the different movies, and during the auto transition briefly.. I'll try and recache and compress the cache images.

No this is very unusual and I haven't encountered it at all. There is a fade transition between background images, but that should be less than a second, not permanent!

Note: This is an experimental feature and you might face issues using it. So please be aware of that.
This new feature was introduced in Kodi 18 and if enabled, the GUI process call (and therefore the render call) is only done if anything has changed. The result will be a faster GUI and less load if Kodi plays a video
true: on
false: off (Default)
Example:
<gui>
      <smartredraw>true</smartredraw>
</gui>

Love the setup for the music player. Is there a way you could have the player draw clearlogo artwork from artist. I have a lot of compilation albums and the clearlogo seems to draw from the album data (Various Artists).


Works fine when its an actual album from the artist so i assume it pulls the metadata from album info...



Cheers, Keep up the great work!

Where do those colorful texts come from? Is that some kind of lyric, or just a picture?

For example, if I scroll though movies the rating appear after a several second delay for each title. If I go back and look at previously browsed titles the ratings appear straight away. However! if I reboot/reload skin I'm back at square one, every title I need to wait several seconds for the ratings to be refreshed (except IMDB, which I think is my default rating). Is this correct behaviour or should the cache persist across Restarts?

I've had the problem since the beginning, and it has really frustrated me.

Simplecache uses two methods for caching data: memory and database. Retreiving data from web services is delayed, but retreiving data from Cache, if there is data, shouldt not been delayed.
I debugged the script and some modules. As I understood it, the simplecache-script writes/caches the loaded webservice data into memory and into the database (simplecache.db) with timestamps. This all works correctly.
The only problem is that the cached data is not used. Here is a workaround/fix:

Simply replace the file in the script.module.metadatautils-addon folder with this one here

https://github.com/beatmasterRS/script.module.metadatautils/blob/master/lib/metadatautils.py, (commit)

Restart kodi for changes to take effect. Now caching is used and there is no delay for items, that are already in cache.
Testet on Odroid C2 and Windows-PC

You can set the value in

xml:
@use_cache()

f.e. https://github.com/beatmasterRS/script.module.metadatautils/blob/52a33c01a256b0f86c1fa88b4f9e1fd6db82f02f/lib/metadatautils.py#L94 to your needs. As in this example the duration is 90 days.
