RE: Titan skin version 3.6.x (Kodi 16 Jarvis) - thebertster - 2016-12-03

Hi marcel, hope you're well!

I updated to the 3.6.97 beta yesterday to see what's new - was previously on an older beta, from before the major skinhelper re-write.

I am now experiencing the same intermittent issues in media views that a few others have reported where sometimes the background fanart and/or thumbnails from a different show gets displayed. As the problem is intermittent I haven't yet been able to capture it happening with a debug log, but will post one as soon as I can.

However, I have a much more obvious issue since going to this beta release:

I have a library where all artwork (posters, banners, fanart, extra fanart, actors etc.) is local - it is all pre-scraped (using Media Companion) and I'm using the "Local info only" scraping option. With the new beta and associated scripts, when I go into TV Shows or Movies, which I have in Big List 2 with thumbnails, it initially displays as it always did, i.e. the thumbnail is the fanart as selected in the show's "choose art" dialog - which in my case is always going to be a local fanart.jpg file anyway. Then after a few seconds or sometimes tens of seconds, while a show is selected in the media view, the thumbnail sometimes changes to a completely different fanart image, but not my local fanart.jpg and often not even any of the images in the show's extrafanart folder. Looking at the log files, it is being scraped from fanart.tv or thetvdb.com.

After the "wrong" thumbnail is cached, scrolling away and then back to that show causes the thumbnail to briefly flick to the "correct" thumbnail (i.e. the one selected in the "choose art" dialog) to this randomly-downloaded thumbnail. I have tried disabling the extra fanart option in the media views settings and then deleting simplecache and textures database and thumbnails folder (just to make sure nothing is cached), but after restarting, the same random behaviour occurs.

Here are a few log excerpts from when this happens:

Thanks and let me know if there's anything else I can get for you to work out what is going on.

Skin version 3.6.97

Will be fixed in next beta update

Working perfectly fine on my setup. Maybe try another weather provider ?

to change automatically I use the smart shortcut options. Everything used to work just fine until I reinstalled.
After the reinstall I could see only my 'Kids' smart shortcut, but not the 'Movies' one. So i thought I may have messed something when creating my smart playlists.
I deleted all the smart playlists and created them from scratch. Now I can see only my 'Movies' smart shortcut, but not my 'Kids' smart shortcut.

1) Are you on beta version of the skin or the stable one ?
2) Can you please take l a look in your kodi logfile if there are any errors reported. Good chance it's reporting an error that you have one or more corrupted playlist files it couldn't parse.

I reproduced this issue today and looks like I fixed it. One of the scrapers of skinhelper was accidentally pulling in a fanart image and the skin was using that image instead of the correct one.
Should be fixed in next beta update of the skin.

Just got updated scripts (inc. Helper Service 1.0.130) and does indeed seem to have sorted the issues I was seeing. Thanks!

Yes, and it will even get better because I did not yet push the actual fix to the repo ;-)

LOL. Was just about to post that I'd spoken too soon as the problem came back after another reboot! Will wait for next version. Thanks!

1. I am using 3.6.78 - stable version installed from the Kodi repo
2. I do not see any errors. There are only a few warnings, but none of those seems to be related to the issue

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Titan skin -> loaded the settings I have backed up beforehand. Everything is the same.

P.S. I just noticed one more strange thing. The 'Recently added albums' widget for the music section stays over the main menu items hiding them (horizontal home layout).
The widget layout is set to 'None - using the global setting' and the global setting is 'Posters'. However, there is a workaround for that - setting the widget layout to 'Posters' seems to fix the issue - I get the same widget layout but it is above the home menu items.

Problem is unchanged with 3.6.98 and SH 1.0.131, but not sure if these versions should fix the issue as per your previous post but wanted to let you know just in case. (n.b. deleted the thumbnail and simplecache databases and it is still scraping from thetvdb). I notice also that at the same time the thumbnail changes, the footer displays an item for "continuing (on <date>)" (or "ended" for older shows) - I do not have the tv show next aired add-on, so assume this is also a new function of your scripts?

Can you separate it as it was before?

OK, should be fixed in next update.
Thanks, it's ok now.
By the way, did you add additional setting or just set it to be as it was before?

Seems to be ok, I'm hoping it will be stable from now.
Thanks.

Also the background of the widget shows black screen from the widget unless I play with it a little, forward backward.

Also please test if fixed in the next update
Still the same as mentioned here in "Regarding 4"

The banners are being displayed correctly, thank you. However, the information overlay is not displayed with [banner view]. I'm not sure if this is expected or not.

Ok I have been playing around this. I deleted the Rssfeeds.xml file on one machine and that did the trick. But on my other ones (linux) doesn't seem to work. But I have noticed that when I do delete it, the kodi feeds show up, so it much be something with my feed. Can you check it out for me?

Here is the rss feed. Do you seen any reason why it isn't showing up on some kodi boxes? Thanks
