Hope you're well. I have found another problem with the skin scraping incorrect artwork ...

This is exactly why I took away all the organization responsibilities away from Kodi and gave it to Emby. Kodi did a lackluster job, the artwork customization and metadata scraping was tedious and having to rebuild the database became all too frequent!

Granted Emby is yet another piece of software running on my HTPC but it does the metadata and artwork job perfectly. And with the Kodi plugin in Emby and Emby add-on in Kodi, the synchronization is infallible.

In this case, the problem occurs on the OSD info panel when playing back a TV show episode from the library. In the bottom panel at the left, it normally displays the TV show series poster. However, if the episode's title happens to correspond to the name of a different TV show (which happens surprisingly often!), the skin is scraping the poster for that TV show and displaying that in the OSD info panel instead.

Hmmm, strange. First of all it shouldn't scrape for any art if you have that already in your library so maybe the helper "thinks" there is no artwork available.
Secondly, it should always use the tvshow's title for lookups and never the episode title...

A few questions:

1) Does the issue still exist with the latest updates from last days ?
2) Do you have the skin setting "enable lookups for addons" enabled ?
3) You are using local media files and not some (illegal) addon ?
4) Do you start the playback from the video library ?

Only one thing is bothering me, I've searched all through the huge amount of customizations that's available but haven't been able to get it sorted out yet, sure it's just me being daft but I've eventually given up and decided to ask for help.

So here s my issue, I've set up pvr with vu client and all is good except, when watching a channel and I go back to the tv guide, the now playing picture jumps between the small now playing box at the top of the screen and the space at the bottom right of the screen, is there a way to remove one of these boxes for the background playing, or just have it playing on the full background like some of the other skins allow you to select.

now for the daunting task of teaching the the rest of the house how to use it!

Artist Slideshow - Fallback folder - Images are not longer displayed on fullscreen playback (I think it's not caused by Artist Slidshow, because it works with other skins) I only use local Images. Local artist folder Images are shown. If there is no "extrafanart" folder, it shows just the "fanart.jpg". If there also is no "fanart.jpg", it shows the image from the last Artist or the global background image until there are songs played with "extrafanart" or "fanart.jpg" in the Artists folders.

2. After updating Skin Helper Service to version 1.0.144 there are no fanart background pictures shown in the movie view. I went back to version 1.0.100, restarted Kodi and it works fine again.

3. I disabled Kodi screensaver on fullscreen music playback, but the screensaver still starts after a few minutes while playing music.

Any other ideas to get it running smooth?

I have no idea what you mean with hubs? Please explain...
