So really, a big THANK YOU cause this is really what I call support !

First of, Kodi needs to be running for this utility to work. Second, you need to check in Kodi in Settings, Services, Web Server, and see what port and username it says there, since that must match in the texturecache.cfg

Lockos,

First of, Kodi needs to be running for this utility to work. Second, you need to check in Kodi in Settings, Services, Web Server, and see what port and username it says there, since that must match in the texturecache.cfg

For example, in my setup, the port is 8082, and the username is kodi, so my texturecache.cfg looks like this:

Code:

#userdata = ~/.xbmc/userdata/
#dbfile = Database/Textures13.db
#thumbnails = Thumbnails/
#xbmc.host = localhost
webserver.port = 8082
webserver.username = kodi
orphan.limit.check = no
cache.castthumb = yes
#rpc.port = 9090
#download.threads = 2
#extrajson.albums  =
#extrajson.artists =
#extrajson.songs   =
#extrajson.movies  =
#extrajson.sets    =
#extrajson.tvshows.tvshow =
#extrajson.tvshows.season =
#extrajson.tvshows.episode=
#qaperiod = 30
#qa.file = no
#logfile =
#logfile.verbose = no
#network.mac = aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff

Only the lines that do not start with a # are actually active. You would put what your Kodi says for port and username. At least in my experience, if you are running the utility in the same machine that Kodi is running in, you don't need to specify anything else.

The way I run it is that I open a command prompt window in the folder where you copied the texturecache utility, and type: python texturecache.py c

That should cache all artwork that is not properly cached, for all your movies and tv shows. If you use the texturecache.cfg info I put in this message, it will also cache the actor thumbs.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Bart

Is there any upcoming feature to simplify adding .gif posters?
I read a thread about on online database and using an add-on but did not understand the discussion you replied to.
Also, I wonder if there is any thought of an option coming up in the code like 'Prefer .gif if present inside local movie folder'.
If not, no big deal. Will just add manually. Just don't know if patience is a better choice or not?

This branch fixes the disappearing background for the info panel customiser, with the workaround extendable without much additional effort to any other cases where an image is using $VAR[DialogColorVar] as its colordiffuse (and without much more for any image using other given $VAR's).

I wouldn't go even so far as to say its a fix you want to consider using, though, and I won't do any further work on it. However, in case it does interest you, I leave it in your capable hands.

I don't recall touching any code regarding flags.

Just something I have always been struggling with: the best addons to use for this skin are often not automatically installed, because I just copy-paste the skin itself to the addons folder. Now in a previous version Schimi2k made a great post with a link to all addons needed: http://www.pointblack.racing/showthread.php?tid=209412&pid=1946139#pid1946139. I have tried to import those same addons, but I think that some are incompatible and break the system.

Can you advise how to get the most out of this skin and which addons to download or is there again an easy package to install?

Thanks and keep up the good work :-)

when i send you "my" nfo file - what did you do to test it ?
i saw now, that you are using a sql database - so you should have to check this sql database first and delete the "Lone Ranger" movie from there by hand ! ( i use "HEIDI" for editing my sql database ) - after you delete this movie from your sql database you have to refresh it with the new nfo
i realy think some of your weird looking infos with all those wrong links in it will make this problems ...

or you do what Mr.V told ya - disable temporary the advancedsettings.xml ( no sql ! ) - and add just this lone ranger movie with my nfo file - when you have still the problem you can sort out the sql database - if its working, we can sort out madnox ... but your nfo looks realy weird buddy...

how many more people have this same problem here ? maybe we can cross check some of the nfo files or configs

cheerz

Yes, this is planned. As you've read, Marcel, owner of Skinhelper, has updated the script to make calls to the database that rshicks has created for animated posters / backgrounds. At the moment only calls for posters exist, The idea will be that hopefully per view you can choose standard or animated poster and that this new call will be used to attempt to get an animated poster. Thinking of doing the same for some background but only the small ones like in shelf 3D etc as I understand the animated background aren't sized for good fullscreen display
