Once again "Skin  Helper Service" (1.1.33) is crashing constantly (I am on Nvidia Pro 2019) and, again, studio logos are not being shown in both "TV_Shows" and "Movies". Any ideas?

Edit:
Just as I posted this, Studio logos started to show again. Is there a timer for "Skin Helper Service" to restart itself?

@andrzejls - Skin Helper Service still constantly crashes both a Linux (Ubuntu) setup and Windows setup for me which I have documented. Most times, I will see a SHS error on the top left of the screen, then guaranteed, Kodi will bomb within 20 seconds.

I have spent countless hours debugging and sifting through code to find the crashing reason and have informed both Skin Helper Developers and @latts9923 what is crashing Kodi, but get no response. The developers seem they cant care less and keep saying that it is the others fault. 

The developer of SHS says it is up to the Skin Mod developer to fix, but it is evident when there is a crash it is SHS causing it and not this skin (seems that SHS and the other components it calls do not handle errors very well of returned external data).

I was even told it was my data causing it, but never happened with the same data in V18.9 with latts9923 MQ8 mod. And, my Windows setup is a test setup that doesn't use the same data. The Windows Kodi crashes within 20 seconds of Kodi starting. I disable SHS in the Windows Kodi (by removing the SHS addon folder.. only way I found possible to at least get Kodi to start) and works perfectly, without crashes. Obviously, debug logs show nothing as it is a hard crash, but always the last command before the crash is SHS setting up to get external extrafanart (and my extrafanart is local, so it should not be going externally).

For me, I disabled Skin Helper Service and Kodi never has crashed since. I loose a few Skin functionality, but what I loose is irrelevant to me as I dont see any difference of having it enabled or disabled (apart from seeing actors images which I dont care if the system is stable). I cant find a definitive list on what this Skin Mod uses SHS for.

Interestingly. SHS version is now several minor versions past 1.1.33, which might include fixes, so I am wondering why this mod is still using an old version.

Cant comment on whether studio logos show on mine (with or without SHS enabled) as Im not particularly interested in what studio produced a TV show or Movie but I have seen them on the Boxes in Kodiflix view.

MOVIES section
Highlight a movie and press I (info).
Highlight a actor's thumbnail and pressing Enter brings me to a list of movies/TV-show where this actor is in the cast.
To the right I see a POSTER for each movie/TV-show for this actor.
When pressing Enter on one of these movies it brings me to the info page for THAT movie.

Kodi 19.1 with Aeon MQ 8 1.0.12 05/23/2021 by MarcosQui Mod by Latts
MOVIES section
Highlight a movie and press I (info).
Highlight a actor's thumbnail:
- well, sometimes Kodi crashes when doing this
- sometimes it brings me to a list of movies/TV-show where this actor is in the cast.
To the right I see a FANART (not a poster) for each movie for this actor (for TV-show I do see a poster).
When pressing Enter on one of these movies/TV-show it brings me BACK to the main Movies list.

How do I solve this behaviour in 19.1?
Is there any settings that I have "messed" up, or are there something else?

You need to change the "AUDIO AND SUBTITLE FLAGS" in the Top Menu to "LOGO" in order to see the colored audio channels.

Someone else reported this problem with AEL as well. I'll have to take a look.

I was able to reproduce the problem you reported. I'll have to take a look.

UPDATE: This is a known problem with SHS.

@andrzejls
Are you still getting SHS errors with v1.1.36?

That flag is tied to the "AUDIO/SUBTITLE" setting in Skin Settings. Select the Colored Media Icons Pack.

You can install the Colored Media Icons add-on from my repo. Check the first post for the link if you don't have my repo installed.
