I'm getting a "Skin Helper Service Error" with Skin Helper v1.0.19 with Estouchy v2.0.20 on 18.0rc5.2-Leia under Ubuntu 16.04.5. I can post a full log if it helps, but the log just repeats the error below (about 80 lines worth) every time I enter a submenu, so there doesn't appear to be much there:

I posted on the Skin Helper development thread but didn't receive any responses.

Searching on Google, I found this similar issue reported. That poster resolved it by updating Skin Helper Service to the latest version on marcelveldt's github. Doing that only worsened my problem. Once I updated Skin Helper Service, I started getting TV Show - Next Aired errors as well as Skin Helper Service errors.

Any thoughts?

estouchy does not use the skin helper service at all.
either disabling or removing the addon would fix your issue.

Thanks. It did.
