**PLEASE READ BEFORE UPDATING TO THE NEWEST VERSION OF THE COLORED MEDIA ICONS***

I finally figured out the problem I was having trying to update the add-on via my repo. There is something funky with the Textures.xbt file. Before updating to the new version I just uploaded (v0.1.4), please do the following...

1. Close Kodi
   
2. Navigate to resource.images.mediaicons.coloured/resources and remove the Textures.xbt file.
   
3. Download the new version from this link.
   
4. Copy the Textures folder from the zip file into resource.images.mediaicons.coloured/resources.
   
5. Now open Kodi and try to update to v0.1.4 via my repo.
   

This worked for me...let me know if it fails on your end.

UPDATE #90 - This will update the skin to v2.0.2.4

Additions

• I added a new "HIDE FURNITURE AFTER 10 SECONDS" setting to the Music Viz settings. It is enabled by default.
  
• I added the "BD/DVD CASES" control for the Right List view to Posterlite as well. If you change the case for one view it will also change the other. Thanks to movie78 for the request!
  
• I added new studios to the white and colored icons with the following names...disney+, disney plus, apple tv, national geographic (uk), and hbo europe. Thanks to djhifi for the request!
  
• I added the record label icon to all music viz layouts.
  
• I added ".DolbyVision.", ".DoVi.", ".dv.", ".DV.", ".uhd.", and ".UHD." as optional filename extensions to display the 4K case. Thanks to ScratchInside for the request!
  
• I added an "EXTENDED INFO" button to the Video Info screen. Thanks to Juan Mortyme for the request!
  
• I added the ability to use the Library Editor add-on for Music Videos. If you open the context menu, you can now select "EDIT DATA".
  
• I added the "DIALOGUE CASE ART:" button in the Top Menu to TV Shows.
  
• I added code to support Canadian MPAA flags. Open IncludesVariables.xml and search for "BCFCO_A_Certificate_CA". You will see all the new Canadian ratings and all the available rating labels to use to display them. Thanks to Juan Mortyme for the images and the code!
  
• I also added code to support Dutch MPAA flags. If you search for "nl_al" in IncludesVariables.xml you will see all the available rating labels to use to display them. This was added to MQ 8 some time back, but I never added this to MQ 7. Thanks to MB1968 for providing the flags!
  
• I added code to display record labels instead of studio lables for Music Videos. The database entry will still be studio, but it will reference the record label icons.
  
• I added code to display an IMAX icon for resolution if you use ".imax." in the video file name. Thanks to simomkd for the request!

• The far right separator was not displaying for Music Videos in the Video Info screen.
  
• The "EXTRA KEYART" was not displaying for TV Shows in the Video Info screen.
  

Maintenance

Hi Latts,

I'm having the same issue as @thesnodger.  Also after updating to your latest version and followed exact your instructions to install Media Colored Icons, most of the media icons are gone as shown in the below picture.  



Thanks,

There is a problem with Colored Media Icons v0.1.4. I copied the entire Textures folder into resource.images.mediaicons.coloured/resources by mistake. I will fix it later today, but for now move everything in the Textures folder up a directory into resources.

There is a problem with

Do you really need to use a braille font for your posts..?

@Klojum
Do you mean bold?

Thanks, Latts.  It's working now for the media icons issue but did not solve the issue that @thesnodger described.  There are still icons and info missing (i.e. studio, Oscar, reviews, etc..) as you can see in the pictures below.
Do you have any ideas what was wrong?




Thanks,

@Klojum
Do you mean bold?

Yes, and a bigger default font, as in

Code:

[ size=medium ][ b ]

It's a bit overkill compared to all other people's posts.

[latts9923]

@tad61
You're welcome...the studio, Oscar, etc. is a Skin Helper or Metadata problem. What version of those add-ons do you have installed?

---

@Klojum
I normally use the default font. I was just alerting everyone in the thread that there was a problem. If that's frowned upon I will cease to do so.

Hi Latts,

Thanks for the clues.  I'm currently using Skin Helper Service version 1.1.31 and recently have problem updating the Metahandler to version 5.0.0.1.  It said something about failed dependency.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

@tad61
I'm using SHS v1.1.31 as well. What version of script.module.metadatautils are you using?

All,

There is a new version (0.1.5) of the Colored Media Icons on my repo that fixes the problem with the icons not displaying. My error...sorry.

Hi Latts,

I'm using script.module.metadatautils version 1.0.37.  I think this is the latest.

Hi Latts,

I forgot to mention that when I tried to update to version 0.1.5, it said "update failed".  I don't know what 
's happening now.  Need your help.

@thesnodger
I'm just now seeing your post. Did you ever figure out the problem you were having?

Well, kind of! It's all working now but only via many combinations of trial and error.

1st thing I did was to revert to a Kodi backup I did last October (v2.0.1.3) and Skinhelper Service is v1.1.24 - if you need any the versions of any other addons running let me know. I would assume that all other scripts/addons will also be versions from 6 months ago.

TMM was also updated to version 4.1.2 last week so after I updated it I played with a few options in the new TMM universal scaper so that it was grabbing all the correct metadata. I then deleted all my existing NFO files (again!) and rescraped the entire collection. However I have to say that I don't think it was a metadata issue as some NFOs worked intermittently, i.e. after one clear out and refresh it worked, then on the next one it didn't.

Now here is some weird behaviour - and this is where I might have gone wrong...

1. If I delete the video and texturecache databases and then go into media settings, set the Movies source folder back to how it was and then say YES when it asks to update all files in the source >>> I get studio icons work, only SOME tomatometer ratings work.

2. If I delete the video and texturecache databases and then go into media settings, set the Movies source folder back to how it was and then say NO when it asks to update all files in the source, but then click the "update library" menu linkj >>> everything works

Another thing that I did was disable Artwork beef until I had added everything back into the library then ran it manually. What I noticed was that the disk light was flashing away for a good 20-30 mins after each import so perhaps Artwork beef stops another script from running?

Perhaps there are other files that I need to delete when I do a full library refresh?

This could all be a total coincidence but its working now so I'm leaving it as it is. I think some combo of all the above fixed it but right now I'm not 100% sure what that combo is.

However, if you want me to try updating to the new version and see if it still works I can. I will do a full backup then try the update so I can revert back again if it messes up.
Also, funnily enough I updated the textures file myself this weekend to include all those studio icons and also a few more, plus I added DTS-EX in codecs.



UPDATE: I just updated the skin to the latest version, plus modules and skin helper service all to latest and it breaks everything, for me at least.
