I just installed Grid on my Vero 4K (Kodi 17.6).
I checked the skin settings and all required addons are installed. Still, I get lot's of "Skin Helper Service" errors on the screen.
Below the error, full log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/r66p9CHFG8/

Also, my TV is just 32", 1080P, I am watching from a little over 3 meters and the text is just 1 point too small. Is it possible for me to make the texts in lists (like TV Show lists) just 1 point bigger?
Is that something that I could change in an xml file?

Can't seem to find Clean Video Library in GRiD

[zilexa]

I had the same problem, I am using the Yatse app on my phone to clean the library now.
Also missing: Addons section. You have the Addons section in the Skin settings and the generic Addons settings, but no way to actually access your addons, repositories etc.

But my main problem is the Skin Helper errors. I don't understand why they occur.

Clear the whole lot?

Set source type as 'none' and it will all clear out. Set to correct type to re-import.

[lstar337]

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but there is no 'disable' option for individual hub sources in the TV Shows section like there is in the Movies section.

Also, (I may have missed this as I have been away for a while) is there no option to add a Playlist as a hub source?

REQUIRED & SUPPORTED ADD-ONS
More info on the add-ons required and/or supported by Grid can be found here. Please read this before posting any issues.

  This link is 404-ing. I found it in the README at Github though.

That's a bit of a hassle. Cleaning library is a pretty common thing to do after you delete old movies and seasons, right?

 I never found library cleaning to be that reliable, but I guess it serves its purpose.

 I just use the one in settings/media/clean library

Please help me with the below. I still don't understand why Grid gives me errors. Especially when I try most of the options in Settings > Skin Settings I receive this error. Even though I have all required add-ons.

HI Jereon,
When copying in the file manager there doesn't seem to be anything showing the progress of the transfer.  Would it be possible to make the top right bar progressively fill as the transfer progresses?  I think there might be a percentage but some of our family videos have long file names and they don't scroll enough to see it.  On a Rpi2 you really have to wait for the transfer to finish before playing so you don't overload the unit and its helpful to know how long you have to wait........i.e: do I stand and watch or make coffee

Not sure if this is possible, but will look into it.

Can't seem to find Clean Video Library in GRiD

There are shortcuts available for this and pretty much any function. You can add it to the home menu or to the options menu (the menu you can access from any screen by pressing left, or up in some cases)

[Jeroen]

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but there is no 'disable' option for individual hub sources in the TV Shows section like there is in the Movies section.

Also, (I may have missed this as I have been away for a while) is there no option to add a Playlist as a hub source?

What version are you on?

There's no way to add playlists to a Hub at the moment.

[Jeroen]

Please help me with the below. I still don't understand why Grid gives me errors. Especially when I try most of the options in Settings > Skin Settings I receive this error. Even though I have all required add-ons.

The errors you are getting are Skin Helper errors, not Grid's. The errors about windows not being found are Grid errors and a known issue but should not cause serious issues.

 It was the version from the Kodi repo, installed a few days ago. v1.5.1 I think.
