Does anyone experience something like this??

Can't think of any add-on I support to be pulling that much (or any actually) internet traffic really. The homescreen fanart is pulled in by fanart grabber and it only reads from the database.

Cheers

Can you do something about this problem? please...
maybe you can look up on coding skin Aeon Nox, cause Aeon Nox has a feature a fanart for Home screen too.

thankyou for your reply.

The home screen PVR widget doesn't show the "Next recording" text. I found out that it's caused by a wrong string id in Variables.xml.

Wrong id

Code:

<value condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(home.status),pvr) + Pvr.HasTVTimer | Pvr.HasRadioTimer">$INFO[Pvr.NextRecordingTitle,$LOCALIZE[16157]: ]$INFO[Pvr.NextRecordingChannel, - ]</value>

Correct one

Code:

<value condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(home.status),pvr) + Pvr.HasTVTimer | Pvr.HasRadioTimer">$INFO[Pvr.NextRecordingTitle,$LOCALIZE[19157]: ]$INFO[Pvr.NextRecordingChannel, - ]</value>

There's no difference?

$LOCALIZE[16157] vs. $LOCALIZE[19157]

16157 doesn't exist.

What do you want me to do about it? There is nothing I can do about it because it isn't a skin issue.

Sorry, but I don't need to check in another skin on how to make an image control show on the homescreen...

Skins do not pull in 1MB/s of data. Neither does fanart grabber as it only reads from the database, like I already told you. I just tried it myself. When changing fanart sources there was no network activity at all (by Kodi as a whole)

the activity of your network not runnin on you because your build already grab it the artwork
cause i had this too. my network stop when the movie already runnin before


EDIT:
i'm confusing.. what is kodi grabbing from internet?
and when i enter the Settings or somethin else, and the activity of my network stop

EDIT 2:
and i just tried all skin that can slideshow of a movies/tvshows on home screen (Eminence, AeonN, etc.)
and none of them is have a activity internet

EDIT 3:
are you using script of script.grab.fanart from robweber?
so this is propably causing the problem, right?

[ocarror]

Thanks everyone for trying. I just upgraded and can see posters for movies but not tv shows . As it's working for you I'll plug away. Once again super skin. Well done.

Hold on, I may have found something When choosing a combination of a specific type of widget source and options I ran into this after all. Likely this was causing the issue for you too. A (possible) fix is up on the repo.

Just upgraded to 1.1.2, works like a charm. Cheers Jeroen.

Another thing - I did ALL FANART for the homescreen...and I notice it's kind of chaotic. It shows some tvs/movie fanart...then just shows nothing for a solid 30seconds-1 minute (plain grid background). Is this intentional and is there any way to implement a homescreen fan-art option to make the images shuffle faster Right now if I do animated backgrounds...it will recycle the same background over and over for 1 minute or so. Gladiator zoomed out 3 different ways, before switching if at all to another movie/tv show fanart

Seems like fanart grabber isn't picking up the change of fanart source, try rebooting. It's supposed to show random fanart image every 30 seconds. The refresh time is set in startup.xml

Also is Library Data Provider necessary, if so when? This is with LDP enabled btw ^^^. Do I need to enable Artwork Downloader and Artist slideshow to get fanart homescreen to work right? Kinda confuzzled ! Other than that, this theme is EPIC.

LDP is not a requirement. The other add-ons don't do anything for the homescreen fanart.

My Thumbnails are on MySQL and with Refocus and Kodi 14.2 - never had any issues getting consistent refreshes within 30 seconds on the same device (Shield TV). I'm also testing it on the PC - seems to be the same issue - log is from the PC version.

Not sure what it's trying to go into tmdb.org for if Thumbnails/Fanart is cached...

What is most confusing is....the image is of movies I do have...like this Layton one

https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/iXzE...uDqQdR.jpg

As the log shows is (unsupported image)...not sure why! It seems to work A-OK when visiting the link. But again - bit confused as to why it is attempting to visit tmdb url....and not just access it on the cache in the mysql...

I don't use a mysql db so cant help you with it I'm afraid.

@Jeroen,

Sorry I don't think I made myself clear regarding artist fanart

Album art displays for a few seconds



Artist fanart starts. The reason I was asking is because I'm concerned about screen burn.

Artist fanart 1


Artist fanart 2 and so on

[Jeroen]

are you using script of script.grab.fanart from robweber?
so this is propably causing the problem, right?

Fanart Grabber doesn't download artwork, it only pulls from the db. But I have told you this several times now.

Excellent link.

I deleted the device's (PC's databases) though im sure all I needed to do was erase Thumbnails13.db and it seems to be working much much better in terms of changing images. There is however still a repeat of the same TV/show / Movie....

Jeroen, are u using local files of your artwork?

Yes.

[TheLastOfUs]

Update: Solved (with regards to images not changing nicely to another tv show/movie)

Delete Textures.db
Make sure SQL Thumbnails directory has users/guest/everyone on Allow full control (ironically my previous one didn't have users/guest). Had to make another Thumbnails folder to test it out...and then it worked just fine.

I still notice a "Gap" period where only the grid background shows. But quite a few movies in my library have no fanart. But the actual Kodi log is showing it's having an issue making images...

Jeroen - any ideas why it's trying to reach out to tmbdb.org though using XFILE? All of those images exist

[3500]

Jeroen, are u using local files of your artwork?

Yes.

like this example?

<movie>.mkv, .mp4, etc.
<movie>.nfo
poster.jpg
logo.png
disc.png
clearart.png
and folder for extrafanart

[Jeroen]

Something like that yes.

But can you please post this in general support or something? Because this really is not a skin issue.
