EmbyCon: No Banner picture in Banner View

[Siutsch 9]

I only see part of the background image, but not the banner pics anymore.

 

 

BTW: I use AeonNox Silvo Skin (for ages). Win10, Kodi18

 

I don't know why, tried older 1.5.16 and 1.5.15 version, but it's the same.

 

I've installed Emby for Kodi too (3.0.26a) just to fill the Kodi DB (for using Yatse) and here the banner view is OK.

 

Also with Emby Web, everything is OK.

 

Some idea, what could happened?

 

Thanks,

Siutsch.

EmbyCon fills the banner artwork correctly. It's propbably a issue of the skin and I guess it uses the wrong banner artwork value

 

For TV shows: ListItem.Art(tvshow.banner)

For movies: ListItem.Art(banner)

 

Please post your issue in the Kodi board to the skin developer.

As I thought.

 

Wrong:

	<variable name="BannerThumb">
		<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(banner))">$INFO[ListItem.Art(banner)]</value>
		<value>$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</value>
	</variable>
	<variable name="PosterThumb">
		<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(poster))">$INFO[ListItem.Art(poster)]</value>
		<value>$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</value>
	</variable>

Correct:

	<variable name="BannerThumb">
		<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(banner))">$INFO[ListItem.Art(banner)]</value>
		<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(tvshow.banner))">$INFO[ListItem.Art(tvshow.banner)]</value>
		<value>$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</value>
	</variable>
	<variable name="PosterThumb">
		<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(poster))">$INFO[ListItem.Art(poster)]</value>
		<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(tvshow.poster))">$INFO[ListItem.Art(tvshow.poster)]</value>
		<value>$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</value>
	</variable>

OK.

 

But the skin version is 6.1.3 since 2018-03-02, so the skin hasn't changed for 2 months..

 

And I use the portable version of Kodi and restored a backup (whole folder) from a week ago to test.

 

The only thing that happend is the update of the new plugins since then (which happens immediately after starting Kodi).

 

Therefore I tried two older versions of EmbyCon to check if the problem exists since the newest version.

It's a skin issue.

We just filled the movie info values for tvshows too (which is wrong).

 

See my post from above. I'll inform Mike.

Thank you!

 

But why can this happen immediately?

[sualfred 677]

Because I did some cleanup in EmbyCon to use the correct info values

 

Edit:

I've reported the issue to him:

Ah, OK.

 

But I tested two older version of EmbyCon without luck, still no changes.

 

 

And I changed the Variables.xml with the correct vaules and restarted Kodi.

 

No changes too.

[sualfred 677]

Does it work with Kodi 17 Krypton?

Kodi 18 is still very buggy.

I don't know, I use Kodi18 for several weeks now without problems (for me) because of Inputstream for Netflix, SkyGo and Amazon Prime, which works really good.

And the AeonNox Silvo version I use is for Lea too.

 

But what I'd like to understand:

If this problem comes due to an update of EmbyCon (cleanup), why happens this to me too,

if I use a restored backup from Kodi (a week old) and test two older version of EmbyCon (1.5.15. and 1.5.16.) too (because of immediate update to latest version 1.5.17).

 

Nothing else has changed, Emby server version (which has nothing to do with it) is 3.4.1.0. and the skin is the same since beginning of March.

 

If I use an older version (for test) of EmbyCon, the problem may then no longer happen, or am I wrong?

 

And I adapted the Variables.xml with your optimizations too, no change.

 

 

But thank you for reporting to Silvo.

All I can say is that Leia is buggy as hell. Even a lot of GUI things were messed up these days. It's not even in beta so don't wonder if you are facing issues.

 

If you use Windows you can try Krypton by running it in portable mode without messing up your config (kodi.exe -p).

 

Please also try the latest beta version of EmbyCon. It's def. working on my end.

Thanks for help.

 

If it's only a graphical problem, I hope Silvo will update his skin due to that.

 

I'm not going back to Krypton.
