This skin use old method to call widgets... old method: plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=recentalbums&limit=25&reload=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(widgetreloadmusic)] regular method: plugin://script.skin.helper.widgets/?action=recent&mediatype=albums&reload=$INFO[Window(home).Property(widgetreload-music)] change in skin (widgetPath), and you will get rid of kodi log notice "WARNING: Skin Helper Service".

The fix was for the changes needed for Kodi 18, per the authors instructions.
I'm not sure if they would also apply to Kodi 17.

By Going back and doing a forced update on dependent plug-ins it fixed the issue, I 1st un-installing the helper plug-in and a reboot. then the dependents update and then the helper.. Worked first time without a reboot and has been doing fine sense... I thank you for your time and response..

Seems Skin Helper is no longer available?

jingai commented 3 years ago

@MacGyverr, do you know the situation here with Skin Helper? I've been away for so long.. but, it seems Marcel left Kodi development and this addon isn't in the official repo any more?

If the above is a true statement, I'm wondering if we should change the default widgets to use the built in stuff so it doesn't confuse new users?

MacGyverr commented 3 years ago

I think some users pointed out that it wasn't working, I noticed the same thing, I showed them how to use the built-in Kodi versions, but those are missing certain features if I recall.

jingai commented 3 years ago

Yeah, probably should move the defaults to the built-in widgets, but in the interest of getting anything out for a recent version of Kodi, I'll push this off until 4.1.

jingai commented 3 years ago

Went ahead and did this.
