Settings for the script

The script is controlled by the skinner through skin settings to allow the skinner to fully integrate the settings of this script within the skin settings of the skin and to make sure the background service isn't spending time retieving info that isn't consumed by a skin.

This means that the skinner enables functions of the script with enabling some skin settings.

Important settings:

SkinHelper.EnableExtraFanart

enables the extrafanart background scanner

Skin.ToggleSetting(SkinHelper.EnableExtraFanart)


SkinHelper.StudioLogos.Path

Used to automatically provide the studiologo as window property. Skinstring must be set to the path to the studio logos. This path can be a folder on disk or a path to a Kodi Image resource addon. For example use the Resource addon select tool to set the path of this skin string.

RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=setresourceaddon,skinstring=SkinHelper.StudioLogos,addontype=resource.images.studios)
