Hi Marcel,

I am using Skin.SetString(SkinHelper.RandomFanartDelay,30) for a background slideshow on my homescreen. It seems like the value set here also determines how long it takes for the first image to show up. I am setting the string at startup and using Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.AllVideosBackground) in a multiimage control, and after entering the homescreen it will take 30 seconds before I see any image.

Hi Marcel, will you be providing support for EmbyCon via the smart shortcuts feature? I looked at the code but could not work it out! I think it would be a nice addition

I use the Rapier skin under CE 8.90.2 and get a "Skin Helper Error" at the Kodi start, in the log I find this:

As reported in Kodi forums by a set of users (mainly Android), the script.skin.helper.backgrounds crashes when trying to use PIL

           File"/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/script.skin.helper.backgrounds/resources/lib/wallimages.py", line 24, in <module>
            from PIL import Image
            ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'

According to multiple sources on the internet:
Wikipedia: Development appears to be discontinued, with the last commit to the PIL repository coming in 2011.[2] Consequently, a successor project called Pillow has forked the PIL repository and added Python 3.x support.[4] This fork has been adopted as a replacement for the original PIL in Linux distributions including Debian[5] and Ubuntu (since 13.04).[6]
