Eminence 2.0 questions, suggestions and comments

I like the skin so far (with KODI v17 I had to stop using my old one) but there are some things I wish I could change. 1. I'd like a 'low list' view option, the current display hides the fanart almost completely. 2. I'd like to be able to change the l...

Help, I don’t speak Dothraki!

tl,dr: Is there a service/addon/provider that will retrieve/display the subtitles for non-English (Klingon, Elvish, Dothraki, etc.) passages? I get that these *should* be available within the .mkv container, and that the "Forced" tag needs to be enabl...

Addon.getSetting won’t read where setSetting wrote

I've been trying to figure out how to maintain certain data between subsequent calls to my plugin (ie. session data or session state).

I've settled on the idea presented at Info & data exchange between two addons.

In the meantime though, I tried the suggestion at Python Script Question - Getting previous state?, with strange results.

I had no 'resources' folder in the plugin's home folder, and therefore no 'settings.xml' there.

To see what would happen, I used Addon.setSetting to, uh, set a setting. It created a very simplistic settings.xml file in the userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.myaddon folder. Great. But, Addon.getSetting won't read from that file. Unless...

If there is a resources/settings.xml file in the plugin's home folder (I copied and edited it), it will read settings.xml in the userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.myaddon folder. It does not get the setting value from the settings file in the plugin's home resources folder.

That seems weird to me. Is this a bug, or by design?
