Allow ColorPicker to be used as a python module

I have a plugin that would benefit from using the ColorPicker as a module so that it can be easily invoked from the settings screen as well as allow me to overload methods for custom functionality.

I have this working by exposing resources/lib as a python module extension in addons.xml, and replacing all global constants with class properties that default to those global constants.

This is working great. I can easily supply my own color palette from within my non-skin addon, and I overloaded save_color_setting so that it saves values to the addon's settings.

I can submit a pull request if interested.

Add-on Installed But Fails To Launch in Kodi 20.0

I've successfully used Skin Helper Service ColorPicker on 2 Android TV boxes, one running Kodi 18.1 and the other Kodi 19.3, but on a 3rd one with the latest Kodi 20.0 it installs fine, but when going to pick a custom colour (in Aeon Nox Silvo skin), it simply comes up with Skin Helper Service ColorPicker Error. I've tried to Install from zip using the latest download, and it tells me it was updated, but no change in behaviour. I've even manually replaced all the files, but it just prompted me to install the add-on again, and once again I can't use it. I've had a look online for a potential answer, but all I've seen is people mention it doesn't work with Kodi 20.0.

I've attached the log file, which mentions script.skin.helper.colorpicker numerous times, so if there is something I can manually edit in default.py or something, I'd happily do that to get this working. Also, I went to see if I could update it, but it isn't listed in the installed add-ons section, though it's definitely installed. Many thanks in advance.

default colours removed when cancelling change

Hi Marcel,

Whenever I open any dialog to change a colour and back out of that dialog without having changed any colour, the default colour is not applied. If am changing the background colour for instance this then becomes transparent. I checked this in other skins and they show the same behaviour.

Is there any way to prevent this?

Cheers,
Jeroen

Solution:
script.skin.helper.colorpicker\resources\lib\ColorPicker.py

replace lines 15, 16, and 17 with

COLORFILES_PATH = xbmcvfs.translatePath("special://profile/addon_data/%s/colors/" % ADDON_ID)
SKINCOLORFILES_PATH = xbmcvfs.translatePath("special://profile/addon_data/%s/colors/" % xbmc.getSkinDir())
SKINCOLORFILE = xbmcvfs.translatePath("special://skin/extras/colors/colors.xml")

only need to change xbmc.translatePath to xbmcfvs.translatePath, will solve.

ShortcutProperty Bug

This is failing to save shortcut properties. Bug is in wait_for_skinshortcuts_window() and fixed by adding ! to the ColorPicker.XML check.
