On my installation of XBMC Frodo (stable) I'm seeing these warnings in my xbmc.log, when entering a TV show for the season overview:

Code:

22:44:10 T:3048209264 WARNING: GetIcon - Unknown nodetype requested videodb://2/2/42/0/?tvshowid=42

This happens with the default Confluence skin. Could someone explain what this means? I couldn't find anything in the forums about this error in current stable.

It's nothing to worry about - it's simply telling a developer that there's some debugging that isn't appropriate.

I'm seeing this a lot while navigating TV shows using stock Confluence with a tip of master XBMC Helix build... maybe the warning message itself is inappropriate?

Did you install xbmc Gotham at one point? I am wondering if your confluence was upgraded but not downgraded.

OpenELEC build, so I have whatever is on git. Unless its a database issue, the data would have been scraped under an earlier Gotham build.

Seeing that too

I'm getting one message for each season poster in "Thumbnail" view:

The above is for four seasons, plus "All Seasons". I have valid artwork for each season, and all of the expected artwork is being displayed.

This is the build I'm using: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1721127

It may be nothing to worry about, but it's setting off my OCD.

Since this "inappropriate debugging" is present in Confluence, would it be possible for Confluence to be fixed (with advice on what other skins need to do likewise) and/or tone down this log message from WARNING to DEBUG?

[jmarshall]

It's not skin-specific. It'll happen regardless of skin in most cases.

IMO the warning is useless, so can just be removed directly from the code.

Many thanks!
