Hi,

I have some trouble to get my addon (Rom Collection Browser) working with new Kodi version Leia.

There seems to be a change in the behaviour of the built-in container in WindowXML. When I add items directly to the built-in container via "self.addItem(listitem)", the list is not shown in my ui. When I add items to my list control via "self.getControl(50).addItem(listitem)", the list is shown again. (I am using the built-in container because I want to be able to provide different viewtypes.)

I have seen the "Changes to the python API" thread and know about the new "setContent()"-method and that I should use "isMedia" in the constructor of my WindowXML. But all this does not solve my issue, so I seem to be missing something.

I have created a simple test script to reproduce this behaviour:
Test script

This script is working fine with Krypton but does not work with Leia. Can somebody give me a hint how I have to modify the script or the skin file to get the built-in list working with Leia?

Best regards
Malte

i haven't tested it yet (can do later today), but one thing i noticed is you're missing a views definition in your skin xml file.
you need to add <views>50</views> to the window.

 Thanks a ton. I guess this is the solution. Never had this definition in my skin files but it seems to be required from now on.
