I've had to go back and reinstall Kodi and reinstall this skin.  It install's ok, but everything I try to do comes up with errors.  For instance, every time I do something with the skin, it says it want's to download and install the addon "Skin Helper Service".  It can't, because the addon NOW requires Python 3.  That's fine, since Kodi 19 will require it.  But I'm just using the latest stable 18.7.  I also can't install "Extendedinfo Script", "Library Data Provider", and "Skin Helper Service Widgets".  Is there any way, possibly with an alternative repository, that I can install these addons with an older Python dependency?  I tried upgrading to Kodi 19 alpha as a test, but most of the addons I use haven't been updated to Python 3 yet, so I get an error about the older Python is missing.

I will provide addons on the drive to regular VIPs soon.

Ah cool.  I'll need help accessing the drive, don't remember how.  Thanks!

Files on the drive, I send invite to drive, any help, let me know. Install first the modules.

After modules installed, install scripts and services add-ons.

Any regular VIP, please request access to drive, if need the files.

I haven't received the invite yet.  I checked my PM's here, my regular email, and my Gmail account.

Nevermind. I see it as a shared folder on my drive.google.com. 
Thanks!

Here are my results:

script.module.cherrypy.zip -success
script.module.kodi65.zip -fails
script.module.metadatautils.zip -fails
script.module.youtube.dl.zip -success
-
script.extendedinfo.zip -success
script.skin.helper.skinbackup.zip -success
script.skin.helper.widgets.zip -fails
-
script.skin.helper.service.zip -fails
service.library.data.provider.zip -success
service.skin.widgets.zip -success

I did those in that order.  After finishing, I went back and re-tried the failed ones:

script.module.kodi65.zip -success
script.module.metadatautils.zip -fails
script.skin.helper.widgets.zip -fails
script.skin.helper.service.zip -fails

The 3 remaining still error out with the Python 3.0.0 dependency.  After getting this far, Kodi reports that there are 3 updates available:

Library Data Provider - 0.4.0.1 (from xbmcbrazil) - fails (python 3)
Skin Helper Service Skin Backup - 3.0.0 (from xbmcbrazil) - success
youtube-dl Control - 20.324.0+matrix.1 (from xbmcbrazil) - fails (python 3)

The 2 that fail have older versions available from the official Kodi Repo, so I'm guessing they're still ok.  Any ideas about the others? So in total, I (and other users) would still need pre-python 3 compatible files:

script.module.metadatautils.zip
script.skin.helper.widgets.zip
script.skin.helper.service.zip

Thanks!

Remove our repo. It's only for use with Kodi 19.

Available on the drive, 3 new modules, install and try again

script.module.arrow
script.module.musicbrainz
script.module.autocompletion

I think I figured it out last night after my post.  I started over again, and this time I ran through and installed everything before installing the script.  Seems to have worked that way.  Also, I do have a zip containing the repo that I've had on my computer since using MQ8.  It's version 2.0.1.  It worked fine.  Kodi now says there is a version 3.0.0 of the repo that I have NOT installed yet.  Seems to be the trick.  I think the problem might have been because I had the skin already installed, and the repo had been updated.

So going forward, for everybody else to....  Manually install the files, THEN install the skin.  DO NOT UPDATE THE REPO!

Thanks Wanilton!
