a lot of Super Favorites can be replaced with nodes if autowidget can work with nodes

with just the best bits of your favourite addons can be done with nodes
play your favourite music, read your favourite comic strips, can be done with nodes
select your favourite playlists, can be done with nodes
browse your favourite movies, can be done with nodes
listen to your favourite radio stations, can be done with nodes
watch your favourite cartoons, can be done with nodes

One thing I did notice though... is the ability to edit artwork now broken? It just throws an error now when I go in via Edit Path-> art:icon/thumb   

Oh dang! It shouldn't be... Can you post the error or a log?  

Yeah sure, this is the relevant part from the log:

The thought would be that I could create a hub, add a bunch of widgets to that hub and when I went into that hub it would be all of the widgets displayed in rows one after the other.

Here is an example:


So in AutoWidget I would create a hub called "Kids Hub" and then add the "Kids Television In Progress", "Kid's TV Favorites", and "Kids Movies (Recently Added)" widgets to that hub. Then when I went into the hub it would display like above.

You could do that by creating a menu item called Kids Hub in your skin then adding the widgets to it. That would seem to be the logical way to do it.

Yeah, it kind of doesn't sound like that's a good candidate for using AutoWidget? In that instance, I'd simply set up the hub/menu in your skin, and then point individual widgets.

You could, perhaps obviously, use AutoWidgets inside your hub, for more variety

I'm assuming that I'm using a different skin than you are as I'm not seeing the ability to do what you are talking about.

In Embuary I have hubs for Movie, TV, Music and a Custom hub that I can add widgets to but that is it. When I create a menu item, I can point it to an AutoWidget but when I click on that it only displays the items for the first widget (more like a shortcut to the content for just the first widget). What I am talking about is when you enter into a menu item, it will display those widgets like in my example above.

However, I got a crash when trying to play widget shortcuts that is a movie or episode. I have tried with different sources/plugins and with different skins. Oddly it works when using Artic Horizon but it fails when using Artic Zephyr.

Thanks for the reply and this AWESOME add-on.

My problem is that in Embuary, I only have one hub (Custom Hub) that I can do this in and I was hoping to be able to create more than just one.

My thought was to be able to point a menu item at an AutoWidget hub and when that opened, you would have just those widgets in that AutoWidget hub.

I've never really used Embuary & didn't realise it was that restrictive. Certainly in Arctic Horizon or Arctic Zephyr 2 you can add multiple widgets, as you can in most skins. Maybe there is a way to do it in Embuary, it seems odd that they don't have this functionality.

Here's how it looks in Arctic Horizon with two widgets added:
