Once you have that branch installed and have a widget selected, click the button to select a widget again and scroll to the bottom of the list that appears and choose 'Custom item'. Then add the relevant widgetReload parameter in the text editor that appears.

That's what I thought when I read you first post, however I do not have "Custom Item" as an option under widgets( at the end).I DO have Custom Widget 1-4, which has been there all along......does that have anything to do with it? I can edit custom widget 1-4 in the Skin settings...

I want to make sure, this is the zip file ? https://github.com/Ignoble61/script.skinshortcuts/archive/widgets.zip


EDIT: Just tried this on my windows machine as well.....I'm pretty sure I put it in the correct folder ( replacing addons/script.skinshortcuts) but still not " custom" option on the widget select screen on the skin settings.....please show me what I am missing

Just checked with the version of Arctic Z I have installed and it shows fine at the bottom of the dialog that shows when I choose 'Widget' from the menu customiser. I don't, though, have the custom widget 1-4 options, so it may be we're using different versions of the skin - only versions using what we refer to as the GUI 312 method of Skin Shortcuts to select widgets will work with the workaround on git.

The disappearing widgets are due to the use of templates I believe. There is a way to use unique IDs and there is a autoreload method to keep them from disappearing.

Is this related?

Since introducing templates, widgets aren't autoupdating. I have my YouTube subs as a widget but it doesn't autoupdate once I watched a video. I have to either reassign the widget on Home Menu skin settings, or quit and open Kodi again.

We're aware of this issue with skins using Skin Shortcuts templates feature to build widgets, and we're considering options for solving it in the future. As an interim solution, I've PR'd this branch which allows you to edit a widget (Choose Widget, then Custom Item - the last item in the list). With that, you can add one of Skin Helper's reload parameters to the widget path, which will update the widget after media is played.

To install the branch, download the zip and manually extract it, then replace the contents of addons/script.skinshortcuts with the contents of the zip. The addons folder can be found one folder 'up' from the userdata (wiki) folder.

The various reload parameters are detailed here - to use them:-

If the path already has a question mark - ? - in it, at the end of the path add a '&' and...
If the path doesn't have a question mark in it, at the end of the path add a '?' and...

...add widgetReload= and the appropriate widget reload from that post. For example, to refresh after watching a movie only for a path that already has a ? in it, you'd add

Code:

&widgetReload=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(widgetreload-movies)]

Note this won't work for all widgets (extended info widgets, for example, will break with this method). So if the widget stops returning the results you'd expect, delete the parameter you added.

Version 2.1.2. Can't remember where I got it to be perfectly honest, as I do a lot of work with a lot of versions of a lot of skins - though it will either be the repo or from Jurial's git. It may also be worth grabbing the latest version of the relevant Skin Shortcuts branch as I've just improved the behaviour of the code (though I appreciate that's only relevant if you can actually see the Custom Item option)

(Edit:- The branch now also contains the first-attempt at what will hopefully be the final solution, so you should - if this early version of the code is doing what its meant to be doing correctly - find that plugin-based widgets created with the 'gui 312' method have the relevant reload parameter added to them automatically when they're selected.)
