I'm having an issue with making a shortcut point to the Disney+ video add-on. I can get it to work for other add-ons, but keep getting an error.

I've tried the following paths:
* RunPlugin("plugin://slyguy.disney.plus")
* plugin://slyguy.disney.plus

When I add it as a favorite, it has the command "RunAddon(slyguy.disney.plus)" but that doesn't work and when I try to use the favorite as a autowidget shortcut it fails. 

Here is the log where I click on the autowidget and it fails: https://pastebin.com/0dwP0Yt8

Are you simply trying to have a shortcut to the root menu of the add-on? If so, then you should be able to do it from the "Video Add-ons" menu successfully. Is that what you've done?    

Yes, that is what I did. I also tried to go into the add-on and create a shortcut of a sub menu item, but it gives me the same error.

The only reason I tried to create it from the favorites is that it does open successfully directly from there.

Ope, another look at your log and I found the issue I can fix that

EDIT: And... fixed in 1.6.7.

EDIT 2: I've actually just pushed 1.6.8, which adds a setting to disable the notification sound... It's been driving me nuts

What I want to do is create a widget which effectively duplicates what would normally be a sub menu (the sub menu is just too small for my fingers hence the need to move it to a widget).  In this case it would be a sub menu for add on so the sub-menu widget would contain shortcuts to, for example, add on browser, file manager, video add on.
I cannot see a way of doing that in autowidgets because it wants the shortcut to be to a path rather than an action (such ActivateWindow (Addonbrowser)).
Am I missing something obvious or is this just something auto widgets cannot do?

No that does not work for me, or to be strictly accurate using the Silvio skin, it does not work if the shortcut is part of a skin widget.  I suspect this is probably the same problem which I ran across when trying to include a refresh widget shortcut in a different widget. This may or may not have the same issues with other skins.  I only wish I had the coding skills to help.

One other question: when I go into path editor there appears to be appears to be 2 different ids: one is for the relevant group and is a long hexadecimal string the other  id is to each specific shortcut eg if I was to create a shortcut to Trending Today in TMDB Helper) the id might be "Trending Today - 1234567879.99". 
Can that second id be edited without breaking things? So for example if I created the Trending Today shortcut and then edited it so it was a shortcut to ActivateWindow(FileManager) would changing the shortcut id to "File Manager -1234..." work if I did it immediately after creating the shortcut?  It is just a small point.

Just to be clear I really like this add on, I am just struggling a little

When i add something new to the shortcuts group, sometimes I want to move it all the way to the top of the list. I know theres a Shift up and Shift down option, but shifting the bottom shortcut all the way to the top is a bit time consuming for some of my shortcut groups. So my question is, can an option be added to Shift to top? Or like Superfavorites does, if the shortcut is at the end you can choose Move down even if its already at the bottom of the list and puts it at the top. Thanks!

I think it could definitely be done to simply let them loop around. I don't mind this idea at all, but definitely want to consider how many things end up in the context menu in the end, so I think that would be the simplest course of action.

For example, trying to add a File Manager shortcut to a shortcut group. Normally by creating a custom submenu/or Superfavorite shortcut I can just use ActivateWindow(filemanager), and that works, tried adding a random shortcut to the group and tried changing the path to ActivateWindow(filemanager), but AW doesnt seem to like that. For now my workaround is creating the custom shortcut in Superfavorites and adding that to the autowidget shortcut group and that works. Do you know what path would work for File Manager for example?

I have been thinking something like that needs to be in... but haven't figured out exactly how I want to implement it.

I'm pretty sure you should be able to use the path you said though, but the "random" shortcut you add needs to be an "action", like "Force Refresh Widgets".

Ahh, i get what your saying and you gave me the clue.  So setting the Content and the window n the edit path section is key. Content=files, Window=Programs as far as file manager goes, . Gotcha.. Thanks.

1.6.8 is working great, thanks for your hard work fixing the issues I had.
There is one thing I would like to address however. For some of the streaming services I use, when adding a tv-series as a shortcut, the path element “window” is set to program instead of videos. This makes the path unusable since I can’t open and play the episodes in the list. I can fix this by editing the path and change “window” from program to videos.
I guess that this have something to do with how autowidget decides whats the content in combination with how the content is set by the addon? I have checked against the addons and the system window is set to videos.
I can provide a debug log later today if needed.
