I don't know what this means ?? Care to explain what it does?

Yeah I need to fix up the playlist/queue window -- it's currently a bit broken.

@jurialmunkey

You choose a bunch of different paths and cycle between them, displaying a different path each time in a random order with said label, having the option to select the time interval. You can also have a look at Autowidget (Cyclying mode).

@jurialmunkey

Would it be possible to add auto play trailer like spotlight, to widgets and view modes please or point me in right direction so I could add to mine if u don't want to add it to a future update.

Thanks for your work loving this skin

I'm not sure if any other styles of widget suit studios/genres etc. considering that the icons are on square canvas. What style exactly are you expecting to work with studios? Because I can't see any reason to use landscape/poster/banner/card for these...

What exactly are you referring to when you say "custom nodes"? If you mean that you want something similar to a submenu where you can configure individual shortcuts but use it as a widget (e.g. sort of like a "favourites" widget) then I will have something like this built in directly to the widgets customisation very soon. EDIT: This is now in the skin. Choose "Experimental > Submenu" for the widget and then you will get an option "Edit items" where you can choose whatever items you want the widget to have.

If you mean dynamic content via the skinvariables custom filter, I'm not sure I understand how exactly that would work ??

Basically want to create something like in this image here: https://imgur.com/SZOZPCx but using the providers widget. I prefer the landscape style and like setting custom images that are higher quality as the default ones on square are a bit pixelated for me.

Hey @jurialmunkey 

Does "Hide Widget Initialisation Behind Splash' not work in Classic Mode ? (v0.4.14)

Works fine in my Categories setup, but when switching Skin shortcuts to a Classic mode setup, it doesn't seem to initialise behind splash, goes straight into home page. Wondering if there's a reason for that.

P.s thanks for "Top Widget focus" on Classic mode that we spoke about on github.

No, it won't work for classic because it's basically a check to see if the spotlight has loaded (spotlight has a static ID of 301 so it's easy to use as the check).

I did consider checking top widget ID instead for classic but the other problem is that focusing the sidemenu cancels the splash (to give a way out by pressing back if the spotlight gets stuck loading). Classic starts with focus on the sidemenu so it'd always cancel the splash immediately (and there's nothing else to go "back" to from sidemenu to use to cancel onfocus).

In 0.4.14+ it is very simple to add a custom submenu as a widget
  • Open widget customisation
  • Find the spot you want the widget and add a new one.
  • Select "Experimental > Custom Submenu" as the Action
  • Select "Edit items"
  • Add your provider links
  • Add your icons for each provider

That's it. You can move items and rename as you need. Will appear as a normal widget and can be used to stack.

There is already a request for this

Next version of skin variables will support adding a randomise param which will select from the paths at random.
Code:
"randomise": "true"

It will do this each time the list is reloaded.

I think setting a time interval is overengineering things and will lead to the same issues as autowidget had.

Ah excellent thank you. Also thanks for your patience and willingness to help! Loving the skin 😊

Quick Query in reference to this, as I'm away atm, so cannot test myself.
As you're aware I use library for all my widgets, with are set to random. The annoyance is, as you know, every trailer I view refreshes the line up, would using this stop that issue?

It randomises the path chosen from a list of paths, not the items inside - so, no, it wouldn't help at all.

The purpose is to have a single widget which will select one widget from several different widget paths at random when the widget reloads (e.g. could have multiple playlists or genres etc. and it will pick one at random) -- so if anything it'd make the trailer issue worse because not only are your items randomising inside the widget but also the path to the widget itself.


RE: Arctic Fuse - Sptz87 - 2023-12-06

I've noticed when I go to tv shows and select a show that has more than one season it opens up all seasons but the "selector/highlight" defaults to the "..." button, so it shows other random shows above it, which makes it really weird and disconcerting, I have to press right to go to All Seasons or each individual one. Horizon 2 didn't have this behavior at all IIRC.

Any way to fix this?

Many thanks!

So I've tried with v2.0.14 and I'm still unable to cycle different paths. I'm not looking to merge entries of different paths together.

What I mean is having the option to add different paths and have Skinvariables pick one of them and display it on the same widget row each time you reload the skin.

For example I have made a custom list of every genre from Mdblist with my personal preferences and Mdblist randomizes the entire list every 24 hours so you don't get stuck with the same 20 entries for an expanded period of time. Now I have made a Genre widget and I want to add all my custom paths and have Skinvariables pick one of them at random.
