Like this (weather:-7C) (current time:3:18) (end time:4:01)
As it stands I can't see the progress without pausing or bringing up the info box by hitting up on the OSD. I could spare the 2-5px to optionally have the bar on top of the OSD (or behind the OSD).
The endtime display is a wife dealbreaker because she wants to know exactly when something will end at a glance and liked that about 1080XF.

As quite a few people want this feature, I've added it on latest git. The clock now shows the finish time next to it -- I think having the weather is a little excessive though. The clock will now also show when just the osd controls are up.

The Library Data Provider episode issue has been fixed now in the latest version, however the random movie refresh issue remains. Will ask on their forum about it.

@mikkelnl - I'm on RPI2 and find the widget loading very fast, with only about a second of the loading animation. Guessing it could be down to the speed of the sd card you're using?

In my older skin the ones I particularly liked were ones for BBC IPlayer (popular,sport,scifi, documentaries and music) and a few more from the extended info script (namely engadget, eurogamer and mobile tech reviews)
I added them locally but thought I would see if they were of interest to you (and would therefore submit a pull request).

i'm curious about two things. 1) are these options in the repo version 1.1.5? it didn't look like it from what i saw and 2) is the new episodes playlist more similar to recently added or in progress? i don't necessarily mind the delay on the widgets but if i could get in progress without a delay it would be ideal.

Plus the custom widgets allow for setting a widget from any video library path by simply going to the side menu and setting the custom widget -- rather than add widget options some people will be unable to use, I would rather just add a couple more custom widget options so that there are four which gives plenty of room for customisation.

I don't see engadget, eurogamer and mobile tech in the extendedinfo script? Are you sure they aren't from other addons?
If they're just video addons then I would rather just leave it up to users to set the paths as custom widgets themselves - gives much greater flexibility.

Thanks I never knew how to work the custom widgets and having just tried again I still cannot work it out...when I click on Skin Settings->Widgets->Custom widget 1 it only allows me to set a label...cannot for the life of me work out how to get it to set to a video addon or any other path for that matter.

The engadget, eurogamer and mobile tech are via the youtube search of the extended info script. Here's the full urls:
