Widget content updating - datorkop85 - 2017-06-06

Hello,

Thank you for all your time on skinning - your work is awesome!

Is the content in the widgets supposed to update / refresh on startup? I use widgets for SVT Play (Swedish legal addon) and PBS Frontline (legal addon from Kodi repository) but the information does not seem to update when there are changes in those addons.

I encounter the same error if I use a Hub Item directly pointing to PBS Frontline = the content is not updated if I press the Hub Item.
So I have to go through the Video Add-on and after the first run, it gets updated from the Hub Item aswell.

Is this normal behaviour or is it my setup that is wicked?

There was some story way back on the internal clock Kodi has for the refreshing of widgets... Back then it was estimated at some 4h between refreshes, if memory serves. The easiest way to see what's going on would be to reliably determine if the refreshing is happening in a different skin, or if the behaviour is the same.
