How to make customized widgets? - MrAngles - 2017-12-27 This probably isn't a skin-specific issue but I figured this is a good place to start. Please feel free to move the thread if needed. I'm using Arctic: Zephyr+, and I'm using a smart playlist for a "Up next to watch" widget. Code is as follows:
This works perfectly to display shows with any unwatched episodes for any shows the family has watched recently. Where it fails is when a new episode is added for a show that we haven't watched recently (such as a season premier). I have a separate smart playlist that serves this purpose, code below:
Ideally I'd probably like two separate widgets for the TV Shows menu item, one for each of these playlists, but it seems like that's really complicated with Arctic: Zephyr, so I'm looking at other options. I'd like to combine these somehow into a single widget. Combining them into a smart playlist doesn't work, because basing a smart playlist on another smart playlist ignores the order and limit of the original playlists. Is there an add-on that can create custom widgets that I could use for this purpose, or do I have to code my own add-on maybe? If the latter is the case, can anyone recommend an add-on to start tinkering with (Library Data Provider maybe?) or a resource for writing one from scratch? Thanks in advance for any help! RE: How to make customized widgets? - drc85 - 2018-01-30 is there a way to get the TV EPG show up as a widget? i only can assign it to a action but not as a widget... also im looking for a widget to show favourites? i was thinking about multiple favourites groups (fav1, fav2, fav3) and a widget where i can select wich group is displayed in the widget... its a little bit complicated to explain in englisch ... this would be nice for creating new menus.... |
