I'm having trouble with getting the "PVR Channels" widget to work, whereas the "PVR Channels (with artwork)" works fine.
It just won't show anything, i had the same problem in Jarvis with an older version of mimic, but it somehow started to work.
If this isn't skin related then sorry.

I installed TITAN and set it up then switched back to MIMIC, but still no backgrounds.

Not chasing, just informing Smile

I had the same issue, was fixed in beta version of skin helper service.

This has been exactly my experience. Titan used to have code that wiped out the skinshortcuts menus. I thought this was recently fixed in the Titan beta, but maybe not.

I recently set menu and widget defaults for Mimic so it is easier/quicker to get going if they get reset.
Another little glitch I had, In the widget menu, the first line has no name and if I enter it it has the same entry than the second line just in different order.

Yeah, I haven't been able to figure this one out. Something to do with skin helper service, but nothing I've tried has gotten rid of that item.

Yeah that was pretty quick, and I found some new default better than what I have before, so It wasnt so bad that everything was set back to default Smile
Another little question, the master branch of kodi is now version 18 does master branch of mimic will continue to work with it or I better switch kodi branch to krypton ?
If you're using the beta version of Skin Helper, that label has been removed from it. The relevant label will be added to Skin Shortcuts when this PR is merged.

With the version from this PR label is now longer empty now is called "widgets par défaut" (default widgets in english) but it still a duplicate of the second entry that is just called widgets.
Mimic uses the Skin Shortcuts scripts default widget groupings which includes the 'Default widgets' item. Mimic then itself defines 'Widgets' as an additional widget option. It's defined twice (albeit in two different places), so it shows twice.
Thanks for your explanation.

The master branch is Mimic 5 for Kodi 17. I need to delete the kodi18 branch, that's the one I was using before when I was going to hold Mimic 5 back for Kodi 18.

Thanks Bob! I'm curious about the need for both widget items in that list, will review again once the labels are added.

Update: I was too slow, thanks for the explanation. I'll remove one of the widget items. Smile
