I'm still using service.skin.widgets.  Maybe this has been deprecated by the other skin helpers?  At any rate I fixed it up to be Python2/3 compatible but can't find any repo upstream from  repo-scripts to submit a PR against.  The listed owner is Martijn and the linked source is Kodi-addons which has only an outdated version (0.0.27 -- current is 0.0.33).

There is none as far as I know. The master on the Kodi-addons repo is 0.0.30. I assume the recent version never was pushed to it or the branch got deleted by mistake (who knows).

I would submit it to this one and ping @ronie . He was the last one who commited something.

It's been depreciated by lists that take dynamic content. Running a service that populates a window properties per widget item to use as static items in a list is a really excessive approach for something that can be easily achieved by sticking a library path in a dynamic content tag.

For instance:

Random Movies:
Code:
<content target="videos" sortby="random" limit="10">videodb://movies/titles/</content>

Recently Added Movies:
Code:
<content target="videos" limit="10">videodb://recentlyaddedmovies/</content>

In-Progress (aka Recommended) Movies:
Code:
<content target="videos" limit="10" sortby="lastplayed" sortorder="descending">videodb://movies/titles/?xsp=%7b%22rules%22%3a%7b%22and%22%3a%5b%7b%22field%22%3a%22inprogress%22%2c%22operator%22%3a%22true%22%2c%22value%22%3a%5b%5d%7d%5d%7d%2c%22type%22%3a%22movies%22%7d</content>
