I have the latest skin helper from git and latest madnox

NOTE : the pictures show that I selected Random episodes. It's not the case :-) was too eager to screenshot

I LOVED Shednox & was dreading having to use another skin, & I cant believe the amount of work that's gone into this. Thank you so so much for all your hard work & time, it's massively appreciated. This actually performs better in a few areas, most notably episode view, as the episode view on shednox would invariably stop displaying the posters randomly. If you have a 'Buy the developer a beer fund', point me to it, you can have a cold one on me!

I've answered one of my queries by searching the thread (library stats panel wasn't there, I had missed the fact you configure it yourself in customise main menu, sorted now though!).

My second query I cant find an answer to by searching, so my apologies if I've missed it.

In Shednox Helix there was a background wallpaper view I used called 'Live DVD case' & 'Live CD Case', but I cant find it on this version? Is it just not included, or have I missed an add on that's required for it?

I think you should make a playlist of the movies you want - if you want to show all movies you have, just make a playlist wothout any rules and set type to "movies" - give it a name and done
then choose backround for the menuitem you want in "setup madnox main menu" - scroll down ( a lot ^^ ) until you see your new generated playlist ( LIVE-Videoplaylist ... ) and select a special backround if you want and the cases and the order etc - this should work

Incidentally, I cant see a 'random music fanart' background option either, the movie & episode ones are there, but no music equivalent.

I think this was fixed 1 or 2 days ago

In case it matters, I'm running Openelec latest beta (Kodi 16.1) on an Athlon 5350 based system running from an ubuntu server with MySql database, & I upgraded from Helix to Openelec latest stable first.

you heard of LIBRE ELEC ? maybe you should take a look

Even after playing media still seeing same widgets on homescreen that defeats the whole purpose of having widgets if they are not going to auto update

When script.skinshortcuts v1.0.8 hits the repo (hopefully will be submitted in the next few days) and your system has updated to it, recreate any widgets provided by addons - that version of the script adds a reload property to all such widgets which will cause them to reload after media playback ends. The reload property is ultimately set by the Skin Helper Service, so will require that addon to be installed for the reload parameter to have any effect, and this change will only affect widgets which are set to addon nodes and only when they are recreated.

(Note that most of the widgets selectable by default - most notably those provided by Skin Helper and Library Data Provider - already have a reload parameter. This is for addons that you have browsed and selected a node to use as a widget)

Great. Will the covers also be updated, when a movie was played or the library was updated (with mysql)?

My only suggestion would be to not select any ordering for the widgets in the management dialog - both are provided by scripts (library data provider and skin helper), and they'll take care of the ordering of the episodes. I'm struggling to get near a proper computer for the next couple of days, but when I get the opportunity I'll grab out the links you can put directly into the action of a menu item to view the widget providers in the normal library view - if they're mis-ordered there, then the widget providers themselves aren't returning the items in the correct order; if they're not, then there's some setting in your install somewhere which is messing up the order when displaying in the widgets...

Edit: My mistake, Recently Added Episodes is actually provided directly by Kodi from the library path videodb://recentlyaddedepisodes/ - unless you've modded your library nodes, you can browse to this directly in the video library (it's linked to the Recently Added Episodes node in the root of the library) and check how the episodes are ordered there.
