(You have a settingthat says “prefer star rating” instead of using the 78% match scheme) What I’m curious about is how would I alter each rating for a specific genre. So say a horror movie in my library has a 3 star rating. Instead of three star icons, I would use 3 skull icons. Or a romantic comedy would use 4 hearts to define its rating. Or slasher films using butcher knives. Or a comedy uses 3 laughing heads instead. I still don’t know if I explained that well. It basically replaces the ratings icons with a genre specific set. Probably a huge amount of work for a small visual enhancement that no one else would probably care about lol

Was able to confirm that widget constant refreshing is indeed due Kodi core behaviour announcing OnPlay/OnStop.
Could trace and change Kodi source to ignore this announcement and thus not force refreshing containers when auto-playing trailers.
If someone here has good cpp programming skills and is somewhat familiar with kodi's code and wants to help and make the PR, this would be great.
Moreover if others will 'vote' for this feature maybe someone would take the glove off and write the needed changes.
I thought of adding a parameter to playmedia built-in command that specifies to NOT REFRESH and bypass the directory refresh from onplay/onstop.
this would require changes in playmedia command and cDirectoryProvider (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/1ca9ef6737d5ae8647430a1c5b58110bac9ce6c6/xbmc/listproviders/DirectoryProvider.cpp#L219)
But am not sure of the work-map the variables are passed on and C skills are not good to be honest.

Not exactly clear on what I'm voting on here. The refreshing doesn't necessarily bother me unless it's causing issues with the spotlight widget not working as it should. I know that I only ever get one trailer to play on mine if I add more media to my library it will be a different one but always just the one even if I set it to a custom path. It would be nice if it were a different item every time I opened Kodi.

The refreshing issue is a huge annoyance for those that are using Auto-Trailers.

About spotlight - if set to recommendations based on recently watched it will change BASED ON RECENTLY WATCHED. or otherwise just set to whatever playlist or whatever you like, it's like any other widget with just tiny difference - it gets only the first item of the list. try setting a random based playlist and it'll change very often. The default changes mainly on library changes assuming spotlight should show new stuff (like netflix does).

Thanks for the tip I'll make a playlist with random sort order for the spotlight you sir are the man unless you are a woman in that case you're still pretty cool.

Also notice (red circled in 1st image) that selected hubs don't highlight as I saw in various skin screenshots, they only highlight when opening side menu. Tried to change every single custom color options but no luck... 

I suspect the two may be connected, Did you change the shortcuts of menu entries home/hubs/both?
Basically I think that it doesn't detect the window as 'bingieview' thus not having the vertical line indicator on menu and new episodes tag-overlay...

Just curious why don't you like them? looks just like Netflix.

The reason I want to turn them off is I am using an addon for my widgets and it has the new episodes available label for every single item in my widgets.

I used multiple settings for playlists, combine genres, exclude romance in action to minimalise duplicates.

Some widgets sorted by rating, others by year, title, date added or studio.
