Widget Programs - Smokeycoles - 2022-05-19

Hello

Are there any other Widget addon's other than AutoWidget, which allow you to create Widgets with shortcuts to Kodi Video Addons.
I know the skin Reaper also does this.  

Does anyone know other Addons they can refer me to create widgets?

Thanks
Chris

create Widgets with shortcuts to Kodi Video Addons there are skins that you can use skinshortcuts with

Skin Shortcuts is a script used by skins to manage user shortcuts, including main menus, sub menus and custom widgets.

@the_other_guy

Sorry I don't think I understood.  I am using Artic Zyphur at the moment.

I can create a widget in my Skin Customise Menu

If I go to Custom Widget.

I then have a SubGroup Menu, I can each video AddOn individually.

YouTube/Plex/DailyMotion/NASA etc

And it works (almost perfectly!)
Functionality wise it is perfect so thank you.


My question now is, on my Widgets it displays a blank video icon for each one.
So youtube icon doesnt display or daily motion, or nasa show their unique icons.  They just show a playlist looking icon.


What am I doing wrong, or is this a constraint of this method?


Thanks for the help
