@Jeroen thanks for adding the option for a Favourites widget, just to let you know when I add the favourites widget from the first list the video addons are listed but you can't open them. With the work around from your previous post I can open them, not a problem for me but just to make you aware.

Hm, that's weird as they should basically do the same thing. I'll take a look what is making the difference. Cheers!

This seems more difficult to tackle than I anticipated, or I am just missing something completely obvious. I guess it has to do with favourites being a source with mixed media, and even non-media items. When I set up a widget source in the skin code I am supposed to tell the skin / Kodi what to do with it, and in which window. With favourites this it could be anything of course, contrary to for example a recently added movies widget where it's clear what needs to happen when you click an item in it.

So I am guessing (again) that when you select one manually from the widgets list, Kodi will "guess" what needs to happen on an individual basis.

I also tried just leaving out any fixed declaration, but it doesn't change anything unfortunately.

As there is another way to do this I will leave it for now and hope to find a solution at some point. I will however include a shortcut to the default widgets sourced from add-ons what provide widget paths. This will at least save you a couple of clicks.

@Jeroen I can give more detail if you need it to diagnose the difference.

On a separate note I'm seeing something odd with PVRGuide and PVRChannels, the [media:description] variable which should should ListItem.Plot is just showing the Title of the programme. If I amend the viewguide.xml directly and put ListItem.Plot the plot appears so it looks like something with the variable, is anyone else seeing this? If it is already being looked at then I'll wait but if not I can do some investigation and try to establish which line is causing the issue.

Edit: Doublechecking variable and xml names.

Did you find anything on this? I am not seeing this behaviour and in this variable there's never a fallback to the title so I can't find an explanation for it.
