Yeah they work but I had to start from scratch to finally get there. Ill have to check when I get home from work on the smart playlist but I avoid skin helper as much as I can as it just slows things down.

Is there a way to make a next up episodes widget without skinhelper?

Not sure I dont use that widget I dont like it. My personal preference is to use the in progress tv shows and rename it Continue watching to stay up to date with the shows I am currently watching and to have a proper poster.

True but then you never get the progress bar indicator for episodes on the home screen then do you?
