Cant find the Widgets for Weather and Systeminfo in latest Beta Version?

I'm having trouble with widgets. They've gone missing -- at least most of them. I see the following messages in the log file:

There does not appear to be any directory '../extras/widgetplaylists'.

Also, if I try to assign new (replacement) widgets, the 'default widgets' listing comes up empty.

have an issue with my movies widgets. I have 2 widgets set up for movies - Recently added and in progress.

If I highlight movies and press up to bring up the widgets I get the in progress one. If I then press up again it starts cycling through the widgets I have set for TV Shows and never returns to the movies ones.

Skin is up to date. Unfortunately I don't have details to hand of which "mode" I have the home screen set to. I think it's something like simple horizontal. I can confirm and report back later if required.

I also had a problem when in the movies library. It was showing the same large thumbnail for every movie (Netflix view). Which happened to be whichever background was displaying on the homescreen when I selected to go into the movie library. Not sure if that was a one off glitch though as haven't yet had chance to reboot and check again.

Can you check this again with the latest beta skin version (.91) ?
A lot of code was altered last weeks and I fixed all issues I spotted myself while testing.

Movies widget problem is still happening with 6.9.92. I even now get a "Background overlay images" widget randomly appear when trying to cycle through the movies widgets

New bug with the actual versions: After every start of Kodi / SPMC the "grey fog" is back. I've choosen "none" for the background overlay texture and in the options it is active. But everytime I make a restart, the grey fog is back again. But in the options "None" is active. Then I choose "none" again and the fog is away, until next restart of Kodi ...

Problems after updating to 6.9.93

- The global randomized image background shows black now, and the Global Background setting isn't working
* Is there any new setting that should I need to set?

EDIT: Some of the fanarts wasn't loaded yet so this is why the black screen is.
It seems that I need manually go over each item in my libraries in order to reload each fanart.

But the another problem is why all my fanarts have been changed to other fanarts from what I chose before?
When I go to the "Choose art" it does show the previous fanart which is set, so why does it still show another fanart instead?

- The widgets are not working or not stable.

- "Open/Focus submenu at click on mainmenu item" was changed from Off to On after skin update. Check this.

- "Show OSD infopanel on pause and seed" isn't working properly since the update when it's OFF. On each resume from pause, the OSD shows up.

- Also having problem with exiting kodi, stuck.

I was seeing the same fanart issue with the .93 beta and fixed it by deleting the Textures13.db and restarting Kodi.

Thank you, I forgot to try this solution. It did the work.
But it seems that I still need to go one by one in order to refresh the fanarts so it could be used for the background also.
Otherwise it will be still presented as Black screen.
Is there any quick way to make it update itself will all the fanarts?

What do you mean exactly ? You need to restore the background image for each shortcut ?
It wasn't possible to auto migrate all settings in the update, for example the shortcuts are left untouched.

Cant find the Widgets for Weather and Systeminfo in latest Beta Version?

Select widget --> Default widgets --> All the way at the bottom

[burekas]

I add new bug to my post:
- "Show OSD infopanel on pause and seed" isn't working properly since the update when it's OFF. On each resume from pause, the OSD shows up.

Regarding the fanarts so yes, I need for example go over each movie in my library in order to make the skin use them for the random background.
For those I don't go over them, they will be remain as Black image.

You need to reassign your widgets. If the list comes up empty, there will most probably be an error logged in your kodi logfile, can you check for that ?
Also, make sure you have latest updates from yesterday as I fixed something in that area last night.

Please re-assign your widgets to get rid of the strange labels you currently see.
About your original issue/question: You do know that it is by design that if you press UP in the widget panel it rotates to the next widget ?

Oh, and to be sure: What homemenu layout are you using ?

Ah, good spot, there was another error. Will fix it for next update.

The "Select Background" button in Configure shortcuts isn't working.
