I have only one question, that I believe is unanswered from above as well... This may be a generic-Estuary question; although your configuration is different I can't seem to find the recommended menu path.
My goal is for the widgets shown on the home-menu (In Progress, Recently Added, etc) to order by Date Added Descending, and remove watched. I think @oledb0815 is asking the same question and wondering whether the widgets are linked to the "nodes"?
Someone above wrote about including the watched movies, yet mine are already included -- and I don't have the playlist file they mentioned, unless they are not referring to the /userdata/playlists directory, but somewhere else?
Thanks again for the great skin, sorry to bother you with such newb questions!
OK, this is going to stretch my understanding of the Kodi internals a bit, but let me see what I can do. There are two separate things going on with the right hand of the home screen.
The first one is the categories area. For Music, TV, and Movies those use something relatively new to Kodi called Nodes. So you can use the Node Editor addon to reorder, rename, add, and delete things in the categories area of those three sections.
The second one is all the lists of stuff (recently added movies, recently added TV Shows, random Music, etc). I believe those are all driven by playlists you can find in the skin folder in a directory called playlists. For instance, heres the recent_unwatched_episodes playlist from Estuary (and my mod):
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
<name>Recent Unwatched Episodes</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="dateadded" operator="after">
<value>1900-01-01</value>
</rule>
<rule field="playcount" operator="lessthan">
<value>1</value>
</rule>
<limit>15</limit>
<order direction="descending">dateadded</order>
</smartplaylist>
That playlist determines the content of the Recently Added Episodes widget on the right when your in the TV shows section. You can modify that and get a different list of episodes. Same goes the other widgets. If you want something different, you probably need to edit the correct playlist. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you do that, you should store a copy of the updated one somewhere. Why? Because if I update the skin and push that out, your changes will be overwritten. So you'll want to save a copy so you can change them back.
BTW, none of what I described is specific to my mod. This is all default Estuary behavior. I hope that helps.
