EDIT: I think I like the lower one a little better
Although: the upper one is also cool

in my opinion you are better qualified than me for these things

Maybe you like to do a PR Maybe I'll make it too, if you dont like, but currently I'm busy with the Litebox integration, so it could take a while
PR with things, i have tested: https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arc...d/pull/338
Thanks again for your suggestion and mockup Looks absolutely cool!
Note: That was just a try, if this could work, for now, so maybe a few things in code need s improvements

1. No matter which Home Menu style I adopt, when I scroll across the menu to TV Shows, it still shows movie posters -- not TV posters? At the moment I'm using Classic, but it does the same thing with Modern Multi-Widgets and Modern Multi-Widget Netflix?

Please set your favourite widget content in skin settings - home - customize home menu There you can choose TV shows, Episodes, Artists, ..., nearly what ever you want.

Thanks. Worked it out.
Have set Menu items to Titles with Poster view.
Under TV Shows, I have added a second widget for In Progress Shows.
All looks good, the trouble is it takes ages to load - am I doing something wrong?

What exactly do you mean with "it takes ages to load"?
Do you have local content or do you use online content? What value of "Limit number of titems in widget" is set?

Are the thumbs already generated and cached locally by Kodi, or are the thumbs generated the first time the widget is loaded?

So will likely explain why the thumbnails are local.(2021-06-28, 13:57)beatmasterrs Wrote:That's the question isn't it?(2021-06-28, 13:52)revhead Wrote: Local content stored on an Amahi server connected via ethernet. 1500 movies, 5000 or so TV episodes (no online stuff) - no limit for widgets?

Bearing in mind paths have been converted to Special.
Did a bit of searching and found plenty of thumbnails in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/thumbnails ... size 252.2 MB
Nothing however in special://profile/Thumbnails . . . don't know much about this I'm afraid.
Thanks for your help.
