Alright, everyone! I've just released
3.3.0
, which adds a host of "convenience" features, mainly...
For starters, we can new create new groups and duplicate groups, from the "My Groups" menu. When doing so, you're greeted with a menu to choose which paths you want to copy into the new group. A similar selector is now also used when pointing a Cycling Widget, so you can choose which paths should be cycled through for that particular widget. For those of you who use the "Settings -> Clear Cache" option somewhat frequently, there is now a duplicate action at "Tools -> Clear Cache", so that you could point a skin shortcut to it, or add it to a Shortcut Group.
I've also added a
very simple "error state" widget, that could be shown if there is ever an error when loading the widget. This is not very well tested, but has shown up for me a number of times in development, when I goofed things up... so it is working as intended
On the topic of widgets, I've now also added two new options to the context menu on widgets. In addition to the "Force Refresh Widgets" option being added to the context menu on AutoWidget iteslf (back in January, but I think I forgot to say anything), you can now refresh an individual widget by choosing "Refresh Widget" on its context menu. You can also "Clear Cache" for a widget from the same menu, in order to make sure the displayed items are up-to-date with whatever data they should be showing.
In addition to this stuff, I've tried to support a bit more library stuff in this release, including adding support for cast thumbnails on items (this works for plugin paths too) in Kodi 20, support for country/genre/studio artwork packs (which can be chosen in Settings), and more accurate paths when opening library content from widgets.
Aside from all the new features, a good amount of work went into refactoring the directory creation process, so everything should be a tiny bit faster and more efficient, as well as hopefully more accurate with regards to item metadata and function
Keen eyes will also notice that I've removed the dependency on Kodi Six, and while that is a relatively common dependency that many users will need to have installed anyways, it knocks our footprint down just a little bit as well.
As always, enjoy, and if you find bugs for me, go ahead and report them at
