I did a search and saw someone talking about a refresh timer on like page 36 but it didn't really explain what i wanted to know. I have multiple boxes that sit on the main page most of the time. I use them probaly once a day except for my main box which gets a lot of use. How do I get the other boxes to periodically update so that I don't have to go to another menu, or start a show and come back to get the skin widgets to refresh? Something like every 30 min or every hour would be fine, I just want them to refresh periodically.
Theres gotta be more people using this widget with multiple XBMC boxes than me....
+1; would also like to see this. I wonder if the implementation thereof would/could be at the skin (not widgets) level, though? Just a refresh timer, like LibraryAutoUpdate or the like?
This thread seems to have a lot more activity since I posted this awhile back. The only good way I have been able to force a refresh is to play and immediately stop the first item on my widgets. It's still faster than driving down into my library when I switch boxes but isn't Ideal. Luckily a lot of time we are watching different shows in different rooms so it isn't a problem but it would be really nice if idle boxes could keep the widget up to date periodically. Is this something I should be requesting my favorite skin to do and not the widgets themselves?
