Unfortunately it's still a problem. If I update my library my tvshows order changing. And just restart xbmc solve the issue.

[queeup]

I think problem is "def _update(self, type)"
It's not honor to my options.

[queeup]

Still problem with latest git changes. Even Random & Recommended False on my settings after library update it makes my TvShows order Random or whatever it is.

[Martijn]

It doesn't work is not a problem description.

I'm not going to guess what and where it doesn't work. Only thing you that you say is that there's an issue for you.

[queeup]

No i told you. When I trigger library update on XBMX _update() triggered on skin widgets. And even I am closed random and recommend from settings its changing my tvshows list on home screen.

And coming back to home screen not helping to bring just recent items list. Just restart xbmc solving.

[Martijn]

i still have no clue what you are even talking about

[queeup]

LoL.

OK let me show you how to reproduce this bug.

Just look at my setting above and set like my setting. Then go XBMC home-tvshows. While looking skin widgets created list trigger xbmc library update.

You are laughing queep, but the language barrier is almost impossible to break. Make some screenshots please.

[queeup]

Yes i realize that. I will try to explain better after my business trip over.

[queeup]

If I go to widget settings and enable recommended does that setting gets saved when I leave widget setting window?

only if you click on OK. All the rest cancels the changes

OK, I am confirming every change made to widgets with OK button so I expect settings get saved. Still, widgets is not behaving as I described above it is ignoring all items already in DB and only starts to monitor future events.

Another issue:
You leave settings to default. Recommended window properties get populated with half watched items. You then turn off recommended in settings. Recommended window properties are not cleared (as we know) so I go reboot XBMC. Now they are and everything is good. Now, if I do library scan or cut watching a movie in half, recommended properties gets populating again, regardless the fact they are now turned off in widget settings?

@pecinko mentioned what I was trying to explain on "Another issue:".

Anyways I realized it's skin issue. I open new topic for this issue on @pecinko's quartz skin forum.

But I can suggest something else. I think on skin widgets _update definition you can some conditions (if statements). Because after XBMC Library Scan skin widget is trying to update everything regardless to check if some of the settings turned off (Recommended etc.).

Example of if conditions:

PHP Code:

def _update(self, type):
    xbmc.sleep(1000)
    if type == 'movie':
        if __addon__.getSetting("recommended_enable") == 'true':
            self._fetch_movies('RecommendedMovie')
        if __addon__.getSetting("recentitems_enable") == 'true':
            self._fetch_movies('RecentMovie')
    elif type == 'episode':
        if __addon__.getSetting("recommended_enable") == 'true':
            self._fetch_tvshows_recommended('RecommendedEpisode')
        if __addon__.getSetting("recentitems_enable") == 'true':
            self._fetch_tvshows('RecentEpisode')
    elif type == 'video':
        #only on db update
        if __addon__.getSetting("recommended_enable") == 'true':
            self._fetch_movies('RecommendedMovie')
            self._fetch_tvshows_recommended('RecommendedEpisode')
        if __addon__.getSetting("recentitems_enable") == 'true':
            self._fetch_movies('RecentMovie')
            self._fetch_tvshows('RecentEpisode')
            self._fetch_musicvideos('RecentMusicVideo')
    elif type == 'music':
        if __addon__.getSetting("recommended_enable") == 'true':
            self._fetch_albums('RecommendedAlbum')
        if __addon__.getSetting("recentitems_enable") == 'true':
            self._fetch_albums('RecentAlbum')
    if self.RANDOMITEMS_UPDATE_METHOD == 1:
        if __addon__.getSetting("randomitems_enable") == 'true':
            # update random if db update is selected instead of timer
            if type == 'video':
                self._fetch_movies('RandomMovie')
                self._fetch_tvshows('RandomEpisode')
                self._fetch_musicvideos('RandomMusicVideo')
            elif type == 'music':
                self._fetch_albums('RandomAlbum')
                self._fetch_artists('RandomArtist')
                self._fetch_songs('RandomSong')
                self._fetch_addons('RandomAddon')

So am I clear to explain? What do you think about my suggestion?

[bigwillch]

Hi. I think this may have been mentioned a few times before but I haven't spotted a solution to it. On my setup (Raspberry Pi running Bello theme) The skin widget integration works perfectly except in Random Movies, where every time some of the movie posters don't display (though the background art always works). I get exactly the same thing happening in Random Movies if using the Amber skin which makes me think it isn't skin specific.

I've had a look through the log but no errors jump out at me. Would really appreciate any feedback anyone is able to give.

I've pasted a debug file here: http://pastebin.com/rGZ5nJEw

Let me know if any further info is required.

Many thanks - Will

I don't suppose anyone had a moment to look at this yet?

FOR SKINNERS ONLY

By popular demand and after the rewrite of Watchlist and RandomItems I made it a service addon that contains both.
Thx to the original authors of these scripts for the initial code and ideas.
Remove Watchlist and RandomItems script.
Once Frodo repo opens this will be added

Features
Recommended:

• Episode (first unplayed per tvshow)
  

Work well but doesn't provide first episode of new TV Show.

When you add a new TV show in your library (at least one season and one episode), this episode is not listeded, because of filter :

"filter": {"field": "inprogress", "operator": "true", "value": ""}

in JSON query (line 240 in default.py).

By removing this filter, S01E01 from new TV shows are displayed in widgets (I'm running Aeon Nox 4.1.9).

I think it could be great to add an option in "Recommended" tab in addon setting to include or not unwatched (unstarted ? fresh ? new ?) TV Shows.

[Hitcher]

It's not added because it's not 'in progress'.

[mikebzh44]

Yes, I know but as the widget display the first unseen episode from a tv show, I was expecting to see first episode of a new tv show as well. That why adding an option with "Add fresh tv show" could make sense.

And properties are named "recommended" not "in progress"
