The time load on skin startup is Important, personally I Prefer the cache option.

b.t.w, can you give me in code format what to put to limit recommendedepisodes to "5" items....

I've added some caching to the widgets. Also fixed the limit argument.
Please test if this works for you

Works like a charm.
Didn't check yet the update of the list, but the limit and the cache is working.


I need to consult/verify some things with you, I'm about the build my whole widgets again.
right now I have 10-15 seperates lists with the same Id (9002) and each of them contain a visible condition like:

Code:

<visible>StringCompare(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(Widget),RecommendedEpisodes)</visible>

Code:

<visible>StringCompare(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(Widget),RecentAlbums)

The widget name Is taken from the overrides.xml file: http://pastebin.com/s7tfrpwi - If you take a look, you can notice that your new helpers and widget picker can replace them all (I think...)
So I don't really need them. [b.t.w you disabled the "default" widget label, previously in the widget picker was a "Default" label next to the default widget, if you can add it back would be great.]

SO,If i'm understanding your new helper right, the:

Code:

<content>$INFO[Container(9000).ListItem.Property(widgetPath)]</content>

should be universal, and It means that I can actually use one list with ID 9002...still trying to figure it out how should I build it.

I need all the functions I already have, but to minimize the code and make it more efficient
I Have all the 9 widgets of: recent/random/recommended * episodes/movies/albums and the video\programs\image addons, pvr and custom playlist
can you throw few tips about how to achive it?

Last thing, you wrote in the readme in few lines:

Code:

Note 2: If you want to use these commands in the skinshortcuts overrides.xml you have to replace & with &

Replace & with & ? typo ? you must mean to &
MANY THANKS
