[tmaru]

To be honest I'm not KODI android user, just used it to test since it has been reported by tmaru in my thread but it seems that something is causing integration to fail somehow on android devices. On all my windows machines, eveything was always 100% fine.

strange... Are you able to browse any addons in skinshortcuts ?

Also, as a test you might want to try to open the widget endpoint directly as a shortcut:

ActivateWindow(Video,plugin://script.skin.helper.service?action=widgets)

and

ActivateWindow(Video,plugin://script.skin.helper.service?action=backgrounds)

Trying a shortcut to the widget endpoint yields me about 35 list items titled "smartshortcut" selecting any yields nothing.. They appear as playable items as the context menu contains play from here and mark as watched..
