Hi guys. I'm not sure if this is the right place for user support, but then again, I'm not even sure if my situation is a bug or just a feature that I expected and isn't there.

Anyway, this is my problem:

I use in my Kodi, both in the Arctic Zephyr skin and in Mimic v4, a widget to show random pictures from a pictures folder (through samba). There are about 4,800 files in that folder. The widget shows random photos from it, which I like. The problem however is this: the 'random photos' order is never updated. Not while in a Kodi instance, but not even when I reboot. It doesn't matter which of the skins I'm in, the widget always shows the exact same 10 pictures in the same order. (Movie widgets with random order are updated every once in a while, which is why I'd expect it in the pictures widget as well.) The only time I noticed when the widget showed a different order, is when I added some files to my photos folder. Somehow the widget got recalibrated by that move. But I don't think that's a practical solution.

I hope you understand what I mean?

Is this a bug, or is it as designed (i.e. this refreshing is not a feature), or should I've changed some setting? (But which?) Help please.


edit: It's been explained to me that what I'm looking for is something that has to be done in the skin, not something to do with the script. So disregard the above.
