1) is there a way to show a real "in progress tv shows" hub widget , as i used to do with eminence in isengard? I mean, if for example i'm looking at E.R. 2x01 and i stop it, i'd like to resume it with a click on the widget. Or, if i just have finished that episode, i want to be able to go to 2x02 through the hub widget.
2) i'm getting a lot of delay when showing videos duration in HH:MM, and it's mostly annoying when it happens in the home. Is there a way to cache it or to disable it? By the way, what do those circlet icons at the bottom right of the widget tile mean?
Thanks
1. The Hub widget capabilities are exactly the same as for the Home menu, so when selecting a Hub widget or individual Hub item widgets, you should be presented with identical choices as for the home widgets. Among those there's a widget, I believe it's called "Recommended episodes" (could be wrong) that does exactly what you're looking for. If I am wrong, one of the other Library widgets in the Episode category is definitely the one. The circles at the bottom of the widget represent the watched/unwatched/resume status of the focused item. There's a setting that switches them off, and also colour settings to customize the indicators a bit.
2. If you're experiencing delay, then you're probably using Skin Helper to convert the durations, which is the fall-back system the skin uses. The Skin Helper should automatically cache the values, precisely in order to improve the speed of retrieval, but for many users it simply doesn't do much. You can increase performance greatly by installing the "script.duration_axbmcuser". It has a buggy repo, so you can't install it automatically, but you can find the link for it in the add-on list in the OP. Once installed and Kodi is restarted, everything should automatically switch to using the add-on, so no additional tinkering is required. If that still doesn't help the performance, there's a setting in the skin that completely disables the HH:MM duration.
