When you add widgets from a playlist, is it possible to make an option where the last poster point you to the playlist? So if my playlist contain 50 movies, I think that 15 Will show if I choose to use posters, could the last poster be such that when you click it, it takes you to the entire playlist.

found this link so i think it is ok to talk about Netflix
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=329767

it should be just pick files and add to favourites
on this it is "plugin://plugin.video.netflix/(?id=movies&mode=99)" NOT ""plugin.video.netflix/&quot"

xml:

       <param name="content_path" value="plugin://plugin.video.netflix/"/>

In order to load the widgets, the addon should get your services in the background, the skin asks the widgets to load before the service starts, I receive that "AddonSignals call" message expired "or some error message.

Skin estuary, for some reason, carries the widget very fast. If I can delay loading widgets, I'll get rid of those messages.

Thanks for everything!

you could set up a keymap to set !Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNonetflixButton) on menu
\kodi\userdata\keymaps

<keymap>

   <global>

       <keyboard>

    <f2>RunPlugin(plugin://script.simpleplaylists/?mode=addCurrentUrl)</f2>

           <F5>XBMC.ReloadSkin()</F5>

           <F7>Notification(Testing 123,Hello world)</F7>

           <F8>Skin.ToggleDebug()</F8>

       </keyboard>

   </global>

</keymap>

menu

Something I've never quite understood properly is where the all these ID values actually come from? Are they created by the skin author and listed somewhere within the skin, or are they a Kodi system requirement and listed somewhere?
Same with the all the list ID values on the home menu widget items. I have changed a few items in the past on my Home Menu to suit my own taste, but have normally done so by using an existing ID value. What I really like to know is if you wanted to add a completely new menu or widget item for instance, what ID values would you use in that scenario?

  <property name="menu_id">$NUMBER[8000]</property> this is the screen that is shown with the widgets on them it will need to be the same as any new screen you add

<onclick>ActivateWindow(1100)</onclick> is link for any file (see link  by adding iten to favourites )

 <property name="id">addons</property> this is the name of the page with the widgets

 <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoProgramsButton)</visible> setting to hide menu

code comment do not add is the number of the page any thing in this page nees to be say (20000 - 20999)
   kodi info the only bit to change is the last name custom1 would be the name of the new page
kodi no need to change
 to tel kodi what the page is it should be the same as String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),custom1
     close off the tag
this is to start the widget area of the page and need to be in the same range of (20000 - 20999)
 kodi code
 this is to move to items in the page can be left at 10 in the number range (21010 22010)
 widget code gose here
close off the tag
    kodi code
     value="20010 can be left at 10 in the number range (21010 22010)
    close off the tag
    close off the tag

a widget just copy fro the list on the has what you need

On the subject of widgets and this mod , personally I dont like to use widgets , they just slow the build down and when i think about it i rarely if ever select a movie/show from the widgets on the home screen. However Estuary with the vertical menu looks awful without widgets. So aesthetically I have to have them Smile

Is it possible to clone the movies widgets list , so that it is permanently on the home screen , so when scrolling down the menu list custom items that you have not assigned widgets to , instead of a blank right hand window , the "movies widgets " will show , the categories widget is separate so any sub menus would still be viewable at the top ?
I always remove every default menu item , like , videos, addons, etc so there would be no clash with default widgets , I wonder if i could just clone the "movies" section and copy it for each custom item whilst changing the action and the label in home.xml so that the same widgets appear for each custom item ?
