Thanks for your input. I am actually using the following add-on versions.

script.skin.helper.service - 1.1.3
script.skin.helper.widgets - 1.0.22
script.module.metadatautils - 1.0.0
script.module.thetvdb - (The TVDB API) 1.0.12)
script.tv.show.next.aired (Kodi Repo version) I just change the version to 7.0.1 so I don't get the update notification.

Anyway, I have it working correctly on Aeon MQ7 (Latt's Mod), as well as Aeon MQ8 (2.9.0), at least I think it is working now. What I did today was to change the following line in episodes.py line #167 which is located in: kodi\addons\script.skin.helper.widgets\resources\lib

python:
def nextaired(self, days_ahead=60):

to

python:
def nextaired(self, days_ahead=1):

then I selected "Episodes Aired Today", then rebooted. This seemed to have done the trick, but I am still testing it. I was just busy with other things today. Let me test it tomorrow morning and I will get back to you on it. I am assuming the (1) I used on that line of code is only going to display the episodes for today and not the "60" days Marcel has it set for.

If it does in fact do the trick, I can post all of my files for you.

Also, I did try removing the & but it did nothing.

Easy way is to set code for plugin SHSW in variables, If you want to see episode airingtoday...no need to change episode.py.
This code will show you only airingtoday episodes.

Code:

plugin://script.skin.helper.widgets/?action=airingtoday&mediatype=episodes&reload=$INFO[Window(home).Property(widgetreload2)]

Mine SHS and script module are different from yours.
Your almost all from oficial repo (to old and didn't set to work with Leia version).
That script and module use removed infobools (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid......install Marcel repo and update all script and module.
script.skin.helper.service - 1.1.24
script.skin.helper.widgets - 1.0.38
script.module.metadatautils - 1.0.19
script.module.thetvdb - 1.0.27
script.tv.show.next.aired - 7.0.1
script.module.simplecache - 1.0.16   

Hi @Angelinas ,
I have updated all of the scripts and modules as per above. I still have no luck with the Next Episode widget within MQ8 functioning as per the script:
Next Episodes
plugin://script.skin.helper.widgets/?action=next&mediatype=episodes&reload=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(widgetreload)]
Provides a list of the nextup episodes. Searches for next episode after the last played, otherwise returns the first unwatched episode. Note: the reload parameter is needed to auto refresh the widget when the content has changed.

When i run the command directly via the widget addon Skin Helper Service Widgets V1.0.38 it's fine. I do this by:
I open the addon, select Episodes>Next episodes
It returns me a list of the next unwatched episodes of shows last watched with the most recently watched show first in the list (LAZYTV addon also does this fine).
I do note: when I press left and look into the "Collection/Change View" section i can see "Sort By" is set to Default (greyed out).

Using MQ8's Next Episode widget i can't get the same correct behaviour. I select Sort by "Last Played" as that seems appropriate and i get a seemingly random order. Even when after watching an episode that was in this widgets list, the next episode replaces it in the list but doesn't change its position in the list, it stays somewhere in the middle of the list for example.

Can you verify behaviour on your end? May be because this widget within the skin doesn't have the sort option "Default" or the "Last Played" sort option isn't functioning correctly. Or i have no clue what i'm doing (most likely   ).
