I would like to report a regression.
When one of the Menu Items is a playlist, the widget doesn't respect the sort order of the playlist and displays the items in random order.
In previous versions, it was displayed in correct order.
Thank you for your efforts!
@StrangeQuark , thanks for reporting this. I have just fixed it. Please test the latest from GitHub and let me know if it is indeed fixed. Thanks.

Hi Bart,
I didn't expect such a fast fix!
Unfortunately, there are still some issues with playlists:
* The widget works well with movies, but not with TV Shows:
* My MenuItem is selected to playlist of TV Shows with configuration "Episodes"
* If widget format is a poster - The show name is shown, but clicking on it does nothing
* If widget format is a thumbnail - It shows an empty square with a name that concatenates show name + last episode number (or something like that)
* I expect for TV Shows:
* If MenuItem is selected as "Episodes", it should show a list of episodes
* I think it would be nice to have some configuration for the Widgets, for example: Don't show watched items
* Additional nonrelated issue: RandomArt background doesn't work
Thank you for your hard work!
@
StrangeQuark , in regards to the other issues besides the playlist order (I answered about that one in my previous post):
1. Xonfluence will now ask you when you assign a video playlist to a menu item if the playlist is a Movie, TV Show, Episode or Music Video (Concert) playlist. I have to ask, since in Matrix I cannot determine automatically the type of playlist content (in previous versions Xonfluence used an addon for playlists, that addon is not available in Matrix).
This refers to the content of the playlist, and Xonfluence will display items of that type. Thus, if the playlist is a tv show playlist, Xonfluence will show tv show items, not episode items in the widget. If you set the incorrect type, what will happen is that most likely the display of the widget information will not be what you expect.
So, the selection dialog looks like this now:
In the example in these screenshots, I set up my "In Progress TV Shows" playlist as menu item 13, with Thumbnail as the format, and random fanart (my apologies for the screenshot shows Live background as the background when it is really Radom FanArt) as the background:
The result is this:
The widget is in playlist order (ensure Group By is default and not none in the playlist editor for the playlist), and now when you select Thumbnail for a TV show widget, Xonfluence shows the tvshow landscape as the artwork, or the tv show fanart if the landscape is not available. Episode widgets continue to work as before, showing the episode thumb as the artwork.
For episode widgets, if you select Poster as the format, the season poster is shown if available; if not, the tv show poster is shown.
The background for this widget is random tv shows fanart, as it is a tv shows widget. If it were a movie widget it would show random movie fanart, and for episode widgets it shows random tv shows fanart.
For the random fanart feature to work, you need script.grab.fanart installed and enabled in your system. My understanding is that the script is in the Kodi Matrix repo.
When you click on an item of the widget in the example above, since it is a tv show widget, Xonfluence will open that tv show. If it were a movie, episode or music video widget, Xonfluence would play the item directly.
Please download the latest from GitHub, test, and let me know how it goes. Thanks.
Regards,
Bart
