What I want is a Random Albums widget that refreshes on a regular basis.  On some skins this works on others it does not

For reference I am on K19 using the old Horizon skin which has been ported over to Matrix and works really well.

I have tried creating a random album playlist but the problem is that it is static (once created never changes).  I have tried using autowidgets but that just threw out errors.

So a simply question, with either a simple or very complicated answer.  How do I create a widget that contains random albums that refreshes ever time I boot up kodi

My Aeon MQ5 skin mod uses a couple of "official" addons, service.skin.widgets and script.randomandlastitems, that I have unofficially updated for python3/Matrix.  Skin widgets uses the music library as source and randomandlastitems uses a nominated playlist (in the skin, playlist that is set as main menu item).

Alternative that I don't use is to use dynamic content in the widget panel container definition and supply a smart playlist as part of the skin.  Not sure offhand about the random aspect of that.  Probably better to ask in the skin dev forum.
