Video playlists widgets "target" tag is empty about script.skinshortcuts HOT 6 CLOSED

I can't reproduce this. Setting a widget to both a custom playlist and a skin-provided playlist sets the widget and widgetTarget properties as expected.

from script.skinshortcuts.

Turns out that the widgetTarget property it's empty only for playlists defined in overrides.xml. I have a separate node in my overrides.xml file in where i have included the default playlists (<content>playlist-video</content>) plus some extra provided by the skin. This is how my playlist node looks with one of the extra playlists and the defaults ones :

<node label="136">
  <node label="32004">
    <shortcut label="31245" type="32004" widget="::PLAYLIST::" icon="DefaultVideoPlaylists.png" widgetType="tvshows" condition="Library.HasContent(tvshows)">special://skin/extras/playlists/KidsTVShows.xsp</shortcut>
    <content>playlist-video</content>
  </node>
  <node label="32005">
    <content>playlist-audio</content>
  </node>
</node>

For every playlist that is defined like this here (eg "KidsTVShows.xsp") the widgetTarget property it's empty. Those that are provided by the <content>playlist-video</content> the widgetTarget property is set fine.

That's because you need to define widgetTarget in these cases - see wip docs here https://github.com/Ignoble61/script.skinshortcuts/blob/documentation/resources/docs/advanced/Custom%20groupings.md for details of the <shortcut /> element.

(And it looks like the widget property is getting set to the widget element in your <shortcut /> element - which is intended but I actually thought was broken....)

Aha... didn't know that. So far all my other widgets are playable items or the onclick action is handled by the skin or by a script.

Yea it works fine. By the way can you think of any reason why i have set the widget property like that (::PLAYLIST::) and not like as simple string (Playlist) ?.... lol i know that is stupid to ask YOU about that but i am afraid that if i did that for reason and is not some c/p thing will cause other problems.

It shouldn't cause any issues as far as I can tell. I'm not in a position to be able to double-check in the code, but I think the widget attribute is literally only set as the widget property - nothing should change in how that shortcut is processed no matter what the widget attribute is set to.

Ok, thanks a lot for the info.
