Really annoying indeed Can someone please help on this matter Thanks

Even after playing media still seeing same widgets on homescreen that defeats the whole purpose of having widgets if they are not going to auto update

When script.skinshortcuts v1.0.8 hits the repo (hopefully will be submitted in the next few days) and your system has updated to it, recreate any widgets provided by addons - that version of the script adds a reload property to all such widgets which will cause them to reload after media playback ends. The reload property is ultimately set by the Skin Helper Service, so will require that addon to be installed for the reload parameter to have any effect, and this change will only affect widgets which are set to addon nodes and only when they are recreated.

(Note that most of the widgets selectable by default - most notably those provided by Skin Helper and Library Data Provider - already have a reload parameter. This is for addons that you have browsed and selected a node to use as a widget)

I have installed 1.0.8 git version actually wrote this post about static widgets after trying on1.0.8 version but nothing changed widgets still static

1. You don't have the skin helper script installed
   
2. The widget isn't provided by a plugin node (or is provided by the extended info script, which breaks if a reload parameter is added to it)
   
3. The script isn't adding the property correctly
   
4. You are using an older version of 1.0.8 (the version number hasn't been bumped on git since we started updating the script two month ago), or you haven't installed it correct (it can happen that Kodi gets confused about what version it has installed if the zip is downloaded from git and then installed by 'Install from zip file').

It works for me by movies but not for episodes.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
