First time user of XBMC so this may simply be my newb-ness but, I cant get widgets to display data about my library. For instance "Latest Movies" shows blank tiles and opening them they don't reference any data.
I pulled down the latestest commit from git(4.1.2) and rebooted, I now have an issue that I have to always reload the skin on boot (all the images dont load) and the widgets dont work.
Thanks in advance,
Clad

You should have installed from xbmc repo and not using a github version

Check System>Skin>Help it lists all the scripts there, and shows you what you have and dont have installed yet.

pffft god I feel retarded, I saw this and was like "Why cant I turn these on?!"
Suggestion: Maybe should change that screen a bit, it only says "Online Help". Possible an "Enabled Skin Service Add-ons" reference would make it easier to realize what it means. Purely speaking from a newbs point of view so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Again, you rock thanks for the help!

Actually not sure how I would install from repo, and with that I mean other than system > add-ons > skin.
I uninstalled and re-installed from above with same add-ons enabled/installed. I'm on XBMCbuntu (latest) - not sure if it matters.
