Ok found another issue!
The weather widget is not showing on the home screen.
Update!
Ok I see I had to actually add the weather widget manually never had to do that before it was just always there.
I also needed to re add the widgets for Movies and TV Shows "Recent Movies & Recent TV Episodes" too.
Is that something new or a bug?

All of the old widgets will need to be relinked. If you're installing from scratch, the defaults would appear, but if you're upgrading, I'm afraid there is no way to migrate your old widgets.

There isn't a "Get More" link in the Programs->Video section.
The "Get More" links are usually in dialogs where it's asking you to select an add-on for a specific task, e.g., weather icons, lyrics script, etc.

One thing I do notice it seems the widgets for Movies and TV Shows "Recent Movies & Recent TV Episodes" seem to display a little slower in the latest update. I also notice if you click on "Videos" for example on the home screen and then go back to home screen and highlight Movies or TV Shows where the widgets are shown you can see a blank image that says No Image Available for like a second or so and then the "Recent Movies & Recent TV Episodes" will display. Pretty sure it was always instant before this update.
Maybe it's because I did a upgrade instead of a clean install?
Also as far as the "Get More" thing I am not saying your wrong it just that I can swear there was a "Get More" icon in the same menu where all the Video Add-ons are. Was it removed from Kodi 17 or am I remembering something then never existing? lol

They are slower because I'm using the Skin Helper script to for the widgets now. I plan to implement templates to remove the need to load them every time you view them though.
In the meantime, you can still directly select the widgets to get the previous behavior. It is only the defaults that are translated through the script. This is so I don't have to keep track of which widgets are currently functional/best.
As for the Get More button, I honestly don't remember, but in any case it's not something specific to the skin anyway.

As far as I can see everything seems really good with RC2 in fact the only issue that I just noticed is with the Weather Add on display.
I am using Yahoo Weather.
Here are the issues
1. With extended forecast enabled 7 days are displayed where as with Kodi 17 default skin 10 days are displayed.
2. With the 7 day forecast display there is wasted text with no weather description on each day.
Examples Humidity, Precip, Clouds and Wind
Maybe this text should be removed since there is no weather description for them?
3. When 12 Hour Forecast is selected all you see is "NA"
4. When 36 Hour Forecast is selected all you see is "NA"
5.When Weekend Forecast is selected all you see is "NA"
6. Nothing happens when clicking on Weather Maps.
7. Nothing happens when clicking on Weather Settings.
Example When clicking on Weather Settings in Kodi 17 default skin it takes you to "Settings,Services, Weather"
Thanks and I will let you know if I see any more issues.
