I’ve been trying to make this patch by texaco here works :
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=172362
![[Image: uNPDdT6.png]](http://i.imgur.com/uNPDdT6.png)
I was going to use it for my custom skin.. but i wanted to understand how it works so i tried it on confluence first…
Replaced both IncludesHomeRecentlyAdded.xml and default.py from service skin widgets (Conluence 14.2)
But all i got is blank recent episodes…

As far as i can tell.. these are the relevant changes in both files :
Code:

Is the property “RecentEpisodeGrouped” supposed to be declared first?
Thanks
