in the main (home?) movie screen there there are rows for “in progress movies”, “recently added movies”, “unwatched movies”, etc… the code for these “widgets” can be found in the home.xml file, for example, as follows:
————–
<include content=”WidgetListPoster” condition=”Library.HasContent(movies)”>
<param name=”content_path” value=”special://skin/playlists/inprogress_movies.xsp“/>
<param name=”widget_header” value=”$LOCALIZE[31010]”/>
<param name=”widget_target” value=”videos”/>
<param name=”list_id” value=”5100″/>
</include>
<include content=”WidgetListPoster” condition=”Library.HasContent(movies)”>
<param name=”content_path” value=”special://skin/playlists/recent_unwatched_movies.xsp“/>
<param name=”widget_header” value=”$LOCALIZE[20386]”/>
<param name=”widget_target” value=”videos”/>
<param name=”list_id” value=”5200″/>
</include>

is there an easy way to change the contents of a widget to something else, say “family” or “sci-fi”, by replacing the blue text shown above to a different value? i played around with several different “values” but couldn’t get anything to work…
also, some of the widget values refer to xsp files (example: recent_unwatched_movies.xsp) which, in turn, contain code pertaining to the widget’s content count… for example, each widget row contains 15 movie posters which can be scrolled horizontally while the xsp file shows 15 as the “limit” (blue text below)… however changing this “limit” number doesn’t seem to have any effect on on the number of movie posters available in a row… is there another file where this can be set?

<smartplaylist type=”movies”>
<name>In-progress movies</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field=”inprogress” operator=”true” />
<limit>15</limit>
<order direction=”descending”>lastplayed</order>
</smartplaylist>

ultimately i would like widget rows that contain scrollable genre categories (comedy, family, sci-fi, etc.) rather than the current (stock) widget categories (in progress movies, unwatched movies, random movies) which i don’t find very useful for movies, and i would like to increase the poster count from 15 to say 30-50 for each of these categories… is this possible? thanks!
