How can I change skin to always show time

Need some help changing Unwatched Movies on Home Screen, based on current date

Hi all,

I've recently been making some small changes to the default Estuary skin to suit my library, and have been able to change the couple of things I wanted changed (mostly changing the amount of movies displayed on the Recently Added and Unwatched Movies areas, to display 25 movies each), and to eliminate (through the smart playlists) certain things from showing up in either list (namely short films and Christmas movies).

In any case, what I'm trying to accomplish now is to change the Unwatched Movies area to display a different set of movies (by changing the source to different, already-created smart playlists), based on the current date. Specifically, I'm hoping to display holiday specific movies there during certain times of the year. I already have the genres "Christmas" and "Halloween" added to the appropriate movies in my library, and smart playlists that will pull random titles from each genre. I figure the following section from the home.xml file is what I need to change:

Code:
                        <include content="WidgetListPoster" condition="Library.HasContent(movies)">
                            <param name="content_path" value="special://skin/playlists/unwatched_movies.xsp"/>
                            <param name="widget_header" value="$LOCALIZE[31007]"/>
                            <param name="widget_target" value="videos"/>
                            <param name="list_id" value="5300"/>
                        </include>

Basically, I'm looking to add a couple of conditions, and display the appropriate movies, based on the current date. So I think I need to somehow define the System.Date(MM-DD,MM-DD) condition. For example, if condition System.Date(11-27,12-25) is true, then I would want the following content_path parameter to point to "special://skin/playlists/random_christmas_movies.xsp". I would also like to do the same for Halloween (with dates of say, 10-01,10-31, and a playlist named random_halloween_movies.xsp).

After much searching, I just can't find out if this is possible to do or not, and if it is possible, how to accomplish this correctly. Can I define multiple conditions in the include statement, and, if so, would I just replicate this section of code 3 times, and just change the condition and the path for each, or is there a way to define a condition for a parameter? Thanks in advance, for any help anyone can provide.

Sorry if this isn't posted in the correct section. I am using the Estuary skin (a modified copy I've been changing myself), but wasn't sure if this was a skin-specific question, or if this applies to all skins. I just know it's Estuary's home skin that I'm trying to change, so if this isn't the correct location, could a mod please move it to the correct forum? Thank you.

My own repository…not working

Hi guys,

I have developed the Light IMDb Ratings Update add-on and as a further step it would be nice to provide it to the community through a my repository.

At the moment, I have created this repository on GitHub where inside the folder named repo is possible to find the requested files addons.xml, addons.xml.md5 and the two add-ons Light IMDb Ratings Update and axlt2002.repository in the zip format under the respective folders.

Using the latest Kodi 18 alpha, the issue is that when I enter the axlt2002.repository, it results empty:

[Image: Ei2DYmM.png]

while on Kodi 17.3 i receive the message "Could not connect to the repository".

I'm quite puzzled... Frown

Hereafter I report you the content of the maim files; so if you can check them or try them it would be really beneficial for me. Being honest, to me it seems that everything is correct...
