Question about "Randomise" setting in SkinVariables #53

Open Mahava opened 2 weeks ago

Mahava commented 2 weeks ago

Hi Jurialmunkey,

I added folder paths to skinvariables one at a time then set it to 'randomise=true', then used it as a widget but only the folder paths that have a name without spaces or special characters will randomise. Skinvariables ignores everything else. That is, it randomised the folder paths names "War" and "History" but ignored the one named "Visually Stunning"....without quotes.

I'm trying to mimic the action of autowidgets where it takes a set of paths and cycles through them one at a time and displays as a widget. ...and it seems to work, except that it ignores any folder that has spaces.

The other thing is that the folder paths have to be added one at a time. I don't think it will work if I add a node from TMDB Helper, and I can't change the timing of the refresh.

I did some more testing with another folder with spaces in name and it did work. Maybe it was ignoring the other folder because of api restrictions

will delete

@Mahava can you explain a little more on how you got it working? I can't seem to get it working.
