AutoWidget Labels

drinfernoo edited this page Jul 13, 2021 · 1 revision

If you wish to have an AutoWidget set up in your skin, for which the widget label changes to reflect which path is currently being displayed, you can use the following InfoLabel as the label for your widget:

$INFO[Container(xxxxx).ListItem.Property(autoLabel)]

Where xxxxx needs to be replaced with the Container ID of the widget you want to change the label for. AutoWidget provides a simple shortcut to which can help to find this ID. It can be found either in AutoWidget's settings at "Tools -> Toggle Skin Debugging", or inside AutoWidget's menu, also at "Tools -> Toggle Skin Debugging". This will enable a basic text overlay in Kodi that will indicate the currently focused container's ID.

I have also created an easy reference chart for many common skins' Known Container IDs, and a video on How to Use AutoWidget Labels.
