All of sudden the Random Albums thumbnails are no longer showing on the OSMC home page. It can display random movies, random TV Shows thumbnails, IPTV radio & TV thumbnails but not for TV.

Here’s my log:

Have you customized your home screen via skin settings?

4

No I haven’t. I only switched skins when I was testing the IPTV PVR client

Edit

I only chaned the skin colour from the default light blue to black

5

Can you check under skin settings/addons whether skinshortcuts script is installed and enabled?

6

Yes it’s installed. it’s v1.1.5

I was able get the Random Albums back by customizing the main menu > Music > Manage Widgets > Select Widget > Music > Pre-configured widgets > Albums > Random Albums. I selected Random Albums and kept the title as Random Albums and I was done.

Now I got the Random Albums displaying again :sunglasses:

That’s exactly why I asked… Perfect that you got it sorted :+1:t2:

I can’t get to a “Manage Widgets” option in any of the places where “Music” is an option. How do you get to this step?

So I was able to customize the main menu after searching several other threads. I also had to change the settings level from Advanced to Standard. It’s strange how certain options appear only at certain settings level, and not always intuitively.
