[Lists] Using video lists as widgets (reproducible ids)?

See original GitHub issue

I would love to be able to use some of the video lists (such as “Continue watching for X”) as home screen widgets, but I’m running into problems: I can browse to a video list and select it as a widget’s content, but after Kodi is restarted, the widget will reload with just gibberish content (seemingly random items.) I haven’t looked at the code in depth, but it seems like the video_list_id parameter is generated for each video list and every session (or something)? Would it be possible to provide a way to browse to a specific video list with reproducible parameters, such as user=X&video_list=continue_watching, or is this an unfortunate limitation of the Netflix API?

I’d be willing to dig into this myself, but I wanted to check if it’s something that someone has already been thinking about.

It’s solved with the PR above, it’s not been merged yet but if you read it you’ll see it’s been tested.

While this may work, it is a pain to have to edit the files directly to fix them. Is there any reason why the plugin provides that video list id when linking from folder navigation?
