Weird, it worked all of a sudden, and broke again.

This is not what shortcut groups are meant for. In fact, when making shortcuts (or during a "clone"), playable items are skipped and/or not allowed to be made into shortcuts.

This is actually intended behavior, and the recommended way to do what you're trying to do is to add that path to a widget group, and then use it as a static path.

You have, however, highlighted a small bug, in that it should not include skipped items in the count that gets shown in the dialog.

plugin.program.autowidget/plugin.program.autowidget/resources/lib/add.py

Line 303 in 7245c41

"AutoWidget", utils.get_string(30104).format(len(files), group_def["label"])

Here, the len(files) should be changed to a variable that is incremented during the loop, but after the continue, likely on L296.

Thank you, I just did that and it works.
But I want to include multiple sources into one like Movies Trending This Week and TV Shows Trending This Week in a label called Trending This Week and sort them by ratings.
So I tried the merged option and selected both source but for one it says loading content but never loads it and other loads.

But before when I used the clone as shortcuts, it worked perfectly. I don't know why it stopped working suddenly, only shows next page.

Can you add an option to not to skip playable items and allow those items?
