    Hi all,
    is there a way to let only shows that actually have content inside to appear in the frontend widgets?
    Thank you

    thank you ;)
    I add another detail: it would be great the possibility to selectively exclude or include repeating shows.
    I mean: sometimes shows in calendar aren't exactly "radio shows", but, for example, music fillers between two "real" shows, which maybe doesn't make sense to include in a frontend calendar.

    Maybe this imply the possibility to assign "categories" or "labels" to the shows, and then the widget would call only some specific categories...

    What do you think?

    I have modified airtime to extent the fields exported to the widgets to include GENRE field and a few more.
    If you set the widget to to ignore show genre of 'filler' - that would do it.

    Here you can see the genre field being used to show icons for the type of show used - have a look?

    I just over fill shows with music to fix this at the moment.

    Yes, that could be a solution, but... how exactly do I set the widget to ignore a specific "genre"?

    You would need to change 2 files in airtime to export the genre and do some coding in javascript to display what you want properly on the main page. If you cannot code it would be difficult.
