Extendinging the built-in subplaylist component

Hello cool people of Xibo Community!

I’ve been assigned a task to extend a client’s custom Xibo distribution with a couple of features. Both of these features require custom XLF: the features alter the functionality of the screen in more than one iteration of the screen, needing me to either know the iteration we’re on, or extend the XLF document, so that it spans multiple iterations of the screen.

I’m planning on implementing this by extending the built in Sub-playlist widget and adding two new spotfill options.

I am having some trouble extending the built-in Sub-playlist into a custom widget. Am I correct in that I need to copy all of the code to a custom/NewWidget folder and start from there? I did get the new module installed and it shows up as widget and can be added to a screen, but it doesn’t work at all.

I’m also really new to the world of PHP and Xibo and could really use some pointers on how to debug this.

Thank you!

Here’s the specs of our system:
Xibo CMS version forked from 2.2.0
Xibo XMR is version 0.7 and it is unaltered
Xibo player is Linux version 1.8-R4, I don’t know about its customizations.
Development CMS is running in Docker, production is in AWS ECR.
