Kids section in the main menu

[JalaL]

Hi all

Anyone managed to add a new section to the main menu for other stuff like cartoons and anime series for kids ?

I saw (by googling) that some could create smart playlists with the right search critera (based on file path, or tags in the videos), and then add them to the main menu by editing confluence theme xml files but that seems to be risky.

Is there any plugin that allows that easily from the UI ?

Hi,

I finally managed using this tutorial

http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Edit_the_home_screen_skin_files

I followed the tutorial, and then instead of creating a separate source for Kids movies like this;

<sources>
<video>
<default pathversion="1"></default>
<source>
<name>Kids</name>
<path pathversion="1">smb://XBMC/Movies/Kids-Movies/</path>
</source>
</video>
<sources>

I created a smart playlist and called it Kids.xsp with "Genre=Animation", and then used it in the menu item;

<item id="19">
<label>Kids Movies</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,special://videoplaylists/Kids.xsp,return)</onclick>
<icon>-</icon>
<thumb>-</thumb>
</item>
