Hi
I, like so many others likes to split my tv shows into documentaries and regular shows and have a special Kids section with cartoons etc.
Few searches revealed that the two most common methods in Amber are to create either a video node or a smart playlist, favourite it and add a custom entry to the home screen.
Fairly straightforward but there is one caveat for me, I REALLY like the recent and recommended shelves I get when "hovering" over the Movies and TvShows home menu items. This is to the point I would really like to get them as well for my custom Documentaries for instance but filtered to that playlist/vidnode?
So basically. Can this be done in Amber currently somehow? If not, is this even possible within kodi, i.e. does the kodi api allow you to ask for a list of recent shows filtered to a playlist or is this the point where I really need plex and plexbmc?
