I have 3 major categories for videos, Movie, TV Shows & Documentary. And it's very annoying not being able to use scrapers against Documentary and have it displayed at first screen, such as Movies and TV Shows.
As Documentaries are found in both movies and TV show scrapers they get listed lite here and there and I can't find a good way to get an overview.
Would be really nice to able to have "display containers" from several scrapers, instead of (or as choice) having them locked/sorted against which kind of scraper they where found in.

In Frodo you can use filters on the main nodes. So, assuming your documentaries are flagged as such (eg use the genre "Documentary") then you could filter them out of the tvshow node (if that's what they scrape with) and add a separate node for documentaries.
At the moment, I don't think it's possible to combine from movies + tvshows, but maybe noone has tried...

Wow, this is fantastic!!! I did not find it in the September monthly, but read that I would need to do this over advanced settings. Is it possible by now to do it via the GUI and/or coming for the beta release of Frodo? This is a fantastic feature!!! Also, one related question - would the "recently added movies / episodes" add-on be able to reflect this and then only show recently added documentaries?

Nope, not available via the GUI. Hopefully the ability to add new filter nodes (and remove existing ones) will be available via the context menu, but no promises as it depends on how difficult (read: how much new code) it is to pull it off.
Alterations to the home screen is unfortunately still skin-territory, so will require skin modifications to work. The default recently added stuff on home won't use the filter nodes, so will still retrieve the old stuff.
Cheers,
Jonathan

I don't have a solution to your problem, I dand use the TV app to watch all of that.
