How to make menu item to show all playlist?
#1
How can I make a menu item to show all playlist with the "Series" folder and "Movies" folder like here: http://i.imm.io/12Lk5.jpeg (with display of "Series" and "Movie" folders)

I do not know which "Type" to choose: http://i.imm.io/12LjN.jpeg

To make a menu item show all Smart PlayLists

1) From Main Menu choose Videos (not playlist from submenu)
2) If you're in some branch of Videos, such as Movies or Playlists, you'll need to press backspace to see "Playlists"
3) Highlight "Playlists"
4) Press "C" for context menu
5) Choose "Add to favourites"
6) Settings -> Skin -> Customizers -> Main menu items
7) Highlight the desired main menu or submenu item and press Enter
8) Choose Type = Favouite
9) Select "Playlists"
10) Change label to what you prefer

In step 3 I found it odd that it is simply listed as "Playlists", which is a rather generic name, rather then "Smart Playlist". Since there are others like "SimplePlayList" I was expecting a more precise name in order to differentiate.

Hope this helps.

EDIT:
BTW, You know that the playlists option is in fact a default submenu of Videos?

Many thanks CaptainKen,

For the very good instruction, works perfectly, I see you have to go a detour to "Favorites" first and then connect "Playlists" instead of somehow doing it directly in "Edit Main Menu".

But I assume, showing the different playlists (like I am able to do now) and the two folders "Series" and "Movies" together will not be possible.

Yes, so, these "Playlists" are "Smart Playlists" indeed I guess. Actually I do not really know the difference.

Yes, but I couldn't find this item ("Playlists") here or somewhere else to set is as a main menu item: http://i.imm.io/12O9S.jpeg
And I wanted the playlists plus the "Series" and "Movies" folers displayed together with these playlists.

Many thanks again.
