Is there a way to add more than 3 custom menu buttons?

I made smartplaylists for anime, anime movies, movies, tv shows, documentaries, comedy shows, other stuff.

All help is appreciated.

(Kudo's to the skin creator btw)

only by modding the skin yourself.

the menu is defined in Includes_Home.xml.

to add another button, you basically need this code:

Code:

<item id="17">
    <label>ButtonLabel</label>
    <onclick>ActivateWindow(10025,&quot;special://profile/playlists/video/filenameofplaylist.xsp&quot;)</onclick>
    <icon>special://skin/backgrounds/yourbackgroundimage.jpg</icon>
</item>

Ok, thank you very much!

aaaah, have it completely set up to my taste now. All the groups I want, in the order i want. Had to look up a few things like the background folders, and adding the "return" thing to the action. But it's working perfect!

Thanks!

How would I go about adding the option to have more favourites in the Movies, TV Shows and Music Submenus?

I have more than three smart playlists to link for all of them.

I'm at work now (for at least another 8 hours), but in case noone else answered yet when i'm home, I can provide you with the answers .

more or less the same code as above, for movies & tv shows playlists:

Code:

<item id="8123">
    <label>ButtonLabel</label>
    <onclick>ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,&quot;special://profile/playlists/video/filenameofplaylist.xsp&quot;)</onclick>
</item>

put the code below the existing entries in Includes_Home.xml,
for movies that would be line 2665 and for tv shows line 2756.

for music playlists you can use:

Code:

<item id="8124">
    <label>ButtonLabel</label>
    <onclick>ActivateWindow(MusicLibrary,&quot;special://profile/playlists/music/filenameofplaylist.xsp&quot;)</onclick>
</item>

or, if you want to play the playlist directly instead of viewing it:

Code:

<item id="8124">
    <label>ButtonLabel</label>
    <onclick>PlayMedia(&quot;special://profile/playlists/music/filenameofplaylist.xsp&quot;)</onclick>
</item>

paste the code below the existing submenu entries at line 3023.

I'm writing a how-to from A to Z later today, with folder set up, smartlist creations, etc... . Shouldn't take too long and could be helpfull for many people, as I to struggled at first.
