I´m fairly new to Xbmc and Aeon.
First of all, I´d like to sa y thank you to developers for their hard work and an amazing result.

My problem is, I can´t figure out how to add new catagories to the main menu.
I´d like to add one for my moutain bike movies and another just for comedy videos. This is apart from the main "Movies" catagory.

It seems like a basic thing to do but as far as I can make out its impossible to do. The "New" catagory in menu editing is severley limited and useless to me.

I´d appreciate any help offered.

I'm interested to know how to do this as well, so I can split out normal films from my kids films (Disney, etc).

You have to create a smartplaylist with a fitting condition for your movies...
in this case, I would suggest to set all mtb movies to the genre sport...
then you go in settings->main menu-> add new item and add your video playlist...
in the mq2 forum is a little how to---> How To add menu items

Perfect, thanks mad_max

[sunnrider]

Thanks, that worked pefectly for me too. I now have both MTB and Comedy categories on the main menu each with a custom background image and all the relevant videos.

Is there any way I can change the view in these new categories from basic text list view to showcase view like in the main Movies category?

[mad-max]

Yes you can...just open the panel on the left hand side and choose (de)acitvate views...then select your view, activate it and choose it as current view...

cheers,

Is there a way to make a main menu of certain video add-ons? Trying to group them out some and assign them like on a playlist, but playlists don't seem to be able to select video add-ons

[mad-max]

You can add them to your favorites and add favorites to main menu

How do you add something to your favourites?

Thanks

[wjonesy]

I found out how to add to favourites. In my case I wanted to add a Video Add-on to my favourites, just like Invincer.

I enabled Video main menu item. Video>Video Addons>Right click the add on>Select 'Add To Favourites@
