Hello.

I have tried to search, but couldn't find an answer to my question.

As I have a lot of TV recordings I have made myself I want to store them in its own menu, but I don't know if it is possible.

What I want is an extra folder at the main menu called TV recordings. It just has to work like the normal "movies" folder but only contain the files from my TV recordings folder, so they dont get messed up with my real movies.

Hope someone can help Smile
Try using some of the additional skins. I'm using Confluence and it has TV, Movies, and Video.

Thanks. Right now im using aeon skin, which is very nice Wink And there I also have TV shows (for LOST, Heroes, Friends and all my other shows), Movies (for my real movies and Videos.

But I don't think my different own recordings (danish TV shows, reality programs, documentaries, news, sport etc) fit in any of those categories!?

Maybe it could work if I cold make a category under TV shows called "eurosport", "CNN" etc and then place the recordings inside there. But i dont know how to do that manually Sad
You can create "shortcuts" to specific paths using activatewindow().

You would do something like this:

<onclick>activatewindow(videofiles,smb://server/full/path/to/recordings)</onclick>
