I have tryed to open a link from favourites.xml (kodi favourites) and the files contain this:

Code:

<favourite name="Cinemassacre" thumb="https://yt3.ggpht.com/-1R7HFhVqgUE/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/InI3d_ZtFOo/s240-c-k-no-mo/photo.jpg">ActivateWindow(10025,&quot;plugin://plugin.video.youtube/user/JamesNintendoNerd/&quot;,return)</favourite>

It's releted to a little bug ??

That was a bug in Kodi but it was fixed months ago in the mainline.

I'll see if I can find the trac reference then you can let my friend Sam know

Edit
Trac- http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/16377

When using pbs kids addon for example one the show starts playing, I'm guessing the standard context menu won't show up anyway.
Thanks for trying.

It seems to me that the benefits of which context menu appears first - i.e. your vs. the standard - vary depending on the context. The fact that there are cases where you cannot add a menu item to invoke your context menu to the bottom of the standard context menu, such as for movies/shows listed by Exodus/SALTS, and that you added a white list for people who choose to make your context menu first (or as you call it global) only proves this point. I had thought of proposing you rename the "white list" (of exceptions) to the more appropriate sounding "black list" and offer the choice of having either such a black list (of sole exceptions) or a white list of sole inclusions, but considering how complicated it already is, and more complicated this would make things, might it not be easier, assuming it's possible, to simply offer an alternative hot key for invoking your super favourites context menu, instead letting the 'C' key simply invoke the standard unmodified (by you) context menu?! That way, users have the choice of bringing up whichever context menu they want, depending on the context, without the inefficiencies of ever having to navigate through one context menu in order to get to the next?! You could offer the same sorts of choices for this key that you already offer for your "Quickstart hotkey" (i.e. programmable or a few safe predefined choices - perhaps something nearby the 'C' key, such as the "F" key - for "Favourites"!)

Doesn't this sound much more efficient?

I guess the downside from a usability perspective is that it would then preclude access to your context menu via the mouse - a significant consideration. So just an option then? Doesn't exactly eliminate the complications I mentioned then, does it? Bummer...

Let me know what you think...

I'll have a think, but just in case you didn't realize (which it sounds like you didn't) if the SF menu is showing, you can simply hit the menu button again to switch to the standard menu, ,so no inefficient navigating

Have you tried downloading a YouTube video for example.
If I disable super favourites, I get no context menu in youtube anyway, so maybe it won't work.
Like you were saying, if you don't get a standard context menu come up it won't work.

Hey cool - no I didn't know that!

But I guess it only works for your global context menu. Is there anyway to make it work for the standard context menu? That would eliminate at least one reason for needing to turn on your global context menu in the first place, namely to retain access to it from dynamic Exodus/SALTS style movies/shows lists to which you are unable to add the menu item for invoking your context menu.

Let me know. Would be great, if so!

If you can in fact do this, an added major bonus would be that you could then have pressing the context menu key a second time not only switch from the first context menu to the second, but simultaneously actually toggle the future invocation order of the two so that the second one becomes the first and the first becomes the second from then on (until you press the key twice again to switch the order back)! That way, you can always have your context menu of choice be only one key press away for whatever working mode you are currently in that requires constant access to it!

You could then use this same methodology when the user is navigating through their super favourites themselves, so that they can not only switch between the first SF context menu and the second, but toggle their order as well. They could, for example, then have the edit super favourite context menu come up first every time if they're doing a lot of editing of their super favourites, then switch the order back when they're done!

Again, let me know what you think...

I like the idea!

However, team Kodi are completely overhauling the context menu stuff for Krypton (including removing the ability for addons to prevent other addons adding to their menus), so I'm going to wait and see how things develop with that first.

I am however working on something very exciting at the moment

(2016-04-22, 00:15)tvguru Wrote: Hi everyone...

My wife and I have been Kodi warriors last few months and have spent much time setting up our own skin settings (some call a build I guess) with all kinds of categories such as a section for our kids, sports for me, TV shows for her, etc... using links from addons (not addons).

We cherry pick links from certain addons and send them to a indexed Super Favorite folder. We have been doing this for the last few months. However, with the latest situation regarding devs taking down their addons... we are finding many links not working.

So my question is this... without clicking on every link to see what the addon is in order to remove if not working.... is there an addon or way that we can manage and see what addons are connected to our links in our Super Favorites?. We like to keep are Kodi clean and operational for our kids and 89 year old grandmother.

Example: I have many links in my sports category from many different addons like *****, ******, **** etc... Like Sky Sports 1 -5. So now that ****** sports has taken down their addon, and without clicking on every link to find ******** sports links in order to remove without having to click to see if they work...

Is there a way to search out all the links that are directly connected to my sports Super Favorites folder??

Hope I have made some sort of sense here.

Thank you in advance.
