When I go into the option to set up the main menu and select background, I pick select background/single image and it takes me to my file manager. In the basic skin I was able to pick a path to choose from, which at the time was an sda card. On my build that I downloaded from a choice from the ARES builds, I see the other items have 'special://' as the first words in the "select background " choice....How do I get into my C drive or sda card to choose my images?
Also, when I am done tweaking this, what is the easiest method of putting it into a zip file and making a URL for it? Thanks for your help

Just add a New Source that points to the folder containing your images.

I have a main video library and a subset of it that only contains 3D movies.
If I create a favorites and add that favorites in the menu that works fine.

But I need to keep track of the # of 3D movies, watched 3D movies , unwatched 3D movies, and recently added 3D movies.
How do I add those as sub menu items?
It also would be nice if I can reference the 3D favorites in terms of 3D movies statistics also.

I really would appreciate if I can be pointed to a tutorial on how to do that.

Is there an option yet on Silvo with regards to playing trailers in the fanart box, like you can with Madnox and Shednox, I know I may have asked this before but got no reply, or is there a way that you can get your trailers to play when you access your movie library via the fanart box in the corner of the screen, any ideas would be great

Many thanks

Ziggy

Equally, if you're wanting to create a build in the vein of the build hosted by ARES, you're unlikely to get support here (and you're very unlikely to get support in this thread, where 'builds' are considered a naughty word precisely because of 'builds' provided by people like ARES.)

What is supported here is mods - the difference between a mod and a build is, keeping things simple, mods tend to be modifications of the source of the skin, don't violate the forums policy or the license the skin is released under, tend to (though it's not required by the license) give full credit to the original authors (just as this mod of Nox 5 gives credit to BigNoid), and are generally forked from and maintained on GitHub. Builds, on the other hand, tend to be zip files containing a slightly modified skin and a copy of various folders from the users userdata (wiki)/addon_data folder.

If you're interested in created a mod of Nox 5: Silvo, I'll be quite happy to point you in the direction of the developers docs for the Skin Shortcuts script (which is used to manage the main menu including its backgrounds, and has functions available for including default backgrounds for example.) If you're really wanting to create a build, you'll find much more support elsewhere.

Edit: Should have included this info in the first place, and my apologies that I didn't. The other thing that is also supported, which I believe many consider to be a 'build' (though it really isn't, and simply calling it so immediately limits the support that they get) is simply copying their customised menu (including backgrounds) to another of their own systems. The only supported method for doing that is detailed at Skin Shortcuts FAQ: Copying menu to another system.

(2016-06-03, 22:25)BobCratchett Wrote: In addition to the playlists solution proposed by Mike, you can also use video nodes (wiki) to split up your library. With that option, you can use the Skin Shortcuts: Add To Menu content menu add-on (see my signature) to add the node, along with the sub-nodes as submenu items, to your main menu. (With the context menu add-on installed, go to 'Videos', highlight your new node, bring up the context menu, select 'Add to menu', choose 'Main Menu' as the target, then whatever subnode you want as the default view for the main menu item. The library node editor tries to make it easy to manage your library nodes within the Kodi GUI.

When I try to install it I get the error: Failed to install a dependency. I saw earlier in the thread that installed the recordicons separate would make it work. I tried that and still get the same error.

Thanks

If you don't have enable full Colour system bar for the submenu then it vanished completely.

I'm using Jarvis, if I set it to full colour it's fine.
