I am unable to utilize the Manage Submenu function because the Skin Shortcuts control seems to be missing.
It's the one that has options for TYPE/ADD/DELETE/MOVE UP/MOVE DOWN, etc.
Instead, I get a screen that says CHOOSE ITEM FOR MENU with options that include COMMON/VIDEO LIBRARY/MUSIC LIBRARY, etc.
I downloaded from three different sources and all are the same, even after completely deleting kodi and starting anew.
I went so far as to replace the script in userdata/addon_data/script.skinshourtcuts - to no avail.
Please let me know if you can help. Thank you so much.

Updating my old setup with Krypton Nightly and the Git version of Aeon Nox Silvo. My question is in regards to adding skin shortcuts from an addon sub menu to either the main or sub menu of the skin.

When adding a location through "Choose item for menu" or "Change action" the command ends up looking like this:

ActivateWindow(Videos,"plugin://plugin.video.#####/?action=#####",return)

The problem with this is when exiting out of this section it will require multiple presses of the back key to move back up through the hierarchy of the addon . I've seen examples of setups where this has been overcome and the command looks something like this:

ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,"plugin://plugin.video.#####/?action=#####&url=#####",return)

I see from the windows IDs wiki that the VideoLibrary ID has been removed in Krypton. I've tried using favorites as well as super favorites (Please come back Spoyser your also a master of this Kodi universe) Can anyone tell me how to create a shortcut from an addon sub menu that acts as a hard link so that a press of the back button exits straight back to the home menu? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I find it that I spend a lot of time tweaking the skin, and once I settle, I go a couple of versions/years of Kodi before I bite the bullet and do it all over again. The I can concentrate of spending time on the media center...

I really appreciate your efforts!

Thanks,

In Wall View and Shift View, I want to disable fanart display on the background. I want a single image to be used as the backdrop. I can set this withe the Background option. But when I go to Shift view, and I enable Info w/ fanart, I get plain background displayed in the fanart portion.

I simply want to hard-code the image in lieu of the fanart for the background only.

Which xml file renders the fanart background for these views. I already tried MyVideoNav.xml, and View_503_Wall without any succes.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Just wondering if this is a design choice or if it would be possible to optionally have it with right side alignment for consistency when scrolling through the menu. So sorry if i'm missing a setting that's there but i took a solid look. Thanks for your amazing skin!

Just downloaded version 6.0.2 and noticed that music video doesn't have the option to display cases. I am not sure if it has in the past or not.

edit:
In showcase view, the plot scrolls behind the default cases, it works fine with clear cases.

The command is correctly formatted to do what you want - the ',return' element tells Kodi that if you press 'Back' from that level it should take you back to the home screen (accepting, of course, that if you navigate deeper within the plugin pressing back will take you 'up' a level until you reach the level you entered at). As you've not mentioned which plugin you're using I can't test to see if it has any particular issues so if this doesn't work with that plugin I would suggest posting in the thread for that script.

Not sure what you are asking about, pics would help. The backgrounds are in the CommonBackground include in Includes_Backgrounds.xml
