Need some help with displaying favourites - Mikewave - 2016-05-24

I'm trying to find a way to display the favourites on the main menu of my skin but can't seem to figure out how to do so! Any help will be great. This is what i have tried and no go!

Code:
<content target="video">script.favourites</content>

Nevermind i got it

<content>favourites://</content>

iirc clicking on items from that path doesn't work. You can use extended info script for that with
Code:
<content>plugin://script.extendedinfo?info=favourites</content>

I have no issues with "favourites://". Videos, addons, or library sub directories are working well.

Doesn't work on my end. Player tries to open it:

Ah my fault. I forgot that I only use the dynamic content list method for displaying the items. As soon I access it it's going to open the favourites dialog.

Yeah it doesn't work when i click on it. Any ideas how i can get this to work?

As BigNoid said -> use ExtendedInfo script

Also possible with the skin helper script by using:
Code:
plugin://script.skin.helper.service/?action=favourites&amp;limit=[LIMIT]&amp;reload=$INFO[Window(Home).Property(widgetreload2)]
