I will be out until next week, but I can try to help you next week over PM, to avoid hijacking this thread... because this logic has nothing to do with a skin.
I just wanted to show you here that this skin supports all variety of scenarios you would like to achive, so in short:
OK... there are two (actually 3) kinds of playlists... basic (thats one you are refering), but it is surelly in extinction and the only real future is a smartplaylist.
See here http://kodi.wiki/view/Playlists... here you will find also smartplaylist description and usage.
I am also refering to set a smartplaylist as a background on the menu where you create home items (kodi settings -> skin settings, "home" on the left and "customise home menu" on the right), there you will find also "background".
Then I have created few smartplaylists for background usage (beside others for views).
One for movies, one for cartoon movies, one for tv series... etc.
My movies are in movies folder, cartoons in cartoons, series in series etc...
Now you can start filtering in smartplaylist, where you set that you are interested for movie media and you set a filter where PATH contains /movies/ (for movies obviously).
To make background more attractive and kids friendly:
"MPAA rating" contains G (to avoid violent funarts)
Genre is Action,Adventure,Family,Fantasy,Science Fiction (those funarts are most iCandy)
Genre isnot Comedy,Drama,History (those funarts are boring)
Year greatherthan 2000 (200 is a wild guess, but old movies does not have very quality funarts)
