top level menu items which are a direct link to sources.
for estuary this will need to be added to C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\skin.estuary
find <visible>String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),tvshows)</visible>
add after <param name="list_id" value="6900"/></include>

xml:
 <include content="WidgetListEpisodes" >

                            <param name="content_path" value="llibrary://video/tvshows/myfolder.xml"/>

                            <param name="widget_header" value="myfolder"/>

                            <param name="widget_target" value="videos"/>

                            <param name="list_id" value="6090"/>

                            </include>

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\library\video\tvshows
make myfolder.xml

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<node order="40" type="folder">

    <label>myfolder</label>

    <icon>DefaultFolder.png</icon>

    <path>D:\download2019</path>

</node>

can I change the behaviour so Kodi doesn't hide the TV Show folders for which the metadata is missing or incomplete?
Media Center Master may help with this
