Trying to make more shortcuts or at least change the available ones to act the same way as tv shows and movies. For example, I want to change the my list section to display widgets. I've already done this with the new section by changing the action to open window113, i believe, which wasn't being used and had the hubs setup. I just need to learn how to make more of these windows.
When I add more sections to the menu it ends up overlapping the power menu so I need to figure out what to change to keep that from happening. For now I just disabled the power menu and added a settings shortcut.
I also need to figure out how to get the widget titles to change within these hubs. I am able to do it on the home screen only by changing the name to "$INFO[Container(ID).ListItem.Property(widget)' Wrote: " ID being the widget id. This way I can have random genre widgets that display the genre
And also, not really important, but I couldn't get icons to show on the weather widget
I use TMDB and auto widget for most of my widgets.
I don't quite understand the homescreen set up you want. Why do you need so many hubs like the TV and Movies hubs. OK, a sperate Anime hub I get but what else do you want to separate from your Home hub/TV hub and Movie hub?
Regardless, I've fixed the menu list now so you can have as many hubs/shortcuts as you like. Haven't updated yet so you can just change the following line in includesbingie.xml
Around line 1362, change the height value from 680 to 500. This will always show 6 items and then scroll to show additional list items.
Now you can have your power menu back (and even put some shortcuts there instead). All my shortcuts go here, things like video add-ons/program add-ons, reload skin etc. all go in the power menu section.
Regarding widget titles, these are configurable within the unlocked hub itself (or the edit shortcuts menu depending on which hub widgets you’re editing). Look for the option "set label" in either of these situations.
I was going with more of a YouTube on my Nvidia Shield style look for the menu. Thanks to you I figured out what settings need to be changed.
As far as contents, I was just brainstorming a couple weeks ago figuring out what all I wanted. If I cant figure out how to make a new window Ill just add everything to the Home menu since you can have 40 widgets and keep the Netflix style menu.
Live TV: I changed this to be a shortcut to a TV Guide
Search: I changed this to be a shortcut to TMDB searches
Home: still brainstorming, maybe things like addons, networks, actors, comedy, etc.
Latest: new, coming this week, coming next week, etc.
TV Shows, my list, watch it again, continue watching, trending now, popular, based on recently watched, and 2 random genres
Movies: same concept as tv shows but added in theaters
My list: these would be lists I make using Trakt
Gaming: platforms, genres, recently played, favorites, etc.
Anime: same concept as tv shows
Originals: Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Disney+, etc.
But these are all pointless if I cant figure out how to add widgets to them
