does everything super favourites did (atleast for me) also video favourites doesn't have the flickering of screens when it opens a link
if you mess around with xml files you could even use colourise and highlight etc its much more stabe than super favourites which I loved and hope the dev is okay
if you haven't try video favourites and you won't go back to super favourites, also the code is cleaner I believe and therefore more maintainable, I hope the jmooremcc takes over video favourites
At one time I used Video Favorites with SF in Leia. I also used Simple Favorites in Leia where Super Favorites didn't work.
But now I am setting up Matrix and Video Favorites and Simple Favorities are no longer supported and won't work in Matrix.
I like Super Favorites and I just think it would probably only take a simple fix for someone who knows how and probably easier than trying to fix Simple Favorites and Video Favorites for Matrix.
As I remember Simple Favorites quit working in Leia.
Thanks for the reply.
video favourites is the successor to simple favourites , from the devs post
"NEW: Video Favourites
NEW: Audio Favourites
* The last two addons are specific to the Video and Music sections of Kodi.
* They provide direct links to addon paths and should behave better than Simple Favourites."

So you don't have to think about simple favourites.
Why would a more complicated addon (super favourites) be easier to update than a simpler addon (video favourites)? I would assume the code for video favourites would be easier to read and change and Im guessing since it does the core functionality only, the code itself is smaller...
and my last point still remains, when you create a link in super favourites and click it, kodi shuffles a few windows before it gets to where it needs, this doesn't happen in video favourites and literally they doing the exact same job, super favourites is inferior to video favourites due to this and slower I believe.
Alot of Super favourites feactures like isearch, irecommend have already been taken over by imdb helper and done in a more modern and better way.
So imo reviving and maintaining video favourites would be the correct choice moving forward?
lastly why have you moved to matrix when leia works perfectly well and it will take a while before addons move over so what benefits does matrix have?
