I'd just like to have a second list with addons (besides the Kodi favourites list) which I can set as a home menu widget.
For sure there is a way by manually creating some xml files containing links to the needed addons or something like this?
If Super Favourites (which isn't maintained anymore anyway) is too heavy for you, how about Simple Favourites?
If you want to go down the road of editing the xml files then that's doable too. Within includes.xml (or if Nox 5 Silvo has a specific widgets-includes file then that), create yourself a new include with Static List Content (wiki) - though don't include the <content /> tags the example on that page shows. Then tell Skin Shortcuts about your new widget in the shortcuts/overrides.xml file - set the path to $INCLUDE[the-name-of-your-new-include].
You can then choose it through the normal widget selection, and Skin Shortcuts will take care of including it in the list when it's building the templates.
You'll loose it every time you update the skin, though, so backup your changes if you decide to go down this (more complex than using what's turning into a great script) route.
