Interesting. Thank you, I'll take a look at this later. Much appreciated.

I saw this weird thing during the beta testing, and I don't understand the reasoning behind it, but it's on the default skin too, so not an issue with Mike's skin. I added a sub-menu under "System" too via Mike's skins, super easy and still fancy.

If you open the "Settings.xml" file in the "16x9" folder and add the highlighted code snippet into it like I did in this picture, that will add ADDONS back onto the Main Settings Page.



The position you paste the highlighted code in that series of items will determine where it shows up in the Settings list. I have it so "Addons" shows up first, then "interface" shows up below it, second.

Thank you, Technometry! This is exactly what I was looking for. I was able to get it done in under five minutes. Very easy. As a token of my gratitude I share the following instructions with other novices like myself wanting to perform this task while running Kodi on Nvidia Shield TV.

1. Open Nvidia Shield
2. Launch ES File Explorer
3. Select Network> Remote Manager… then select “Turn On” command button then take note of the ftp address shown in right pane

Now for me, I use a Macbook and TextWrangler (free download) as my text editor. Notepad++ is equally sufficient for accomplishing this task.

4. On Macbook, open FileZilla (a free FTP transfer utility program)
a. Plug in the ftp address as described in #3 above
b. Navigate to and open Settings.xml found in the 16x9 folder under the ADDONS parent directory
c. Right-click to edit file Settings.xml as suggested by Technometry (see image)
d. Save file
5. Restart Kodi

If you have done this correctly you will see a new section called Addons after clicking System on Main Menu
