For example... Now I can open "Tv Shows" and it shows my TV library. But let's say I wanted a menu item called "Cartoons" and it pointed to the folder I keep my cartoons. Essentially so I can split up my library.
I know I can use Super Favorites but it opens kind of slow (having to open SF and then the path. And then backing out is also an extra step). I would love it it opened as fast as my library path opens. Thanks.
Maybe something like this I use it for Classic Movies. You need to edit the sources.xml file [In /userdata] in the video section of the sources.xml file. Then you can add it as a sub menu item or as a menu item. Not sure but I think they have to be part of you library....I dunno as I use MySql to handle that and that's why I did this on each device that has no Kodi Library (other than MySql shared data). Now, I don't know that this will/will not cause any problems...I just know I've been using it since I switched to this skin and I have not had any issues.
Code:
<source>
<name>Classics</name>
<path pathversion="1">smb://ZOTAC-1/D/Movies/Classics/</path>
<allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
