So I’ve been trying to get two things to work, if it is even possible to do. Maybe someone out there is more proficient than I am.
2. How can I get kodi to play personal video files randomly from a folder that is not scanned into the library, since they are home videos? I know how to do this by choosing the folder, but I’d want a submenu shortcut to do it with just one button press.
Try this as a submenu item Using "Change Action" then Scroll all the way to Custom Item instead of using Choose Item For Menu. Enter this line in the space provided:
ActivateWindow(Videos,smb://path_to_files/,return)
Ex. ActivateWindow(Videos,smb://mycomputername/video_folder/,return) That target folder must be shared with everyone if it's on a Windows PC and accessible via smb. To test the folder's access to smb (this should probably be the 1st thing to do) use the Kodi file manager and see if you can set it as an smb source.
