Hey guys, hoping someone can help me out as I don't know why this is happening.

I'm trying to create custom main menu items, which I can do, but each item I create goes to the same source.

This is the process I'm doing.

Create a new home menu item
Select Video Library
Select Sources
Select Kids (source)
Select "Create menu item here"
Select Movies as the display

Create a new home menu item
Select Video Library
Select Sources
Select Movies (source)
Select "Create menu item here"
Select Movies as the display

I now have 2 new home menu items: Kids and Movies

I go back to the home menu and select Kids
I see a list of items: kids, kids, movies, movies (no idea why it shows this but I select "Kids")
The kids source opens and I see all the kids movies...great

I go back to the home menu and select Movies
The kids source opens and I see all the kids movies...WTF? Why am I seeing the kids movies?

I've uploaded the screenshots of the process I went through here (not sure why I couldn't post the pics directly in here, sorry).

Hi all,

same problem here trying to achieve the same thing (have a separate main menu item for kids movies in separate video source).

When creating the menu item, several smart playlists are created with with the same name and different norder settings (e.g. 2-xsp, 2-randomversion.xsp).
Then when activating the menu item, a selection is shown with all the playlists, thats why OP sees several entires for both of the menu items...
And once one of those playlists is selected, it seems to remain active even when another menu item is activated.

As if the menu item fails to open the proper playlist but opens the "playlists" menu instead (and if a PL is already selected, shows that)? 

I am doing the same thing and am having the same problem. It worked for me in Kodi 17 so I assume it's a bug.
