These recent steps do get the item to show up perfectly under the menu item, but when I select it, it gives me a file list. I wonder if I should be making a different choice when I'm setting up the sub-node. You mention I should choose Plugin and then choose my AddOn, but when I select Plugin I only get PlexKodiConnect, ExtendedInfo Script, Skin Helper Service Widgets and Special Features. My actual AddOn appears under Video Addons which don't appear under Plugins.(2019-05-04, 17:14)poondoggle Wrote: @jurialmunkey
Here is what I'm doing:
1. Launch Library Node Editor
2. Given two choices (Video Library or Music Library) Choose Video Library
3. Scroll down to near the bottom and select "*New parent node..."
4. Give it the name IPTV Addons
5. Next screen has a heading of "Start with defaults" and there are four choices (None, Movies, TV shows and Music videos) I choose None since it is the only one that fits.
6. Scroll up to the newly created Parent Node IPTV Addons and select it
7. There is a list of three items on the next page (*Add rule..., *New node..., and *New parent node...) I choose *New node... and then name the new node.
8. Scroll up to the newly created node and select it.
9. The next screen has (*Add content... and *Add path...) I choose *Add path...
10. I scroll down and select plugin but do not see my Addon. I am only seeing (PlexKodiConnect, ExtendedInfo Script, Skin Helper Service Widgets and Special Features)
11. If I do choose Skin Helper Service Widgets, there is an option to choose Favourites at the bottom. I am not sure I need to add to Favourites though.
12. if I choose Favourites there are three options on the next screen (Link path to here, Favourites, and Favourites Media). I choose Favourites
13. My addon is listed on the next page because I had manually added it to my Favourites yesterday.
14. I select my Addon and the choose Link Path to here on the next page.
15. The next screen has the long including the Script Helper Service listed as part of the path.
16. I then back up a step, bring on the context menu and then change the icon.
I figure this should work, but I think I am doing something wrong with the home menu. I do the following.
1. Go to Settings > Skin Settings > Home > Customize Home Menu
2. Select my previously created menu item called IPTV
To be honest here is where I get lost. I'm assuming I will need to modify "Choose Item For Menu", "Submenu / Categories Widget" and "Widgets". I've tried every combination I am think of and the closest I've gotten is that I can get a small icon for the addon to appear under a categories widget and it will launch, but I can do that without using the Library Node Editor. It just doesn't look right. I would love to get it to look like yours does in the previously link you shared.
Once again, you were almost there!
You just need to add the parent node that you created as a widget to the main menu item.
1. Open the home customisation screen.
2. On the left, focus the menu item which you want the widget to appear under.
3. On the right, click "Widgets"
4. Under "Edit Widgets" click the spanner icon to choose a new widget.
5. Navigate to "Video Library > IPTV Addons > Use as Widget"
6. Close the customisation dialog and return home and your widget should be under the item.
Now any add-ons (or any node) that you add to that parent node will show up in the widget that you created.
Movies
TV
IPTV Addons
Movies
TV Shows
Files
Playlists
Video add-ons
If I select the IPTV Addons, it shows me the sub-node I created including the icon, but it doesn't do anything when selected. Also I want it to launch the addon from the Main Menu anyway.
