I wasn't trying to be vague. What I am trying to accomplish is to have a nice clean menu item that shows specific addons, and not all of them. Right now my menu has Movies, TV Shows, IPTV Addons, Add-ons, Settings and Power. The Add-ons menu has the Addon I want, but it also has several others that I don't want to see such as Skin Helper Service Widgets, ExtendedInfo Script, etc.
When I look at the Info for each of the items under Video add-ons, the one I am trying to add is definitely listed as a script while everything else is listed as a plugin. I can set the Addon for "Choose Item For Menu", but then it just launches that Addon when I select IPTV Addons. I would like to have it appear like yours does in your AZ2 menu where if I select the IPTV Addons menu it lists it below as the icon and when selected launches the Addon. Am I going about this the wrong way? Thanks again for your help in answering these questions.
Okay, yes it is the correct way to go about it. You want menu item that has a widget with specific add-ons in it.
Using a parent node as we have so far is the correct way to do this - it is just a matter of figuring out how to add a script (I've only ever added plugins before).
I'm going to try a few things with video-addon scripts and I'll report back soon.
Are you sure that the skin helper widgets method doesn't work?
It worked for me for every single video add-on script that I tried.
Can you try the following:
1. Create home menu items for "Videos" and "Favourites" (if you don't already have them).
2. The actions for these should be ActivateWindow(Videos) and ActivateWindow(Favourites)
3. Open favourites and use the context menu to remove the IPTV item.
4. Go to Videos > Video Add-ons and use the context menu to re-add the IPTV to favourites
5. Use library node editor to create a parent node and add a node inside.
6. Use add path > plugin > skin helper widgets > favourites > IPTV
7. Add the new parent node as a widget.
If it still doesn't work, a few things to test:
Test if it opens in the following locations:
Videos > Videos Add-ons > IPTV add-on (I assume it works here, but always worth testing just in case!)
Favourites > IPTV add-on
Videos > Video Add-ons > Skin Helper Widgets > Favourites > IPTV add-on
Videos > Your Parent Node > IPTV add-on
Let me know how you go. If this doesn't work, I'm pretty stumped as it worked for every video add-on script that I tried.
