When creating a custom home menu, I set it for an addon.

I use the widget set - Video Node, I then
set the widget format as Poster or thumbnail (doesnt matter which)

I then go back out to the main menu, I see the new Addon name (which I created) example: Exoduse
The node I set it to was the main screen with all the different icons (Movies, TV shows, My Movies, My TV Shows, New Movies, etc)

These all show on the main screen but when highlighting the individual icons and clicking enter, nothing happens. If I highlight New Movies thumbnail and click enter, it does not open.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

OK it looks as though you and I are trying to do something similar. I will explain my problem without using banned 3rd party addon names

I want to use the custom widgets as an alternative to an addon set for the reason that is surfing from a sofa that makes for a very clean interface and I can have a lot more addons in the widget than I can in the addon set (limited to 7)

I will give a simple example of the problem I have. Suppose we have a very short home menu: say Weather, Movies, TV Shows, Categories, Music. And (again to keep it simple) I have 4 adds ons Myaddon1, Myaddon2, Myaddon3, My addon4.

If you open an addon you come to essentially the same page which has the following options: Back, Movies, TV Show, Collections, Music.

To create a simple custom widget for movies I would use superfavorites and create 4 super folders: Movie Addons, TV Addons, Collections Addons and Music Addons. In the Movies Addon super folder I would create a shortcut to the movie section of each of Myaddons1 etc). I would then in superfavourites add the Movies Addon super folder to Kodi favourites and then create a custom widget that links to that favourite.

Oddly the widget displays correctly but when you click on any particular item in the widget it does not go to the Movie section of the relevant add on. Instead it either does not display anything or goes back to a screen further up in the add on. I tried manually creating the shortcut with, for example ActivateWindow(10025,"plugin://plugin.video.myaddon1/?action=movieNavigator",return) but that seems to click the back button on the addon screen not the movie button

This is deeply irritating because the combination of SuperFavourites and Custom widgets has the potential to be very powerful but I just cannot get it to work correctly. Has anyone any ideas where I am going wrong
