Is there a way to create a widget for a specific PVR Group?

If I go into the PVR/Live TV Hub, it has "On Now", "Last Tuned" and then it goes through all of my PVR groups and creates widgets for them. How do I get just one of the PVR groups as a widget?

Ex.
I have a PVR group titled "Sports" that contains all of my sports channels. I would like to place that widget into the custom hub. Is there a command like
"plugin://script.embuary.helper/?info=getpvrgroup&group=Sports"
to get this done?

Sadly not.
You already can call the groups by Kodi itself, but groups are only assigned by an ID. Cannot remember the exact path at the moment. Once you add another group, this can be messed up.

OK. Thanks for the heads up on adding another group.

Figured it out. For anyone else looking to do this you can create a custom widget with a path of:

Code:
pvr://channels/tv/Sports/

Change "Sports" to the name of your PVR Group.

is this skin/addon/kodi-version dependent?
how do you add a "custom" widget? I can't see an option for "custom".

Go to Settings >> Custom Widgets >> Click on Edit Path >> Custom Item >> Paste "pvr://channels/tv/Sports/"

Then in the Config section for that widget, add your Headline (ex. Sports Channels), Type: Other, Layout: Wide

Then you can add it to the main menu (or one of the other hubs) by going to Settings >> Home and Hubs >> Edit widget configuration and add the custom widget that you created in the step above.
