Creating new Content type & view - hookum - 2020-05-01
Hello fellow Kodizens,
I'm developing an addon that supplies video content to Kodi which does not fit into the available categories. I've also developed a new view (list type) to display this content. My questions are as follows:
- How can I tell Kodi about this new content type?
- Can I make my view available as a separate addon, or should I fork an existing skin, and modify that (current approach)
- How can I ensure that my view is only applied/available for my new content type (it wouldn't make sense to display a movie in this view, for example)
- My view is currently available to use in my modified skin (Bello 7), but it appears in the menu as "list"; how can I give it a better name?
