Favorites Front And Center? - frosted - 2021-12-02

I'd like to customize confluence or something like it, to where I can start at my favorites.
If that is not possible, I would like to redirect the Movies and the TV library link to a favorite (folder) instead of the library.
Is this possible with Kodi today?

You can do that already via the Videos/Files link. Then there is also no need to scrape your video collection.

Thank you for your response. 
I know the link you are talking about, but it's several clicks deep.
I am looking for a way to either open a folder when I click the movies or TV banner link or open my favorites instead of the home screen.
Can this be done?

Can you not just have "favourites" as a main menu item ?
Edit: I should have added , you will need to change to a skin that allows custom main menu items. Most of the other skins do.

What skin do you use that allows you to customize main menus? 
I am using confluence because I like the thumbnail view.

Xonfluence, in this section does.

Thank you for that response.
I don't see a simple way to edit Xonfluence to make a favorites menu in the main menu, or a direct link to folders in the same menu in the settings.
Is there a guide to edit the XML to add these menus, or is there something hidden? Advanced is turned on and I can hide elements, but I don't seem to be able to edit the home screen to add custom folders.

Skin settings , customise main menu ?  select "add" .


RE: Favorites Front And Center? - frosted - 2021-12-07

Ok I have been working with the wrong skin. 
Is there a repo with an updated confluence?

Xonfluence is a great and accomplished skin, but for the user who asked the initial question almost surely an overkill. His request is more easily satisfied using ACZ, a skin which is faster than Xonfluence (in my testing, even faster than good old Confluence itself) and includes a very nice way to integrate Favorites in the main menu.


RE: Favorites Front And Center? - frosted - 2022-04-15

Where do I find ACZ?


RE: Favorites Front And Center? - DiMag - 2022-04-16

Search Confluence Section for "A Confluence Zeitgeist". WARNING: The maintainer says he has not (yet) upgraded his work to Matrix.

Happy to report that the KODI 19 (Matrix) version has just been released with full feature support as before including Favorites as the first item on the home menu.
First item is always focused on KODI startup. Blush
