Sorry I see that this is posted in a development area. I will try to ask under the specific skin area. Please ignore.
I really love this script. it allows me to put an "add on shortcut" on the home screen that is actually my show list from some of my favorite add ons. This saves many selections and makes the wife happy.
Is there any way to get this to work with Jarvis? I use this with the CCM helix skin on kodi 16.1 and it works fine. I am setting up a new box with Jarvis and it does not seem to recognize the script file (v6.03).
Sorry if this has already been addressed. I did not read thru all of the pages of this forum.
After reading a little it appears that the skin may be the issue because it does not call on the script. Is their a list of supported skins somewhere?
Thanks

it's not possible, kodi doesn't save that info to your favourites.xml file.

Thanks for the Info.
So, as long as i get that right, not everything is comming from the Script? right? Hard to tell for me what is part of the Script and what is done on the Kodi side.
Wouldnt it be possible to let the script add that additional info to the "favorites.xml"? Have to admit that python isnt realy my cup of tea, but as much as i knew, it shuld be possible to add stuff via phyton to a existing .xml
Guess at the End it depends how the favorite is added to "favorites.xml" right?

So as long as i get that right, it would need a "general feature request" to get DBID, as it is part of Kodi, right?
think this could be a usefull addition, as it would allow to Skin the size of a Icon according to what it "hold".

open your favourites.xml file and check what info is listed there. ;-)
that's all there's available to the favourites script.

There are a lot of things missing from favourites, like fanart and plot/description. IMO it doesn't make much sense to add dbid without a complete redesign of the favorites feature.

Hi I'm using skin aeon mq 7 with Kodi Jarvis. Is it possible to add something like the "Add Videos" button as a skin sub menu shortcut using this script? Btw I can't find a link to the script either, i believe theres a new script that succeeds the one in the first post.
