How would one create a menu called say, Kids and under that create 2
submenu enteries for playlists say Movies, and TV that would be playlists. TIA

Hey madmax

Thanks for your efforts on this.
I'm having a similar problem to the other poster, where nothing happens where I can create the button,
but it looks like an empty playlist is launched. I suspect this is a path issue.

When I create a new playlist, it is created in:
C:\Program Files\XBMC\portable_data\userdata\playlists\video

I tried adding \video to the special path you mentioned, but no luck.
Could you tell me how to translate this path I have into the "special" path format you demonstrated?

EDIT:
Today seems to be my day for answering my own questions. This is how I solved my problem (for the benefit of previous poster and anyone else who comes along)

From XBMC confluence main, I went to System, then arrow down to 'file manager', then browse the file manager until I can see my playlists.
There were in "special://profile/playlists/video"

I don't suppose you would consider posting some directions to get the same thing on the main menu as opposed to sub menu mad max?
I know you posted your git but I couldn't make head or tails of it :/
thanks


thanks

There is a wiki topic that will help with this.

If for example you want to open a browse a videos playlist you would use

hi mad-max

I found a problem with this method, that's when "multiple" smart plasylist building,
and after your method modify IncludesHomeMenuItems.xml, the first time you click,
the view would be fine, then back to menu and try to second click, the view would
be empty in the list? single smart playlist(just no multiple) doesn't have this issue,
do you know how to solve it?
