Hello everyone,

I want to make a games PC for the kids and connect it to the living room TV, but I don't really like the ROM COLLECTION ADDON as I wanted to have the game poster right there in the first screen, as I can see the movies. Also using this addon I was able to add games very easily, I copied a lnk file for each game, in a new folder I made STANDALON GAMES. It downloaded automatically the posters, but from time to time it's weird that there is no poster shown, no background also, for a few games.. Today when I turned it on I noticed that more then 60% of games didn;t had a poster/backround. This is also a reason I want to have just a poster in the homepage, for each game, with the path to the link it will be best way, if it's possible.

Is there a way to create, even manually, a new menu, and add games to it (also if there isn't something automated, I don't mind editing an XML file with the path to the exe, poster path, etc... )

Another thing I noticed was that when trying to install a new skin, I get dependecy errors on many skins, the only one that installed correctly was Confluence, but the other I tried (about 4 skins) they all failed. Is this a problem with my PC, or there is something wrong with the repo? I installed kodi from Windows store, expected it to work without any intervention. I haven't checked the logs yet, but a few dependencies I seen failed ware urllib, kodi..*...65

Thank you for any advices. Links to guides to make what I want are welcome

UPDATE. Some logs

To receive meaningful assistance you will need to provide a full debug log.

The instructions are here... debug log (wiki)

If you are using the Basic Method, then ensure the following is applied...
1.Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging,
2.Restart Kodi
3.Replicate the problem.

If you are using the Advanced Method ensure you have correctly created and applied the advancedsettings.xml file.

In both instances, you should see the word DEBUG throughout the log.

Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs
Do NOT post your logs directly into the forum. Always use a paste site like pastebin.com. Post the link to your pasted log in the forum
