I remember someone changed one of the home options to Kids and I was wondering how to add a kids section to the home screen or edit one of the current ones and change it to a kids section. Also is it posible to have a seperate library? I would then be able to select the kids section and only see kids movies and tv shows without having to be in file view.

I use profiles for this. 2 Things. though:
1) For some reason, when you create a new profile, it doesn't create a thumbnail folder for fanart. You'll have to go make a folder called "fanart" in userdata/profiles/PROFILENAME/thumbnails/video/
2)Auto-updating of the library works on the main profile only, not on the sub-profiles.

So with every different profile there is a different library. That should work great. Thx

Can I get someone to confirm the ability to have separate libraries (even if the only way to do this is to have different profiles)?
I've been asking questions about this sort of thing for a long time, and have always been told XBMC doesn't support more than two libraries total (one for movies, one for TV).

You can edit homescrollers.xml and change "Clips" or "Adult" to "Kids" and point it at a share of kids movies. I've never done it but I know it's possible. That way you could have it on the main page with Movies and TV.

I tested with a seperate profile and it worked great and allowed for a second library. I cannot seem to find where to switch profiles in Aeon, i can find it in other skins. Also I would still like to see a kids section added to Aeon's option, similar to what is in place for Adult or Clips.

I just updated my xbmc tech build last night and noticed that the profiles did not show up. When looking at the xbox over ftp, i see that the profile folders were transfered, but I still had to go in and manually add a profile through the skin, then it told me that it found the folder and asked if i wanted to keep the same options. Anyone else seen this?

ah, thank you! Could this not be incorporated into the UserData folder?

no. as it allows you to change the location of the userdata folder - chicken and egg and all that

Did not know you could change the location of UserData, I'll have to look into that....
