Hello Folks,
I have a request to make - I am looking for a feature like this in skins since I first installed XBMC. Unfortunately I have 0 coding experience in python and also very little time.
My problem: I have a vast movie collection which I want to seperate in several parts. For example, Pixar movies are mixed with hardcore Splatter.
I want my gf to use and enjoy my xbmc as much as I do, but I would like to make a "special" selection for her like "girls-movies" so she doesn't have to browse my collection and skip so many movies she would never watch. Same applies for my young nephew.
It IS possible to do some separation using smart playlists. Also Playlists would fill my needs. What I could do now is create some playlists and access them in xbmc, but for my feeling this is a very "complicated" way with a low SAF (Spouse acceptance factor).
Many skins (Alaska Revisited, Night) have the option to put plugins directly on the home screen. From my point of view, it would be perfect to have a plugin which lists Playlists, Smartlists and Sources (For Documentaries, for example) here. You could name this plugin "Categories".
Does anyone like this idea?
