Documentary Scraper

Hi,

I am looking at writing a scraper for documentaries using TVDB i have found out how to write the scraper, but how would i add a documentary to the main menu e.g. i have TV shows, Movies on the main screen how would i add documentaries.

Also how would i add the scraper as i have noticed they have been moved to the addon folder?

Hope someone can help me

Would this put the doc's in a different library? You could add documentaries to the main menu by adding it as a custom favorite.

I would like to add the docs to a different library instead of adding a custom playlist/custom favorite

No such thing out of the box, if you are willing to hack it:

Basically ignore all the cruft about custom content and create two profiles, one with your normal stuff and another with documentary stuff, then switch between them any way you like (remote, home screen, login screen)
