The submenu hub is a separate window. You need to set it as an action to a menu item -- e.g. you can set the movies menu item to open the movies submenu hub rather than the default movies library.
The submenu hub action is under "Common >" in the home customisation action choices.
Once you change the action to submenu hub, it will show as ActivateWindow(1110)
Now when you click on the Movies icon on the home menu, you will get a window like the following:
The buttons are your submenu items. Below those are the hub widgets that you set for each submenu item. If the submenu item doesn't have a hub widget, it will use the hub widget set for the mainmenu item.

I would like to support it. However, I don't use AEL myself, so I rely on other people to test and suggest what needs to be added.
I'm wondering if there is a way to adapt the views automatically for each section, so that the correct artwork aspect is used automatically depending on what system (e.g. landscape for SNES, poster for NES, square for Gameboy). I might need to spend some time setting it up - though I've struggled in the past as it seems like quite a lot of work to get it up and running.

Seems OK for me now, on version 47. I think it may have been related to a PlexKodiConnect setting which felt unrelated but I've changed and it's now working.
@Ricks what was the pkc setting? Thanks.

- Does TMDBHelper addon have Kodi Library integration? This has been claimed in seo michael blog, but I haven't seen it working.
The workflow I would like to have is me adding movies to my trakt collection, TMDBHelper picks this up, and adds it to my Kodi local library (strm file).
- Can we remove/disable skin helper service addon.
- Can we remove/disable extendedinfo script addon.
- Can we remove/disable openinfo addon.
- Do we need official kodi trakt addon.
- Do we need Next Aired addon.
- Do we need Artwork Beef addon.
- Do we still need Open Meta or similar addon for library integration.
- I noticed jurialmonkeys repo includes marcel's and rector's repo. Why is that and what do we need from those?
- I'm running 0.1.44b and no updates show up on the jurial's repo, but I noticed he's up to 0.1.49 in github. What's the release schedule for the repo? Daily?
Thanks and hopefully answers are useful to others too.
- Yes, it does. I can't remember if it automatically syncs your collection in its entirety, but you can certainly use it to add items to your library.
- This skin doesn't use it at all. It uses TMDbHelper instead.
- This skin doesn't use it at all. It uses TMDbHelper instead.
- This skin doesn't use it at all. It uses TMDbHelper instead.
- That depends on your setup. If you need to sync statuses and such between your library and Trakt, then you can certainly use it.
- That depends on your setup. If you need to use it, use it.
- That depends on your setup. If you need to curate local artwork for library items, then it may be useful to you.
- TMDbHelper is the similar add-on you're looking for. It basically completely replaces Skin Helper and ExtendedInfo Script (including any of its various forks, above or below board).
- @"marcelveldt"'s repo includes updated versions of many add-ons (including Skin Helper and Metadata and Artwork Module, which are both used in AZ2), but I believe Skin Shortcuts would be the only one this skin utilizes. @rmrector's repo includes Artwork Beef and Artwork Helper, among other things.
- The "release schedule" is whenever I am able to update the repo. If updates aren't coming fast enough for you, download the zip directly from GitHub. If there has been an update to the repo, and you haven't seen it come through yet, follow the steps here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?pid=2934129#pid2934129
I've uninstalled and removed dependencies for all the aformentioned addons.
TMDBH does sync stuff with trakt:
- If I add stuff to my library through TMDBH, it will also tell trakt to add to my online collection.
- If I remove them, same happens.
Sadly it doesn't seem to add stuff to my kodi library, that I've previously added to my trakt collection through other means.
It would seem it only works upstream to trakt but not downstream? at least not for adding items to collection.
Since I still want this behaviour (I want my stuff to be local library, so things are fast and cached and not fetched everytime), I'm left with no choice but to keep openmeta, at least for the time .being or I find a workaround.
Oh, suggestion for TMDBH: It'd be nice if on setup, the addon suggested the user to automatically point kodi library towards the TMDBH default media folders.
Also, would you think it's a reasonable idea to point OpenMeta and TMDBH to the same folder? This way I use TMDBH for everything and let OM do it's downstream syncing stuff.
Thanks again.
It doesn't make sense to add items from your trakt collection automatically because then you will end up with duplicates of your local content.
You can't point both to the same folder, it doesn't work like that.
Strm files are just a text file which contains a link to the playable url. It's just a shortcut that Kodi treats as any other library item, except that instead of a local video file it is a plugin url. If you create it with one plugin, the url is going to point to that plugin...

(2020-03-25, 22:36)janweinreich Wrote: Uhm.. looking through the Trakt addon settings, I'm lead to believe that the whole upstream syncing i mentioned, is being done by this addon and not TMDBH at all.
I'm confused now.
Exactly what does TMDBH do related to trakt?
Sorry to dwell about this on the AHorizon thread, but they're closely related.
End of topic
TMDbHelper only pulls info from Trakt - it doesn't sync anything. The data from Trakt is used for displaying watched indicators, up next episodes, trakt collection, watched history and other trakt lists inside TMDbHelper. TMDbHelper has some manually add/remove to Trakt watchlist/history/collection options, but that is the only time it sends data to Trakt.
The Kodi Trakt addon handles syncing library data upstream with Trakt.
For TMDbHelper players, the addon being called is responsible for upstream syncing.
Downstream syncing to Kodi library doesn't make any sense because you would end up with duplicates of any local content (Trakt addon syncs it to collection so TMDbHelper adds it to its library folder and now you have two copies of the one file - the local one and the strm).
Your usage of Trakt is backwards.
Trakt is meant to be used like so:
You add content to your local library and that is synced to your Trakt collection.
You watch something and it is synced to your Trakt watched history.
The whole point is to keep "track" of what you've collected and watched. Trakt is not a library.
RE: Arctic Horizon - jdig4240 - 2020-03-26
I also am not understanding the Submenus for each main menu item. Normally a submenu would show if you clicked to the left on a main menu item, or maybe a dropdown, or maybe a Categories type submenu. I do see the one Submenu hub (1110) but I dont see any other way to see the other submenus. Is there only one Submenu hub?? So theres no submenus for each menu item? The only way to see the submenu is to make it the action of a main menu item?? I actually really like how the submenu hub looks and works, but i think theres only one submenu you can make for the whole skin correct? Sorry just a bit confused...

There can be a submenu for each main menu item, and as you say the only way to see it is to to make it the action of a main menu item. It's actually a really simple and effective way of doing it once you get the hang of it. You basically just assign Submenu hub (1110) as the main menu item then add the submenu items under the submenu option for that main menu item. It takes a bit of getting used to but if you have a play about with it you should be able to figure it all out.

You use the "same" hub for each main menu item, in that it activates the same window, but that window uses the submenu items you've specified for that main menu item's submenu.

It's just the same backup function using skinhelperbackup. I thought it was supposed to backup skinshortcuts, but if it isn't then maybe I need to write my own version.
You can backup your skinshortcuts manually by making a copy of the skinshortcuts addon_data folder and then pasting it into your new setup.
Kodi\userdata\addon_data\script.skinshortcuts
If you use profiles the folder will be under:
Kodi\userdata\profiles\PROFILENAME\addon_data\script.skinshortcuts
