Quote:OK, I found the reason for problems with playlists on Vero 4K+. I'm not a Python developer so maybe someone else should check out if my fix is OK. The bug is in smartshortcuts.py in playlists_nodes() function.

I replaced:
xmldata.getiterator()
with:
xmldata.iter()

This fixes it on Vero 4K+. I can now see my smart playlist in Smart shotcuts list. I did not have the time to try it out on PC yet.

I have no idea why it worked on a Windows PC but not Vero 4K+/OSMC. Maybe my Vero has a more recent version of XMLTree (or Python?). A quick Google search indicates that getiterator() has been deprecated in recent Python version. edit: Actually deprecated already in Python 3.2 and removed completely in 3.9

I have everything running pretty smooth on this skin mod now. The last thing I'm trying to accomplish at the moment, is in the submenu for both movies and TV shows, it has Recently Added and Recommended. I wanted to add more and to my surprise, when I went into settings, I saw more of what I wanted. But they appear to be set up already. Just not viewable when I'm on the main screen. Wondering how I can get additional submenu items to appear as they are in in the settings. Images below.

Is this meaning I should be able to set video playlists and then client can put files with artwork in its own library if they are pointed correctly?

Right now, on client, I have only been able to go into settings>media settings>host drive>host library in order to watch any of the files. I have not been able to go straight into client library(pointed to host library) to watch files.

Do I understand this all correctly? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response. So I started fresh, all over. Kodi 20.2. I then added movie and TV shows from Embry(got rid of the upnp, too many issues) then I installed mod. This is exactly what it came up with.

Seeing as how this is yet another step into unfamiliar territory(widgets, hubs and the like) what I am looking for is to add additional fields in line with the "Recommended" and "Recently Added." Such as "In Progress," "Genres," "Unwatched," and "Sets." SO it would look like:
Movies
All Movies(Titles A-Z)
Recently Added
Genres
Sets
Years

TV Shows
All Shows(Titles A-Z)
Recently Added Episodes
Episodes in Progress
Unwatched
Recommended

I hope I'm explaining that right. I tried to read up on the terminology and what these all mean but I must still be misunderstanding. Hubs are the "main sections" such as TV Shows, Movies, Surpise Me, Home, New & Popular. So would what I'm trying to add be widgets? Submenus? Or Shortcuts?

Thank you VERY much for your help!!

You're really good at making this make sense. I think once I truly know what is what, I can put together what I'm trying to accomplish. Thank you.
