How to set Movie Submenu to custom defined library node - zigzag930 - 2017-12-30
I've used the library node editor to create a "view" into my movie library, which will list DTS-X and Atmos movies. The node works well, but I can not figure out how to activate it as a Movies submenu item. IE remove "country" submenu item (6?) and replace with this button instead.

After several hours of F...ing with different methods, I have this working.
1) Used Library node editor to make a rule that filename will contain DTS-X (or) Atmos. My rule contains to "File" (not title) rules and I changed the rule to allow either of the rules to match.
2) Go to Videos Menu/files and save the DTS/Atmos Rule (made by library node editor) to Favorites. Run it here to make sure it works and gives the right results.
3) Go to Skin Settings/Home/Submenu/Video and set submenu 5 (or whatever) to Favorites (DTS/Atmos Rule)
Bingo... it works.

I used library node editor to create a "node" (not a parent node) which contains two rules. One to match filename on atmos and a second to match filename on DTS-X.
I saved the rule to favorites. I test the node (from movies) and it works fine.
Then I go into the system/skins/home/submenu/movies section to button 6 and specify button type "favorite" and select the node I saved in PATH.
When I try to use this from the movie submenu, it started the node editor instead of displaying the selected movies.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Ok, figured it out. I can not save to favorites from the node editor. Must go to the video menu, back out until I see the node and save it as a favorite from there.

Exactly.
The other way you save the path from the addon and not from the new node.
Glad you got it solved.
