Making Kodi the ultimate center for entertainment - joemcisaac - 2019-03-06

i know you guys have had big troubles with addons but why just focus on addons why not focus on making it the best media center i would say 50 percent of kodi users have kodi on an android box running it threw a sound bar,why not easy main menu change with different scrapers for concerts and music videos and general music.home dies people like to hang on to what they have why not focus that under the mapping and main menus so its not just about the addons but it makes it worth while for people to use.
Just a suggestion

Not sure what exactly you are missing in regard to local media collection then.
What you said is already possible. If adding distract you then hide the menu entry.

Then you need to set up custom menu items. See... Custom home items (wiki)

       <property name="menu_id">$NUMBER[20000]</property>
       <onclick>ActivateWindow(mybigfavourites)</onclick>
       <thumb>special://skin/extras/sidemenu/internet.png</thumb>
       <property name="id">custom1</property>
       <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNocustom1Button)</visible>
      </item>

page
xml:
<!-- page layout -->

     
    
 <!-- <control type="group" id="20000"> -->
    <!-- <visible>String.IsEqual(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(id),custom1)</visible> -->
    <!-- <include content="Visible_Right_Delayed"> -->
    <!-- <param name="id" value="custom1"/> -->
    <!-- </include> -->
    <!-- <control type="grouplist" id="20001"> -->
    <!-- <include>WidgetGroupListCommon</include> -->
    <!-- <pagecontrol>20010</pagecontrol> -->
     <!-- enter widget content      -->
     <!-- </control> -->
    <!-- <include content="WidgetScrollbar" condition="Skin.HasSetting(touchmode)"> -->
    <!-- <param name="scrollbar_id" value="20010"/> -->
