Add Smart Playlist to Main Menu - aceuk - 2019-10-06

I have created a smart playlist for concerts and want to attach it to the concerts button on the main menu.
This would stop it being populated with music videos ( I hope ).
How do you do this ?

Database was created by music videos on Kodi, we use for concerts in MQ skins, the only way is put concerts is movies, and split content type using smartplaylist. You need create 2, one for your regular movies and others for your concerts videos items (useu rules based on the path for split), Use replace function in customize main menu and replaced the original movies with one smart playlist and create a new item for your concerts.

Wanilton – I replaced concerts with Smart Playlist then renamed it. But I’m having a problems getting to see the concerts.
I click on Concerts on main menu

Which takes me here - Then I click on Concerts

Then I'm here -

So I click on highlighted area .. and go to 

Image

So Now I click on Files

Now Click on Concerts to finally see my concerts as shown below. That is 6 screens to get to see them. how can i set it so when I click on Concerts in main menu it takes me straight to list of concerts as below (screen 6)

Another issue is - you will have noticed that there is no image on the dvd case. I have tried entering it manually as per your info on another post but it will not display anything. I have images .thumb & .poster and none work. Any ideas?

When press enter will list the items, something is wrong in your smartplaylist, all items need be scrapped first and populate Kodi database.  

If you have teamviewer, send me your id and pw and I will check, send me via private message.

I don't have teamviewer (but will look into it)
So I deleted the smart playlist and created a new one with a concert scanned into the category.I then replaced concerts in main menu with video smart playlist. Now when I click on it I go to screen 5 ( pic 5 in last post ) so it has cut out a lot but still not right. Did I do everything right. If you can't think of anything I'll see about sorting  the teamviewer.
One thing though I now have picture on the dvd case

Just looked into teamviewer and I cant do that.
