I have never used a skin that uses Hubs as far as I know.
I do not get what they are and what they do.
I did a search for setting up AZ2 Hubs but could only fine one guide that was not at all helpful, and a bunch of piracy addon guides.

I have no idea how to use this feature.
Can someone point me to a good videguide and a few example of how Hubs are used.

Thank you.


EDIT: I figured it out with the help of a YT video. Thanks.

I am sure there are others here more capable of explaining this than I am but here it goes.

First In Skin Settings>Home>Replace submenu with hub (is Checked)
The idea is you can create a Menu item in the hub with an associated hub widget.

Example: 
I have a Hub Menu item set for Anime 
I set the Submenu hub widget to Anime Recently added.

You can have multiple (Hub Menu items) with a corresponding (Submenu hub widget) in each Hub.

Focusing on the (Hub Menu item=Anime) 
The Submenu hub widget=Anime Recently added is now visible
clicking/selecting (Hub Menu item=Anime) takes me to my Anime Library.
Down clicking takes me to the Submenu hub widget=Anime Recently added.

Config.
Skin Settings>Home>Customise home menu
create a new menu item
then under submenu
Choose item for menu=xxxx
the set a Submenu hub widget=xxxy

That is how i use it at present.
There is another option that i have yet to try.
I can not offer any advise on that yet.

Hope this helps good luck

With a little experimentation Hubs may help.
I use emby and have many categories/playlists.
I have my AZ2 main menu items such as Films, Anime, KungFu, etc.
Then I use the Hub for each Genre Sub-categories
I also use the hub for Add-ons that relate to the main menu.

If you discover a better or interesting way to use Hubs please share here.
I am always on the lookout for ideas.

not sure i follow? What do you have in mind?
Each sub menu item has its own widget.

How do you define a widget to the submenu? I tried and could not figure it out. Even following your instructions I fell flat... I assume you cannot add two widgets per but I can make do with one per submenu item.

In skin settings -configure main menu items, when you highlight a menu item on the left , there is a submenu widget option in the list on the right , click on it and choose your submenu preference.
