Solved Adding New Category - Couple of questions
#1
i want to add a couple new custom categories to my home screen, Netflix and HBOMax

i went through the procedure to add the new categories, but when i choose Button Properties -  Type  "Favorites", when i click on Path, i thought i was supposed to see a list of my Favorites, but instead all i see is None and No Action

i do have the Netflix and HBOMax add-ons tagged as Favorites, so why don't they show when adding the favorites path for the new category?

i was able to add the new categories by using the Add-On Shortcuts option

one other question, so the new categories show on my home screen, but to get the category/add-on to open, i can't just click on the Category name, i have to click on the icon above the category name....this is unlike my other categories like Movies or Music, where clicking on the category name opens the category....why is that?

use skin settings -> home ->  Add more Categorys
activate custom 1
type preset
path: Videos -> select addon -> Netflix

there are 2 options here "addons" and "select addons" - 2nd is the solution for your problem, 1st is the addon select menu

Looks like @skybird1980 has a great solution.

Please let me know if that solves the problem.
