If you still want to have the sub menu for example you can change line 1854 of Home.xml to

Code:
<include condition="!Container(11).HasFocus(13)">TV Sub2</include>

Then in includes.xml find
Code:
<include name="TV Sub">

and after the /include add:
Code:
<include name="TV Sub2">
        <item id="1">

very easy to do... go into videos category, then playlists, then create a smart playlist, no need to worry about favourites rubbish, anyways, name your playlist, "Anime", title "watch your" then u browse ur videos/series category and add wat ever ones to your playlist, and then save your playlist... then go bak to home menu, go settings, skin, custom category, activate it, call it anime or watevr etc, then says custom command on left, then search for "video addons", it will say in a list "add your playlist", then on left search for your saved playlist u created, add it, then go ok, ok. then bak to home menu... i tried the favourites but didnt like it. doing your own custom playlists, and adding them as custom categories is the best way to go. and then u hide all the other categories u dont need or use. under settings/skin part... i hope that helps u and everyone else. my problem is i want more custom categories to add, every single one of my categories are all custom playlists i created... i hid all the default ones that come with kodi...
