@
fsurfer , If I understand correctly, what you would like is to have the recently added movies shelf(widget) show up above your Movies main menu item?
First, I am supposing here that you already switched to Amber as your skin. You can find Amber in the Kodi repository, or in the Amber repository for Leia (
https://github.com/bartolomesoriano/repo...-1.0.1.zip), which you can install and then install Amber from there. Installing Amber from the AMber repository will provide you with more frequent updates.
Then, here are the steps to get the shelf to show up:
1. Go to Settings, Amber Settings, Home Layout, and on the right go down to Customize Menu and Shelves:
2. In the resulting dialog, on the left move to Movies, and on the right, move down to Shelf 1:
3. Click on that, then you will get a dialog that just says Shelf 1, click on that to select what you want to appear on the shelf:
4. In the resulting dialog, click on Default Shelves:
5. Then click on Movies:
6. And then click on Recently Added Movies:
7. You can customize the label that you want for the shelf, or just leave it as is:
8. Optionally, set a limit of how many items you want to see in the shelf (fewer items usually means faster shelf loading):
In this example, I will set the limit to 10:
Notice that I did not set the sort order. This is because the default Recently Added Movies shelf is already sorted by date added, descending (newest first).
9. Press Back (or Esc) several times until you get back to the main menu. Amber will then rebuild the menu, and your Recently Added Movies shelf should show up above the Movies main menu item, like so:
You can do something similar for any other menu item that you want to display a shelf(widget) for.
Please let me know if this is what you were looking for. Thanks.
Regards,
Bart
