Guys,
I must be doing something wrong somewhere because this has to be the simplest thing possible in an HTPC front-end.
I’m a long time MediaPortal user (5 years), just recently switched to Kodi after a built a brand new Broadwell-E/Pascal based HTPC/Steam rig.
I’m running Kodi v17 “Krypton” on Windows 10 Pro with the beautiful Aeon Nox as the Skin.
I have almost everything setup except for a couple small issues.
Here’s what I’m trying to do:
I have a folder called “NHL” on one of my Hard Drives which has nothing but NHL games. There are no sub-folders and all file names are explanatory. I don’t want any fancy images or scraping or NFO files or information or any such thing.
All I want is a Menu Item on the Home Screen called “NHL”, when you click on it, the list of MKV files appear. That’s it!
Somehow I can’t seem to achieve this. I’ve tried Playlists, Favorites (which is close – but not exactly). This was very easy to setup in MediaPortal.
I was able to create “NHL” as a custome entry in the skin’s menu; and pointed it to the “I:\NHL” folder. It comes up on as a menu item on Home Screen, but when I click on it, I don’t see the contents of the “NHL” folder, I see options like “Movies”, “Files”, “Add-Ons”, etc .. then I have to click on “Files” then reach for the “I” Drive and then go into “NHL”.
Please tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!!
