5 years ago If I get you correctly you are looking to add some sections to the sub menu on main screen ? if so why not skip adding to favourites and just create shortcust through skin & skin.shortcuts ?

I know, have you tried it? If you did you would see it force close after hitting play. The favorites was just an easy example.

Dont want OpenMeta. I prefer the GUI look of Openinfo "All TV Shows", and "all Movies" section.

You also cant navigate to these sections using skin shortcuts (All TV Shows, All Movies, or Search)

5 years ago Was testing this a bit, and I believe I've narrowed it down to something like:
If a Kodi favorite or Skin Shortcut is pointed at any OpenInfo menu that launches into the "script interface", such that it opens without browsing directly through the add-on, Kodi isn't able to pass the correct info to the add-on in order to properly pass to the player.
A possible workaround is to point shortcuts to those sections via:
My Add-ons -> Program Add-ons -> OpenInfo
That should bypass the "script interface", and load in a standard Kodi list view. Be aware, this may not be an ironclad solution, as the add-on seems to have unexpected behaviors across different skins and/or shortcut pathways, and will not display the "fancy" browsing interface. You should be able to set any viewtype available to your skin in the standard Kodi lait view, however.
It's unknown at this time what the actual solution will be to resolve this bug.

5 years ago as a workaround you can point shortcuts or favorites to this custom action
RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=allmovies)
for the "all movies" section
replace
info=allmovies
to change where you want it allmovies/alltvshows/etc
kodi favorite would look like this
<favourite name="All Movies" thumb="special://home/addons/script.extendedinfo/resources/skins/Default/media/tmdb/thumb.png">RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=allmovies)</favourite>

Ok, so the issue with this idea is that you cant navigate inside the addon by using Skin Shortcuts if you try getting there via program addons. Also tried adding the sections in OpenInfo via the program addons to favorites and causes the same Force close. Serpent Dragos suggestion does work however!

Thank-You!! This method DOES work and doesnt force close. Win Win. So would you know the way to open the search box also?

5 years ago @JayDigg Those are the correct way to do it. Unfortunately, Kodi just creates the wrong pathways when making favorites.
Describe the bug Its an issue that only affects kodi Leia. No problem in Krypton.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior Use shortcuts to OpenInfo sections without Kodi force closing.
