Support favorites #32

How would you like it supported? Favourites are really intended for getting to something quickly in the XBMC UI which doesn't translate that well to the Web UI. I might add shortcuts (or customizable menu links) to pages within chorus and there is always thumbs up! Or do you want favorites to open the applicable page in the XBMC UI?

Most people already have their favourites lists built up, it would be nice if you could put a button on the left navigation bar that would access whatever we have already stored there. In my case I've created playlists and put some add-ons there, and the behaviour I would expect is that I click on the favourites button to see these lists and:

  1. for playlists it just automatically plays them
  2. for add-ons it just starts them on the server
  3. for recognizable add-ons like youtube, it provides me with sub-menus populated by their navigating counterparts on the server, for example clicking or even hovering on youtube would open a list with "search", "explore", or if you're logged in, with your subscriptions.

That would be ideal though, but if it can at least start up the add-on that's already a big win

nairdaleo, that sums it up quite perfect.

Before this gets done, the files section (which also deals with addons) is going to need a bit of an overhaul, at the moment you can't link to a file/folder/addon directly and I am not really happy with the UI. Once that is done we will have more power with linking to stuff that is is not in the library and I can attack favourites with a lot more flexibility.
