Issue or Suggestion

This documentation has a few issues

  1. It says that the pathing plugin is no longer required. This may have been a planned feature, but unless the directory format is completely incorrect in the documentation, this does not work. If you follow the directions exactly it doesn't render unless you have the plugin with the OnTVInputRenderList.
  2. Although it is implied and should be obvious, the documentation should list the step of actually creating the TV and associating the custom input type.

I have recently stumbled over this problem too. Without the pathing plugin, you always get a simple text tv.

The systems doesn't find the correct path and returns a textbox instead.

As the TV is in fact automatically added to the list of available TV types, I believe that the feature is either buggy or was never completed.

Until the manager actually works like expected, this paragraph should be removed from the docs.
