==About==
The Video Node Editor allows you to create and customise custom [[video nodes]] within Kodi.

==Anatomy of a Custom Video Nodes==
===Parent nodes===
Parent nodes act like folders - they contain nodes, and can contain parent nodes. You can also add rules to a parent node, which will be applied to all nodes immediately within it.

===Nodes===
Nodes describe views of your media. They can include multiple elements which describe what media Kodi will display, and how it will filter it. A new node will let you set one of two parameters, either 'Content' or 'Path'

====Content====
Set content to the type of media that Kodi will display in this node. Either Movies, TV Shows, Episodes or Music Videos. Once content is set, new options become available.

=====Order=====
Set the property of the media that it will be ordered by in the view. You can select the property (title, year, director, etc) and the direction that it will be ordered (ascending, descending)

=====Grouping=====
Group media be a given property (genre, actor, director, etc)

=====Limit=====
Limit the number of results that will be returned

=====Rule=====
A rule that must be matched by any content that will be returned. Rules are made of three parts - the property of the media that is being queried (title, year, director, etc); the operator (Is, Is Not, etc) and the value that must be matched.

====Path====
Set content to a particular videodb:// address provided by Kodi. For example, for recently added movies, videodb://recentlyaddedmovies/

==Examples==

===Add a 'Recently Viewed' node===
To add a new 'Recently Viewed' node which shows the last 20 watched items to an existing parent node:
# Open the Parent Node you wish to add the Recently Viewed node to
# Select 'New Node...' and give it the title 'Recently Viewed'
# Open the 'Recently Added' node you just added
# Select 'Add content...' and choose the content that matched the Parent Node you are using
# Select 'Add limit...' and type 20 in the dialog
# Select 'Add order...'
## Select 'Title' and change this to 'Last played'
## Select 'ascending' and change this to 'Descending'
## Back out of the 'Order' property by clicking '..' or pressing Back

===Limit content by path===
To add a new Parent Node which only shows movies from a particular path.
(This presumes that differing types of media you want to display are kept in different sources. In this example, the source is smb://anime/)
# Select 'New parent node...'
## Type a title which corresponds to the type of media you want to display, for example 'Anime'
## Choose 'Movies' when asked which defaults to start with. This will give you all the nodes you will find under the default 'Movies' Parent Node
# Open the new Parent Node you just added
# Select 'Add Rules...'
## Select 'Title' and change to 'Path'
## Select 'contains' and change to 'starts with'
## Select '<No value>' and type in 'smb://anime/' OR select 'Browse for value', open the source containing your media and click OK.

All nodes within your new Parent Node will now be limited to content from that path.

==Features==

Feature set may vary depending on the integration method used by the skin, but includes
* Unlimited menu items (*)
* Create shortcuts to almost anything - library, add-ons, favourites, sources, UPnP and more
* Rearrange, add and delete shortcuts as you want (*)
* Override actions (*)
* Create shortcuts directly to a node provided by an add-on
* Create shortcuts to only show library content from a particular source
* Choose backgrounds and widgets for each of your menu items (*)

{{bluev| Set:| Allows shortcuts to be set from the Skin Shortcuts script, but menu management features are not available.}}
{{greenv| Shared Menus:| Your custom menus are shared between skins.}}

==Multiple Actions==

It’s possible to override the action of any shortcut to run multiple actions instead. To do this you need to create an overrides.xml file in your profile directory. For example, to override a shortcut that updates the video library to clean it first, your overrides.xml would look something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<overrides>
<override action="UpdateLibrary(video)">
<action>CleanLibrary(video)</action>
<action>UpdateLibrary(video)</action>
</override>
</overrides>

Note: This is only available for menu’s which are managed by Skin Shortcuts.

==Getting Help==

If you are having difficulty using Skin Shortcuts, your first port of call should be the forum or the thread of the skin you are using. People there can normally offer hints and tips in using the script, and can direct you where to go for more help if needed.

If you are getting a script error, then you should seek help in the development thread for the script, linked at the top of the page. Remember to include a [[debug log]].

{{bluev| Set:| Allows shortcuts to be set from the Skin Shortcuts script, but menu management features are not available.}}
{{greenv| Shared Menus:| Your custom menus are shared between skins.}}

==Multiple Actions==

It’s possible to override the action of any shortcut to run multiple actions instead. To do this you need to create an overrides.xml file in your profile directory. For example, to override a shortcut that updates the video library to clean it first, your overrides.xml would look something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<overrides>
<override action="UpdateLibrary(video)">
<action>CleanLibrary(video)</action>
<action>UpdateLibrary(video)</action>
</override>
</overrides>

Note: This is only available for menu’s which are managed by Skin Shortcuts.

==Getting Help==

If you are having difficulty using Skin Shortcuts, your first port of call should be the forum or the thread of the skin you are using. People there can normally offer hints and tips in using the script, and can direct you where to go for more help if needed.

If you are getting a script error, then you should seek help in the development thread for the script, linked at the top of the page. Remember to include a [[debug log]].
