[feature request] direct access to my pictures from kodi home menu

[hoppel118 37]

Hello @@Angelblue05,

 

thank you very much for all the time you investigate into this really great kodi addon.

 

I saw that you are working at the picture feature of emby for kodi: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/52043-emby-photos-library-showing-empty-in-kodi/

 

So, I think it's the right time to ask for a feature. I would like to have an option to access my pictures directly from the kodi home menu. At the moment I have to do the following 5 steps before I see my pictures. May be it's somehow possible to give us an option to link the home menu item "Pictures" directly to the step of the last picture.

 

I know this is possible with some skins, but not with the estuary default skin and not with the skin I use. May be you can give us an option for this in the settings of emby for kodi.

 

What do you think about this?

 

Greetings Hoppel

You'll have to use a different skin because Estuary menu items cannot be customized (you'd think they would have learn that lesson with confluence...)

 

Once you pick another skin (maybe there's a Estuary mod that allows you to customize but you'll need to check) you can go to interface skin settings > and add a new menu item that points to your photos directly via addons > Emby.

Yeah, I am aware of this possibility, but I have the feeling that this skin helper service makes my system unstable.

 

My thought was, that it maybe possible for you, to code an option under emby addon settings for us, that links the menu item „Pictures“ directly to the point of screenshot 5.

 

If this is not possible, forget this request.

 

Thanks and greetings Hoppel

No, sorry. Maybe there's a way for you to do it yourself, by modifying the skin files. I'm not sure how it goes. @?
