Kiosk mode, in xbmc dictionary, stands for "all other stuff hidden, only movie list visible". Thus, I read your post as please bring back dots so I can hide them, which is probably not what you had in mind.

For Example
1. Movies (on ABC123)
2. Kids Movies (on ABC123)
3. James Bond Movies (on SharedServer123)
4. TV Shows (on ABC123)
5. Kids Shows (on ABC123)
6. Documentaries (on SharedServer456)
7. TV Shows (local speak no 2nd line with the location)

Hey mate, nice to "see" you again!

See my previous reply, I think it covers your case as well. Right?

See there are two TV Show sections in Home. One could be from one source and the second from another source.

I get it now.

I am completely fine with mrmc populating home items automatically, based on chosen source. In Ariana, I could add a button which would open list of sources/servers - e.g.
- All
- source 1
- source 2

Based on user selection home menu would be populated. Button can be hidden if only 1 source is available so that users with only local DB won't be bothered. This would, in addition, probably render home menu customizers unnecessary.

This would actually make MrMC usable for my family as the youngest one can't navigate to her libraries easily.

However, this would require some changes in MrMC and can't be done from the skin alone.

Believe it or not vlaves, after all those years, Ariana, sio2, Amber are all rocking on some of the Quartz code. And I remain the same nitpicking bitch when it comes to skin looks and user experience

Let's use an example - you have TV (local mrmc), TV (plex), TV2(plex), TV(emby).

Button (sources) gives you a list:
ALL - you get all of the above in main menu
Source 1 - local mrmc only
Source 2 - tv (plex), Tv2 (plex)
Source 3 - TV (emby)

You get ALL by default or if only 1 source is available. Otherwise button allows you to filter your libraries if you choose so.

That was my proposal, that I could support in skin IF MrMC finds it reasonable.
