    Is it possible to access the items a user has defined in Moving Pictures' category list to be presented and used on Basic Home like a dynamic sub menu Moving Pictures?

    Say I setup my categories like this:

    1. All Movies
    2. Unwatched movies
    3. Movies for kids
    4. Recently added movies
    5. Director index
    6. Genres

    Another user has setup his categories like this:

    1. Recently added movies
    2. Unwatched movies
    3. All Movies
    4. 18+ Movies

    So when each of these users load a skin of their choice, they automatically get this list without having to click on Category List first - jumping straight into where they want to go. I was thinking that this could be a really great thing for all skinners and enhance the user setup experience. I'm not saying get rid of non-standard options, but looking at TITAN's Moving Pictures sub menu for example, it doesn't work out of the box if a user has made changes to his/her categories in Moving Pictures, you'll get this error:

    "Another plugin or a skin tried to open a category in Moving Pictures that does not exist!"

    This would of course also be a nice addition to MP TV-Series. ;)
