Use the skin’s actual customization capability
The guide’s skin-dependent examples select JellyCon nodes as links or widgets. Inspect the controls offered by the installed skin and version. For an original navigation example, a label chosen for a household should lead to the library that household actually uses, not a similarly named global list from another account.
Preserve the existing home arrangement before changing it. Add one harmless shortcut with an understandable label and select the intended node through the skin’s supported route. Keep the label separate from the destination so a later renamed library can be checked precisely.
Test the shortcut and any widget independently
Activate the new shortcut and confirm the actual library contents. Then inspect any widget configured to show recent or next-up items. A working library link and a correctly filtered widget are separate results. The viewer’s history can affect a next-up list independently of the skin.
Open one known authorized item and return through the intended navigation. If the home link opens a different server or profile, preserve that actual destination before editing more labels. Repeated cosmetic changes do not resolve an underlying user selection.
Retain the working route with its version context
Restart Kodi normally and verify the intended home entry still leads to the same node. Keep the skin and JellyCon versions with the final route. A later skin update can change the editing interface without changing the actual server library.
The expected outcome is understandable navigation to a known JellyCon destination. It does not synchronize the server into Kodi’s local database, grant extra content access or guarantee identical widget behavior in every skin. Preserve the ordinary add-on route as a fallback while the custom home layout is assessed.
Questions answered
Does a home label named Movies prove it uses Kodi’s local database?
No. Inspect its actual destination. A skin entry can point to a JellyCon server node.
Why test the widget separately from the shortcut?
They can request different lists or filters. A working library link does not prove the widget’s source and viewer state are correct.
