    As the heading says how/can you add a new genre on a UHD3000 using HT4? I want to add a category Indigenous, etc.

    The are two tables GENRE_INFO and CUSTOM_GENRES but as far as I see only GENRE_INFO is used.

    You can add custom genre via HTTP Client by adding a new Movie Type

    And how is it possible to remove a genre. I asked this a while ago in an other thread, but with no suitable answer. My genres got messed up when I used XBMC. I have now an English description and my native Dutch description for the same Genre when I use the filter. For example "Family" and "Familie". But the English named genre is empty (0 movies found). As it is with all the other English named genres. So I like to get rid of the English named genres.

    SOLVED: Created my category following the instructions OK but I now have this message about a "sidebar". Pressed menu, popup, long press on Ok but nothing! So how do I activate or create a
    sidebar?

    Managed to work that out AND my next question was going to be, how do you do a wrap of the icons!
