Hello there! I added an Anime Movies item within the sidemenu. I simply copied the Movies item and changed ids.

However, I am not able to get to the widgets within Anime Movies through my keyboard/button navigation. I have been trying to debug it for an hour and just cannot figure out what went wrong. 

home.xml (Movies item/button)
xml:
<item>

    <label>Movies</label>

    <onclick condition="Library.HasContent(movies) + Skin.HasSetting(home_no_categories_widget) + !System.GetBool(myvideos.flatten)">ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://movies/,return)</onclick>

    <onclick condition="Library.HasContent(movies) + Skin.HasSetting(home_no_categories_widget) + System.GetBool(myvideos.flatten)">ActivateWindow(Videos,special://skin/playlists/movie_titles.xsp,return)</onclick>

    <onclick condition="Library.HasContent(movies) + !Skin.HasSetting(home_no_categories_widget)">ActivateWindow(Videos,special://skin/playlists/movie_titles.xsp,return)</onclick>

    <onclick condition="!Library.HasContent(movies)">ActivateWindow(Videos,sources://video/,return)</onclick>

    <property name="menu_id">$NUMBER[5000]</property>

You haven't correctly identified the menu id as being a number so Kodi thinks it's a string id instead.

<property name="menu_id">16000</property>

Should be:

<property name="menu_id">$NUMBER[16000]</property>
