Getting videos to always go to top level parent folder - PeterMorgan - 2012-01-16 Hi, I need a little help I am trying to change a setting for Confluence and PM3.HD . In each of their skin settings there's an option to have the videos button in the home screen go directly to files what I would like to do is have it always go to the top folder of videos as shown in the screenshot. This doesn't happen If I've exited out of movies or tvshows directly to the home screen. I've found that the setting for files is in custom_SkinSetting_1111.xml but I am unsure how to change this to what I am trying to achieve. It seems I need a way to define ParentPath= [] . I'm not sure if this makes much sense, so I've included some snips from the log that show what I would like to achieve. This is the window I would like selecting videos in the home screen to always open. Code: 12:51:54 T:3041679088 DEBUG: ExecuteXBMCAction : Translating ActivateWindow(Videos) This is what happens if I exit movies/tvshows directly to the home menu then select videos. Code: 12:57:31 T:3041679088 DEBUG: ExecuteXBMCAction : Translating ActivateWindow(Videos) Thanks I appreciate any suggestions. - G elly N - 2012-01-17 +1 on this bugs the hell out me that i have to manually navigate back - PeterMorgan - 2012-01-18 I've come a bit further in getting what I want. I found changing line 576 in Home.xml from Code: <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos)</onclick> Code: <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://)</onclick> Gets me a window that looks like this and opens every time I press videos regardless of whether I exited from Movies/TV directly to the home menu. You can still navigate to the window in the previous screenshot by pressing back once. Its not the ideal fix but better than nothing. I'll still try and work out a way of getting what I wanted originally. - jmarshall - 2012-01-18 ActivateWindow(Videos,Root) should do what you want I think? |
