Win Creating sub menus
#1
I have the following directories setup on XBMC Frodo 12.2 for Windows:

Movies
Kids Movies
TV
Kids TV
and others

I want them to be under the Videos menu for easy access.

I have tried to edit the skin (confluence) and the xml files but I am still having no luck with this, the closest I have got is editing IncludesHomeMenuItems.xml to the following:

Code:
<control type="button" id="90163">
            <include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>
            <label>Movies</label>
            <onclick>ActivateWindow(videofiles,full windows path)</onclick>
        </control>

This seems to work except when I click on the back arrow and suddenly its a directory listing of the computer.

Is it possible to have a sub menu shortcut to a specific folder on the hard drive as Movies, Kids Movies are in different folders and have the back arrow take me back to the main menu screen?

I have searched the forum and google and I can't see anywhere that says this is possible, I think it's suggesting I create a playlist?

Maybe not relevant anymore, but I had a similar question. I solved it with this topic:

HOW-TO customize the home menu with custom categories


I now have diferent menubuttons for dutch animated movies, english animated movies, kids series and normal (english spoken) series. Because the main view (background picture) changes while scroling the menu bar, the kids can easily learn how to get to their own series or movies.
