Does anyone know how to impliment this into the current code?

http://trac.kodi.tv/attachment/ticket/98...vshow.diff

basically it gives you the option to only have movies show the information on click and for tv shows it will just play. cause I dont need to bring up the info for an episode..

any help would be much apreciated!

bump. I cant even find "resume" "show information" anywhere in the code.

I'm trying to do the same thing - seems like they completely forgot about this feature in the Kodi release. I have had some success by modifying my "system/keymaps/keyboard.xml" file to remap the "enter" and "return" keypresses to launch the "Info" action when inside the "MyVideoLibrary" view.

So, I changed:

Code:

<MyVideoLibrary>
    <keyboard>
      <delete>Delete</delete>
      <n>Playlist</n>
      <w>ToggleWatched</w>
    </keyboard>
  </MyVideoLibrary>

into this:

Code:

<MyVideoLibrary>
    <keyboard>
      <delete>Delete</delete>
      <n>Playlist</n>
      <w>ToggleWatched</w>
      <return>Info</return>
      <enter>Info</enter>
    </keyboard>
  </MyVideoLibrary>

Unfortunately, this now performs the "Info" action in both Movie and TV Show views. Also, there seems to be absolutely no documentation about the naming scheme for the window-specific identifiers in this file (e.g., "MyVideoLibrary"). If there is a movie-specific identifier, I have no idea what it is called. I tried using the window identifiers specified in this wiki page: http://kodi.wiki/view/Window_IDs, but they don't seem to correspond to those used to define the blocks in keyboard.xml.

The only reason I was able to find "MyVideoLibrary" was through trial and error. Kodi developers, please add this to the wiki!

No feature was forgotten. What OP is asking for was never included in the first place in any version.

Further to the above from Ned, we do not accept code on trac, if someone wants us to consider code changes then they must submit a PR on github with the code changes.

Maybe I misunderstood OP's request, then. What I am looking for is the "Default select action" feature for movies. I definitely remember being able to configure it for XBMC, but I can't find it at all in Kodi.

All I want is for it to show the "Movie Info" screen when I select a movie, rather than directly starting to play. I have come up with a workaround by mapping a keystroke pattern and one of the unused keys on my MCE remote to the "Info" action, but this is not the ideal solution.

I believe you a referring to:

System > Settings > Video > File lists > Default select action = "Show information"

Is there an update on this feature? I would greatly appreciate this option to separate the default select actions for movies and tv shows as well. I am new to the community and I am still learning, but if anyone that could assist me with the best way to request this (if it isn't already on a list), I'll gladly work to go about this though the proper channels.

Here's my take on it: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=261717

I think it should be linked to the view mode and/or otherwise be skinnable.
