Is something like this possible?

PHP Code:

<defaultcontrol always="true">#VAR[videodefaultcontrol]</defaultcontrol> 


The variable is defined by Skin.String, such as:

PHP Code:

<variable name="videodefaultcontrol">
    <value condition="Skin.String(menuentry,movies)">301</value>
    <value condition="Skin.String(menuentry,tvshows)">301</value>
    <value condition="Skin.String(menuentry,videos)">50</value>
    <value condition="Skin.String(menuentry,favs)">50</value>
</variable> 


Fouled something up, or just can't be handled like this?

EDIT:
As an aside, I'm changing the control direction currently with a bit of a hack.

Pointing <defaultcontrol> to an invisible button control, and using button <onfocus>, like this:

PHP Code:

<control type="button" id="106">
    <left>0</left>
    <top>0</top>
    <width>0</width>
    <height>0</height>
    <onfocus condition="Skin.String(menuentry,movies) | Skin.String(menuentry,tvshows)">SetFocus(301)</onfocus>
    <onfocus condition="Skin.String(menuentry,videos) | Skin.String(menuentry,favs)">SetFocus(50)</onfocus>
    <texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
    <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
</control>

Variables dont work in that tag afaik. Use SetFocus(ID) with conditional onloads instead.
