Open a directory (source) from home menu
#1
Hi there,
I'm a bit stuck. Was just wondering if i wanted to open a specific place in my video menu from the home menu
ie:
instead of clicking "watch my videos", then navigating to source called damn
I could click "damn" from the home menu.

i can add the menu option but cannot make it open the source directly:
(source = Damn)
<item id="12">
<description>Cool Shutff</description>
<label>Damn</label>
<label2>Oh</label2>
<thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(CustomMusicBGFolder)]</thumb>
<visible>true</visible>
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,Damn)</onclick>
</item>

How do i open a directory?
I can only get the video directory ,listing the sources, to open.

Many thanks

Set it as a favourite and then check your favourites.xml for the activation link.

Thanks for the prompt reply hitcher.
However (to my frustration) i don't have a favourites.xml file in the 720p folder (in, minimeedia, mediastream or confluence) i'm not using dharma could this be the reason?

Thanks again!

Sorry I assumed you'd know what I was talking - when you add a favourite item it gets added to the favourites.xml in your USERDATA folder.

Cheers hitcher,
I feel dumb now, even the wiki was saying something about userdata but i hadn't twigged, but you made it clear.

Thanks for having an understanding of my mental block.

Have a good (what remains) bank holiday!
