Hi there,

I noticed on several skins (Ie: Focus/reFocus) that when i enter the movies section and i press back to go to the home screen i first have to go through 2 other screens, one of them being the library mode/file mode.

Since on several other skins when i press back i go directly to the homescreen, is there anything i need to configure in order to do that?

Thanks,

No, not really possible in Aeon... the skin needs a setting in the main menu to be triggered to know if it is in tvshow or in movies section. if you could get to those menus and change the section, the skin would have errors. For that reason we have a ",return" parameter for all main menu video items, so that you always come back to the main menu. (more info here) I know that´s a disadvantage, but to rewrite that would be a really big task...

EDIT: sorry, i thaught this was posted in the Aeon thread... too much tabs open

Hi Phil65,

Thank you for the quick reply,

However being a new user i guess i posted in the wrong section as this question has nothing to do with skin development but what i believe to be skin settings.

On certain skins, once im inside the tv-show library i am able to go directly to xbmc main menu simply pressing back, in this specific skin when i want to go back to the main menu i have to go through two other screens, one of them being library screen which show me options like:

- Genres
- Title
- Year
- Actors
- Etc..

But from your explanation it seems to be skin specific and has to do with the way the skin was built, that meaning this is something i am not able to configure on the xbmc or skin settings, am i wrong?

Again, thank you, and sorry for the wrong section.

Adding ,return to the relevant code will do this for you or you could just press Esc/Home.

[phil65]

so what skin do you use?
that behaviour is controlled by a return parameter, you could edit the xml files yourself (but you should not do that for Aeon65 as that will break a lot of things).
If you want to go back to the main menu you use for example:
ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,movietitles,return)
if you want to go back to the other menus you use:
ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,movietitles)

[mcborzu]

The way to have it behave like you want is:

<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic,return)</onclick>

THe ,return will cause [backspace/delete] button go back to home and bypass that category screen


or just use the [esc] key

Some images might help since my english can be a bit confusing sometimes

This is the starting point, the main menu: http://cl.ly/c5254e86df36506d2cdc
If i click on Movies i'll be taken to: http://cl.ly/2b2e19d5c96335ff95b2
but if i want to go back to the start point, pressing back takes me to this screen: http://cl.ly/92975c9bcf051e0041cf making me having to press back again in order to go home, this is annoying hehehe

I know some xml editing and will look for those parameters and edit them, hopefully with the images you're able to identify properly what ive been talking about.

Thanks a lot for all the help guys
