Hi,

just updated Eden with Frodo and searching now the option, that "video" in main menu, always point to file mode.
Means that it doesn´t matter what Libary view I used before, when going to video always get the file view
That was an option which could be checked in the skin settings.
Is there a change or hidden in any way`?

---

Okay just found that other users this also missing and that is not there anymore but still exits in the home.xml, where it could changed manually.
So question was it a mistake to leave out this option or planned?

Hello, I am in the same situation a you described. I´ve searched the forum and found some threads talking about modifying home.xml, but couldn't find what are the precise changes. Could you pleas tell me what I have to change in order to point directly to file mode?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Same here. I want the Videos button to go to file view always. What do I have to modify? I have XBMC 12 under Ubuntu 12.10. Where is this home.xml file located?

Regards!

In this thread a user described the changes he did.....I didn´t looked at it by myself so far!
Maybe you can post your result after trying?

I found a thread with this info, and it worked perfectly for me.

<onclick condition="StringCompare(Window.Property(VideosDirectLink),True)">ActivateWindow(Videos,Files,return)</onclick>

original was just (videos)

Hi!

Where can I find this file under Ubuntu? What file has to be changed?

Regards!

heh, that's my post.. woo!

Hi!

Now I know what to edit, but still, where on a linux system can I find the home.xml?

Regards!

it's in the 720p folder of the skin.

/usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/720p/Home.xml

OK, I found it and made the changes. It works! Thanks!

But still, it was not easy to find that file. I am not a linux expert, just using it to run XBMC on it. But just if someone searches for it, the file is in:

/usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/720p

And there is the Home.xml.

Regards!

What I said in the post right above yours.

Yes, I saw, but as I write mine, it wasn't there. :-)

I've no idea why the option was removed and havn't got an answer, but it is a skin specific option and with enough poking around, it can be added back in.
