Full Version: Add-on short-cuts permanently on home screen
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have the BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, and 4OD add-ons installed. Using the appearance settings I have the icons visible on the home screen when "Videos" has focus.

I would like to either:

1. Only have the icons visible when "Live TV" has focus (not "Videos")
or:
2. Have the icons visible on the home screen permanently.

Can anyone help with editing the Confluence .xml files?
You need to look in Home.xml.

To have the video add ons show when Live TV is active instead, look for this line (around 988):
Code:
<visible>Container(9000).HasFocus(2) | Container(9000).HasFocus(10) | Container(9000).HasFocus(11)</visible>

and replace it with this:
Code:
<visible>Container(9000).HasFocus(12)</visible>

If you'd like to have the add ons show on Live TV as well as Video, TV, and Movies, change that line to:
Code:
<visible>Container(9000).HasFocus(2) | Container(9000).HasFocus(10) | Container(9000).HasFocus(11) | Container(9000).HasFocus(12)</visible>

And to have it on all screens:
Code:
<visible>True</visible>

That last one will cause the icons to overlap with any add on shortcuts you have defined for music or programs. I'd recommend not doing it that way.

Perfect! Many thanks.
