Each skin can provide additional views and that's why I do not know any of the views, to display them in the settings. The old addon provides for example only for confluence the settings to change the default view. Maybe some has an idea how to overcome this.
What I am asking is for an option that will make the default view for videos (not menus or lists) different that the XBMC default. Similar to how you can set all of your TV Shows, Seasons and Episodes to different views by default in the XBMC library, you could then make sure your video results would display the way you prefer, regardless of what skin you are using.
The addon would have to have a way of determining if each menu was a video list or not and then call the appropriate view type. As it is now, I manually set each menu the way I like and it is saved in preferences, but this takes an insane amount of time and every time new content is added or called upon by the addon it will have to be set again.
Hope this clears my question up. Thanks again.

Martijn thanks for coming in. I'm not sure what questions I need to ask but when I install an addon that is dependent on youtube, XBMC automatically downloads HenrikDK (and others) youtube addon, can it be possible (if enough users agree that this addon is what they wish to get) that we get this youtube addon sideloaded as apposed to the other one? Its used alot and since Pi has a big audience it could help out with lower power hardware. Thanks for your consideration.
edit: bromix this wiki I found on submitting to xbmc.org whenever you feel like it

The name of the addon is still different and the calling mechanism is different - see post #53.I would not recommend that because it can lead to some side effects. Every new update for the youtube addon will override your addon-proxy.
I think that the reason that addons that need youtube download the "official" addon is that they specifically have plugin.video.youtube as a pre-requisite.
It seems to me that you could fool the system and dependent addons, into using bromix's addon by replacing plugin.video.youtube with a short python script which takes this requestand turns it into this requestCode:file=plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/video&action=play_video&videoid=%VIDEOID%
Code:plugin://plugin.video.bromix.youtube/?action=play&id=%VIDEOID%
Call it plugin.video.youtube and replace the existing "official" plugin with it on your system. All dependent addons will think the "official" addon is present, will hand off their request which will be converted to a bromix addon request.

Did you maybe changed vevo playback in the latest version?
But they still play fine with the ohter addon. Strange...

We are not talking about navigating menus here, we are talking about another addon/application kicking off a youtube video.
pardon me for my ignorance, I don't code so I woudn't know. But it seems to me that theres a little extra step with the way you mention "adding a python script". So I assumed that little extra step will take that little extra bit longer. But I dont know.
I would still love to try it out. If anyone could get it to work somehow.
vevo is working here with bromix youtube
