Full Version: Starting XBMC and go to Movies immediately
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
In the menu you can vhoose where XBMC needs to go when you start the program. You can choose, Home, Video, Music etc, but you cannot select MOVIES here. Is there a workaround to make XBMC go to MOVIES when it starts and skip the HOME screen?
Hi, bring up the context menu in videos and you can set the default to whatever you want, movies/tv/recent episodes/recent movies.
thxz for your reply. However, I use the Multiplex view from AEONS skin and this only works in MOVIES and not in VIDEO. I guess I ll have to fill in a request for my problem.
Settings->Appearance->Look and Feel->Startup window ?

wish it was true: you can only select VIDEO here. not MOVIES
Transparency skin allows you to do that.
'Movies' is an Aeon-ism. I presume you tried it with 'Videos' ?

but Transparency isnt Aeon Laugh
Well you can't enter Movies in Aeon from anywhere but the Home screen anyway so give up now.
Replace your home.xml file (backup the file first Wink) with one that has the following content:

Quote:<window id="0">
<defaultcontrol always="true">87</defaultcontrol>
<allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>
<controls>
<control type="button" id="87">
<onfocus>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,movietitles)</onfocus>
</control>
</controls>
</window>

Major drawback: no more home screen available Wink
... but you go directly to movie library at xbmc start.
