If or until I add support for favorites home menu items in a premerge version you can easily add them manually:
1. Open Home.xml
2. You'll see a section of code like this, starting at line 114:
3. Take one of those blocks and change it around like so:
5. Set AMT as a favorite
6. Open up favorites.xml, located in C:\Users\mcborzu\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata
You'll see a line that looks like this below, I dont have AMT so I used the genre Animation is this example:
8. To set a single image just place a image in the skin.night/media/backdrops
9. To use rotating backdrop: overwrite <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(CustomMusicFolder)]</thumb> with the location of a folder with your images like so: <thumb>F:\Documents\XBMC\Backdrops\movies</thumb>
10. Change <item id="1"> to <item id="18">
That should be it...
Actually I'll try and look into adding script support for this...
1. Open Home.xml
2. You'll see a section of code like this, starting at line 114:
PHP Code:
<item id="1">
<description>music</description>
<label>$LOCALIZE[31010]</label>
<icon>special://skin/media/backgrounds/music.jpg</icon>
<thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(CustomMusicFolder)]</thumb>
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic,return)</onclick>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoMusicButton)</visible>
</item>
3. Take one of those blocks and change it around like so:
Quote:<item id="1">4. Where <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic,return)</onclick> is where you put the Path to AMT.
<description>music</description>
<label>AMT</label>
<icon>special://skin/media/backgrounds/amt.jpg</icon>
<thumb>F:\Documents\XBMC\Backdrops\movies</thumb>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(10025,videodb://1/1/8/)</onclick>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoMusicButton)</visible> <--delete this line
</item>
5. Set AMT as a favorite
6. Open up favorites.xml, located in C:\Users\mcborzu\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata
You'll see a line that looks like this below, I dont have AMT so I used the genre Animation is this example:
Quote:<favourite name="Animation">ActivateWindow(10025,videodb://1/1/8/)</favourite>7. Copy the bolded part ActivateWindow(10025,videodb://1/1/8/) and overwrite <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic,return)</onclick>
8. To set a single image just place a image in the skin.night/media/backdrops
9. To use rotating backdrop: overwrite <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(CustomMusicFolder)]</thumb> with the location of a folder with your images like so: <thumb>F:\Documents\XBMC\Backdrops\movies</thumb>
