Change start location from Movies to TV shows - bcarney - 2017-06-25 In Estuary, when Kodi starts the default location in the left hand menu is Movies. I'd like to change that so when Kodi starts, the default location is TV Shows. In Home.xml I tried changing: <defaultcontrol>9000</defaultcontrol> to <defaultcontrol>6000</defaultcontrol> but that didn't change anything. And frankly that pretty much sums up my knowledge about XML and how Kodi works. Any suggestions on how to change the default location? RE: Change start location from Movies to TV shows - DaVu - 2017-06-26 As I can´t figure it out myself for the moment (and I´m also not a skinner) but you could do it with an autoexec.py in the kodi userdata folder. Create that file and fill it with: Code: import xbmc That will move one step down to TV-Shows at the start of kodi. Not the thing you want exactly, but it will work RE: Change start location from Movies to TV shows - bcarney - 2017-06-27 (2017-06-26, 11:14)DaVu Wrote: As I can´t figure it out myself for the moment (and I´m also not a skinner) but you could do it with an autoexec.py in the kodi userdata folder. Create that file and fill it with: I gave that a shot, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I think it may be due to nothing having focus when Kodi starts, so there's no place to go down from. RE: Change start location from Movies to TV shows - bcarney - 2017-06-27 I figured it out. In Home.xml, look for this text: Code: <item> and move it up above the previous <item>. This will move TV Shows to the top of the left hand menu, above Movies, and thus will be the default location when Kodi starts.

Create that file and fill it with: sure, if you have changed the <defaultcontroll> to 6000 there might nothing be focussed and therefore the autoexec.py won´t work. I thought you reverted that change already But glad you figured it out |
