AMT in Home Menu - NickMc53 - 2010-05-24

Wondering which xml I need to edit to put an Apple Movie Trailers button in the home menu.

Also, what code do I add to that xml Wink

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:
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">
<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>
4. Where <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic,return)</onclick> is where you put the Path to AMT.
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>
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...
