In Dharma, I was able to set a remote button for Videos and one for Files.
Switching between the two would show the currently viewed location for Videos and the currently viewed location for files.
Example:
I'm looking at season 3 of Dexter in the video library.
I press the "files" button and it loads the file view in the root folder.
I browse to the dexter, season 3 folder.
Then, I press the "videos" button and I'm looking at Season 3 of Dexter again.
Pressing the "files" button takes me back to the file view of Dexter.
In other words, it would open the same folder that I was looking at the last time I had either view open.
In Eden, things seem to work much differently.
I'm able to set these buttons.
But those always open at the root of those folders. Is there a third parameter that I can use that will open the previously opened folders like it did in Dharma?
Also...
When viewing the information page for a TV show there are a series of buttons on the bottom.
"Browse" "Cast/Plot" "Refresh" "Get Thumb" "Get Fanart" "Get Artwork"
My question is: What exactly is the "Browse" button supposed to do?
Originally, I assumed it would simply open the season browser so I could chose an episode to watch but when I press browse I get seemingly random results. Sometimes it opens the folder in episode view which is what I would expect. But sometimes it opens in file view and sometimes it gives an error about not being able to play some non-existent file.
What function is that actually calling?
Could I change that function to do what I want? Something like "Browse this folder in FILE view"?
Is this a skin specific setting? (I use Neon)
Which file would contain this button?
