I would like to have XBMC default to a different "Default select action" (in Settings->File lists) depending on the source material. I would like it to default to "Play" to TV shows and "Show information" for Movies. I appreciate I could simply use the "Choose" option but this would involve an additional button press when watching anything.
(Was going to post this to the general forum but assume this is Confluence related.)

You should be able to achieve this with changes in the appropriate keyboard.xml sections I think....
Addons I wrote &/or maintain:
OzWeather (Australian BOM weather) | Check Previous Episode | Playback Resumer | Unpause Jumpback | XSqueezeDisplay | (Legacy - XSqueeze & XZen)
Sorry, no help w/out a

I don't see any available action in keyboard.xml that would differentiate between "Play" in the movies section and "Play" in the TV section - or maybe I'm missing something? (This is the first time I've looked in the keyboard.xml stuff)

As far as I know you can't do anything other than set it in settings as its coded in the c++

I've been looking in to the keyboard.xml and it only handles Video as a section, so no solution there.
I've been thinking of a workaround and playing around with Python script (first time I've looked at that) and I'm not sure if it can be solved but I'll take that in the Python section.

No worries, you tried to help and for that I'm thankful.
Play from here would be nice if that worked, but since I'm probably will use MPC-HC as external player I think I'll have to live without it.
