Dear XBMC Forum Members,
First let me wish you all a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year, I know you are all most likely quite busy with holiday things so I will do my best to be as brief and clear as I can in my request for help. Thank You in advance for your time and assistance, it is most appreciated.
Recently I updated from XBMC 11 to XBMC 12 RC2 and decided that Xperience1080 was the best skin choice for my needs, After all its just flat out incredible. The problem I am having is as follows, due to the way XBMC's library is set up all of my Anime shows are mixed in with my regular Television shows in the "TV Shows" library even though they are in separate folders. Sadly it seems there is no way around this if I want to use anime scrapers.
So I have decided what I want to accomplish is the following. I would like to find a way so that when I click the main TV Shows button on the home menu instead of it going to the main TV Shows library that includes everything, I would instead like it to point to a specific folder. The folder being the one that contains all of my regular non-anime TV Shows.
I am aware I can add custom buttons that link to folders or playlists as additional items on the home menu, but doing this just confuses my other family members, especially my little ones as when they click TV Shows they are expecting just regular television, not the entire library that just so happens to include my large anime collection. So the best option really is to change the TV Shows home menu icon to point to a specific folder, that being the TV Shows folder on my hard drive.
I have read in other posts for other skins this is possible by editing a few lines in the skins xml files; however after searching for the specific lines (such as ActivateWindow lines) in Xperience1080 hoping to find them, I was sadly unable to find lines named the same. I suspect the lines I would need to change are differently labeled or are in an area I do not know to look as this is a different skin. Hence my desperate request for help here.
Any assistance you all can offer is as stated earlier, greatly appreciated. Especially being that the holidays are upon us and most of you are busy spending time with family and friends.
I look forward to hearing from you all, once again Thank You for your time and Happy Holidays.
