Giving this new version a go. Looks good so far. Still struggling to see how to add a tile for a custom for a media browser library (in my case, childrens). I've chosen "TV Shows" from the widgets menu for my tile, but not sure what to put into "action".
Can you point me in the right direction?
Hi Daruda,
It is very simple to do just that. Open up the skin settings and go to the "edit homeschreen dialog".
Arrange the tiles in the order you like and delete any you don't use.
To add extra tiles (to any location you want), just add a new entry and press the "choose shortcut" button.
In the next dialog you can choose from a large range of predefined entrypoints and you can even browse your collections and addons to create the shortcut for.
If you're having the mediabrowser mode enabled you will besides the XBMC Library also see the "mediabrowser library", open that one and select the collections node.
Well you should see the names of all your defined collections here (like children) but there cirrently is a flaw in the addon which causes to display every collection just as "custom entry" in the settings screen. But, if you add one to your home menu it will show up (and work) just fine. Untill this is fixed it's kind of trial and error, I'll contact the author of the addon today for support with this issue.
You really don't need to use the button to change the action, that's for advanced use only to override the default action of a button. You can just select entry point with the "choose shortcut" dialog.
I hope that my explaination gets you goiing. Besides that, the skin provides a very good default for the tiles on the homescreen, including the first 4 user collections.
So basically if you reset the shortcuts to defaults your tiles will be added automatically!
To reset the menu to skin defaults, press the reset button in the settings screen for the home menu.
Please let me know if it works out for you like I suggested.
