I don't know for sure if this might differ from the thing you already did. But you can set a startup window in the Kodi settings.
system settings->appearance->skin->startup window
Maybe this helps

I did but the only option available is the Videos window - No Movies library
Thanks,

Correct...I can confirm this and unfortunately it seems either it's a bug or just not wanted. Let's see if one of the devs will jump in.
Which version of Kodi are you using?

Hmmm... this makes sense. I was wondering why it was missing
The latest... just installed it a week or two ago
Thanks,

David,
My apologies for the lack of details.
I am only using the stable version.
Currently the exact version is 20150721-2f34a0c
I am on Windows 10 64-bit Home Pro
Going to play with your workaround.....
Thanks,
Eyal

I'm also using profiles in Isengard RC1 and no matter what I set the onload condition to in home.xml, Kodi focuses on whatever is 3rd from the left in the menu. I'm not sure how to create the .py file mentioned above, but I'll dig further and see if I can try that.

Create the file (autoexec.py) with a normal text editor...nano or vim...and save it to your userdata folder. If you re using profiles and want a special startup-window for all the profiles, you have to copy the files to each profile. "Userdata" will be the master profile and under that you have a "profile" folder, and below this, there should be the profile names listed you created....copy the autoexec.py to those "profile-name"-folders, too.

First of all I would like to thank you for this post because this was exactly what I was looking. I inserted the code in my Home.xml file (I use the MQ5 skin) and now Kodi boots directly into my MOVIES. However, when booting up the MAIN MENU is seen for a few miliseconds or so. Is there a way to solve this?
