Is the easiest way to do this to replace the XML of one of the existing entries I'm not using (like Programs) or is there a relatively simple way of adding extra entries to the home menu? I have 2 scripts (AMT and Home Theater) that I'd like to add to my home menu if it's possible.
Thanks.

Good tip, I can confirm that this does work.
Is there any way to set backgrounds for additional items above #12? I know there is no option in the gui but is it possible to edit a config file to achieve this?
Thanks,
Rob

Hmm, I ran into a bit of a snag.
Home Theater worked properly because it's installed as a plugin. AMT, though, is installed as a script (and must be to interact properly with the Home Theater plugin). I couldn't figure out how to call the AMT script properly. The closest I came was:
XBMC.RunScript(q://scripts/Apple Movie Trailers/default.py)
This did run the script, but it created and used UserData\script_data\AMT.db instead of UserData\script_data\Apple Movie Trailers\AMT.db. How can I call this script properly? When I do it from within the skin I go:
System -> Scripts -> Apple Movie Trailers

I managed to end this way:
<item id="11">
Kiss TV <description> Button </ description>
<label> Kiss TV </ label>
<onclick> XBMC.PlayMedia (C: \ Program Files \ XBMC \ userdata \ playlists \ video \ TV Kiss \ Kiss TV.strm) </ onclick>
rather than q://
I have the exact path and now it works!

Ok quick question related to this topic. I've got Apple Movie Trailers showing up just fine in the home menu. When I am browsing the trailers, pressing the backspace button takes me up one level to the plugins page listing all of my plugins. Is there anyway to change it so the backspace key will take me back to the home menu when in the trailers plugin?

Has anyone figured this out for launching a script yet? I'm trying to get a menu item to launch MythBox but so far nothing. I have the menu fine, but as yet my only attempts have either crashed XBMC, or done nothing.
Any suggestions?
