Hi Deanmv
You mentioned in post #2093 that you had made some various customizations the one which I have been struggling with has been:
"Made all the home menu items (e.g. Movies, TV, Live TV, (apart from 1)) skip a level and go straight back to home screen when you press menu"
I understand that the owner of the skin has outright said he will not make this change and that you may be hesitant to upload your custom skin but would you be able to explain how you did this.
As an example I changed <!--addons--> <item id="13"> in the homemenu.xml to:
<item id="13">
<label>programs</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(programs,addons, return)</onclick>
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(addonsmenu.programs)</visible>
</item>
And this worked, when I hit menu (atv2) it takes me back to the home screen exactly what I wanted...applying this same logic to the top menu item on the home screen...in this case "videos" I made the following change:
<!--Online-->
<item id="1">
<label>Online</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,Addons)</onclick>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(videomenu.addons)</visible>
</item>
Although I can get the name change to show up and it does take me to the video addons directory as expected. When hitting the menu button it forces me to back out of the standard 2 additional menus
Regardless If I have read your post correctly you have figured out a way around this could you please share how this was done or even possibly sharing your build...either would be a great help.
Thanks in advance
