Hi

I recently recreated my userdata folder and now when I boot to xbmc the Music option is the highlighted option on the Home Screen. This is forcing me to press left then enter every time I start XMBC (I only use XMBC for videos)



I would like to restore it so that when I boot, it highlights the Videos option and I can just press 'enter'.

I did some searching before posting this, but I cant find anyone else with this same issue.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.

Cheers

Just found this old thread which seems to apply:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=130121

I'm no expert but I would try removing "Files" from the suggested code from the thread I linked above eg.

Code:

<window id="0">
    <defaultcontrol always="true">9000</defaultcontrol>
    <allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
<onload condition="Window.Previous(startup)">ActivateWindow(Video,return)</onload>

You can also hide main menu options that you don't need: System/Settings > Appearance > Skin > - Settings > Home window Options > Hide - (whichever)

Thanks for the replies guys, unfortunately neither of them worked. I dont want XMBC to go into Videos when I start it up. I just want the Videos option highlighted.

I installed the new beta4 xbmc via the supplied xbmcbuntu iso twice, both times Music came up as the hightlighted option when xbmc booted.

The following code will give Videos focus on startup. Edit your Home.xml and add:

Code:

<visible>Control.HasFocus(21)</visible>

Immediately after the first <defaultcontrol> tag such that the start of your Home.xml is as follows:

Code:

<window>
    <defaultcontrol always="true">9000</defaultcontrol>
    <visible>Control.HasFocus(21)</visible>
    <allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>

I was finally able to solve it. Its my guisettings.xml in /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml.
Shaolin, I tried your solution, no luck.

Newer versions of XBMC have the below code.

Code:

<weather>
        <addon default="true"></addon>
        <currentlocation default="true">1</currentlocation>
    </weather>
    <window>
        <height default="true">480</height>
        <width default="true">720</width>
    </window>

older versions of XBMC have the below code

Code:

<weather>
        <addon>weather.wunderground</addon>
        <currentlocation default="true">1</currentlocation>
    </weather>
    <window>
        <height default="true">480</height>
        <width default="true">720</width>
    </window>

Changing the addon weather.wunderground line fixes it.

Could someone advise if I should log this as a bug?
