@shedrock, thanks for your feedback. I will look into that part of the code, as I had not tried something like that yet. You have skin shortcuts enabled in Amber settings, correct?

I have noticed also the focus issue you describe, but had not been able to determine a pattern, since the default behavior for a list control is to remember the last focused item. I will check further into that as well.

Yes, skin shortcuts is enabled.     

@shedrock, there are some issues with script.skinshortcuts that I had to work around in order to fix this issue.  It is now fixed.  Either download from Git or, if you installed the Amber repo, the skin should update automatically to version 3.1.6.

One point to keep in mind is that for custom home menu items, when you have skinshortcuts enabled, there is only one shelf, not multiple.  For example, if, like in your case, you decide to disable the regular Movies main menu item and create a custom Movies menu item, and assign the shelf type to be Movies, the skin will show a shelf with all of the movies, but only one shelf, not like the regular Movies main menu item, whose shelf has multiple options.

This is not something that I will address at this time, since doing so is basically on par with rewriting the menu system, which I am slowly working towards.

Please test and let me know if this fixes the issue for you.  Keep in mind also that you can create a custom home menu item for things like recently added movies, tv shows, playlists,etc. and the shelf will show the appropriate content (if you select it).  Thanks.

IMPORTANT: I had to change the names of settings in the code of the skin, so the safest course of action is to reset all of your skin settings in order to use the new version well.

No problem at all, much appreciated. I will definitely check it out in a bit. I'll actually do a fresh install as well of Amber.

Thanks so much again for all your ongoing hard work with this skin.

UPDATE: I just checked it out and I understand what you mean about the shelf items. I think I'll have to stick to the default for the moment. One of the features I love about this skin is that you have all those options form within that one widget, with the Next airing, recently added, etc. I'll keep it that way until maybe one day you'll be able to find a user selected focus view.

Either way, the skin is working beautifully so far.
