@pintassilgo , that is certainly one way to do it, but it runs the risk of you having to re-do that change whenever I update the skin. In my opinion, the best method is the following:
1. Ensure that you have the addon script.skinvariables installed and enabled.
2. In Amber settings, in Media views, set "Use New Media Views Selector" to Yes:
3. then, select "Configure Media Views". You should get a dialog similar to this:
4. This allows you to set the default media view for each type of content, both in your library, and for plugins as well (think, for example, of setting the default view for episodes in Netflix to Big List). For example purposes, I am going to change the default media view for Episodes in my library, which is now set to Panel 2 as you can see above. So, I select "Library - Episodes", and I get a dialog where I can choose the view type that I want:
So I select Big List, and then I can go back to the main menu, using Back or Esc. If I now go to any tv show and get to the episodes, they will be in Big List view:
The good thing about this method is that it is persistent across Kodi restarts. In your case, since you want Big List to be the default for everything, just change it for all of the "Library" choices in the view configuration dialog. While this is more work than the change in Includes.xml, it will always work independent of any changes I make to the skin.
Hope you find this useful.
