I finally moved to Kodi 17.6 after using 16.1 for quite some time on my Android box. A few things were keeping me from moving:
- 16.1 was working fine and did all I wanted it to do
- I was using the Confluence - hwy2016 fixed by husham skin mostly because of the higher number(25) of home window shortcuts. This skin does not work with Kodi 17
Well long story short, More and more problems with 16.1 and a youtube comment pointed me the hushamconfluence(which is strangely not in the husham repo) which is a confluence mod with you guessed it, 25 possible home window shortcuts for the video menu. This skin works, 17.6 works but I'd like some more customization which brought me to Xonfluence. I guess you'll see where this is going....I'm really really missing the higher number of shortcuts, in xonfluence it seems to be limited to 7.
I tried editing the XML files and was partially succesfull, I got an 8th item to show up in the addon set but it was labeled as add-on 7 which was probably the reason the shortcuts were not showing at all and I could not navigate to the shutdown button.
I editing the following files:
in settings.xml I copied the AddonSetOne.7 id block to the code below
<setting id="AddonSetOne.8.Icon" type="string">/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.youtube/resources/media/new_uploads.png</setting>
<setting id="AddonSetOne.8.Path" type="string">ActivateWindow(10025,"plugin://plugin.video.youtube/special/new_uploaded_videos_tv/",return)</setting>
in IncludesHomeAddOnSystem.xml I copied the AddonSetOne.7 id block to the code below
<item>
<label>$INFO[Skin.String(AddonSetOne.8.Label)]</label>
<onclick>SetProperty(SubMenuBackground,$VAR[SubMenuItemBackground],Home)</onclick>
<onclick>$INFO[Skin.String(AddonSetOne.8.Path)]</onclick>
<icon>$INFO[Skin.String(AddonSetOne.8.Icon)]</icon>
<visible>!String.IsEmpty(Skin.String(AddonSetOne.8.Path))</visible>
</item
And in skinsettings.xml I copied the AddonSetOne.7 id block to the code below and upped the id by 1
<control type="button" id="709">
<width>750</width>
<height>40</height>
<font>font13</font>
<label>$LOCALIZE[24000] 7</label>
<label2>$INFO[Skin.String(AddonSetOne.8.Label)]</label2>
<textcolor>grey2</textcolor>
<focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>
<include>MenuButton</include>
<onclick>SetProperty(UsrSelectBtn,AddonSetOne.8,Home)</onclick>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(2119)</onclick>
</control>
I just noticed the 7 in the label tags, this is most likely where the 7 in the menu comes from but changing this to 8 still leaves me with a non showing shortcut bar. In skin settings add-on shortcuts all 8 items are showing and I can add and remove items, also on position 8. Could someone point me in the right direction which setting to change in which file?
Another thing I'd like to edit, navigating down from the home menu bar goes to the favorites button, what would I edit to make it go to the exit/shutdown button by default?
