answer to both of you:
you CAN set a default for initial startup of xbmc. if you DO NOT set one up, on every startup you get the node selection screen of lib view.
unfortunately as soon as you browse your music/movies/tv shows, xbmc keeps record of where you were last IN THAT SAME SESSION. so everytime you return to home menu and select one of the shortcuts MUSIC / MOVIES / TV SHOWS, it gets you back to your previous selected screen. this is an xbmc "feature".
and YES, we (you) could nail them down to always show the same screen by changing the shortcut trigger code, but that a) would prevent the user to have his own setting (like for example i like to browse artists, another one wants to go directly to the albums node) and b) if you for some reason erratically leave the view you are in right now you would have to browse to it again instead of just switching back.
