I thought this must have been reported already somewhere. But since I couldn't find anything by searching, I thought I should mention that, with Transparency 3.11.1 under Dharma 10 (from the repos), I lose the library view every time I go from the videos menu back to the home menu (with backspace) and then back into the videos menu.
It's different under Confluence, and it was also different with Transparency for XBMC 9.11. Is this already known, maybe intended behavior, or do I need to post a debug log or anything?

true, things have changed...
but why not use the Movies or TV Shows buttons on the home menu?

the single reason for the change is that in xbmc,
the Videos, Movies and TV Shows button are 'tied' together.
if i make the Videos button remember your files/library setting, this would lead to the following:
1 first, you use the Videos button first to access your files in filemode
2 next, you use the Movies button to access the movies library (xbmc changes your setting from files to library)
3 the next time you use the Videos button, you will be taken to the video library!
the only way around this is to hardcode the Videos button to always take you to filemode....and that's just what i did.
but if things go as planned this whole file/library thing will be history in the next major xbmc release.
'till then you can edit Includes_Home.xml and replace all occurrences of <onclick>ActivateWindow(VideoFiles)</onclick> with <onclick>ActivateWindow(Video)</onclick>
