Custom Action to open a sub-menu on click a main menu item? - kaivalagi - 2017-03-10

Hi All,

I am using Eminence 2 right now but I think this question would apply to any skin that needs to show a sub-menu from a directional control

Currently if I want to see sub menu items from the main menu item I need to action a down input to see it, this doesn't work with a touchscreen, is there a custom action I can use in kodi to make this happen on clicking the main menu item instead? Would this require changes to a skins xml files themselves or is there a custom action I could use without editing a skin?

Any help is much appreciated, I've looked at some wiki entries on custom actions and can see nothing there to help with this?

Found the answer, custom command: "Action(Down)" Smile Easy when you know how...
