Need Command to go straight to a specific folder on local HDD. - KidKiwi - 2021-05-23
In the process of updating my version of Kodi (was on Gotham for last 10 years??) - so I'm somewhat slow on it. Been using it...not modding it.
Been setting up AN-Silvo Home Menu. Have created a submenu called Movies (Local) -> which I want to go directly to that folder on the local drive.
This has given me the closest "ActivateWindow(Videos,sources://video/,return), but it always arrives one level above the actual files. I can go into the directory, and escape out, but if Kodi is restarted I'm back to one level above the actual files. I have tried lots of different commands, but nothing gets me there. So I need some help.
The actual movie files are located at P:\Movies. In Kodi they are in a source called "Movies (Local)" if looked at via file manager.
The other thing about this, if you are at "P:\Movies" and you can see the files, if I press the "backspace" on the keyboard, it takes me up one level. Can I stop it from doing this? I only want to be in this particular folder and NOT be able to go one level up. Thanks in advance.
