Possible to run a script when Videos is accessed? - gabbott - 2010-05-05
I have a script to remotely wake up my media server via WOL named autoexec.py that runs when XBMC is started. Works fine.
Then I thought of possibly streamlining this further and having the script only run when Videos is accessed. Is this possible?

Yes, but it'd require manually editing your skin files. The idea is to have the Videos button start your script - the script wakes your server, then switches the display to the actual Videos menu.
(... at least, I'm pretty sure scripts can change the active window...)

Thanks, when I get some time I'll have to do some tinkering
