Thanks for your help Guruso. Worked out great

Good stuff man

Is there a chance you could add video node as a custom menu type. aAce has this and it makes it easy to add custom buttons without the need for playlists or favorites.

And another vote for an easier way to reorder the menu buttons. I'm on a Pivos Xios so I'm concentrating on lite skins.

Hi everyone

I have installed this skin and it is great - but currently if I start xbmc the default selected entry in the home menu is "Music" - How can I change this?

Regards
Yu

^ Go to 'mod settings' via the exit menu, then home windows options, custom offset. It's a number that counts from left to right - experiment until it lands on the one you want.

thank you - It works

Founded !
But we have to check first "Enable custom focus for Home menu at startup"
then "Custom offset" setup appears

ok so i made a boo boo somewhere...

im not an expert at this at all, but having done a little programming here and there and having a basic understanding of general programming i thought this XML stuff wouldnt be too bad... also, theres always google and this wonderful forum,

so - this is my favorite skin, by far. but who doesnt like a little customization? - that being said heres what happened.
ive spent a good bit of time getting all my backgrounds, sub-menus, hiding things, etc. then i took the plunge - adding a new home button.
from what i could gather it was as simple as find the list of home buttons codes in home.xml, copy and item block and change parameters to make it work.

my syntax must not be spot on because when i saved the file and restarted xbmc, there was the infamous blank space.
so i thought, no big deal - i'll just erase what i copied and resave and it'll be good as new.
then i restarted again and it was still there. staring at me, i could hear it mocking me saying " you didnt back up home.xml before you messed with it. BWAHAHAHA"

after faceplaming myself against the couch and thinking all was lost i remembered reading about someone having trouble with the blankspace.
i went back to post 79 and tried to select and unselect custom favorite. no dice.
i then restarted my computer - only to open er up again and see it there,

so - here i am yet again. fearing all is lost. - im almost certain nothing else had changed in my home.xml
does anyone know if there is a certain file - maybe like a cache, or temporary settings - that could keep this "button" between my music and videos?

happy to post file or anything else that might be helpful. thanks in advance.


SS of what im working with.

also if its worth noting, though theres no text- i can "select it" (clicks and rests on space)
& enter make "select" sound
back makes "back" sound - so it acts like a button but i erased the code that generated it in the first place so im pretty lost.

Hi guys,

I have also a blank field now after experimenting with the gui. However, I have not touched any xml files; btw. have never edited any files uo to now. So, i really would like to know how to remove this blank field.

A further thing I would like to mention is, if it is possible to redirect (in main menu) videos + music directly to files mode? I know, this can be done via customisation in the options, however, then the submenus are missing. Thank you anyway for the best (lightweight) skin available at the moment.

Due to having a child that uses xbmc I use kiosk mode. But obviously in kiosk mode you can't access the hidden menu and the filter/ advance filter menu. Without disabling kiosk mode, is there another quick way of being able to filter my collection? Or possible add the filter feature to the home menu? Any suggestions would be appreciated?

[don_camillo]

Also is there a way (setting or editing files) so that when selecting Video's from the main menu it always goes to the files menu? This was part of the Eden Confluence skin that was removed for Frodo.

Only by editing Home.xml in 720p folder of the skin...

See line 1107 and change both onclicks to

PHP Code:

<onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,Files,return)</onclick> 


That works :-) Thanks. And what do i have to change in home.xml to directly get into music files mode ?? THX

[stinkfinger]

anyone tried this on their appletv2? or is it set up for desk tops

[RuiF]

Hello,

I'm using this skin and need help upon two issues:

How to create a counter at the documentaries tab (like the ones that appears for the movies and concerts) ?
What is the Frodo naming convention for music album covers and artists ? I've loaded all albums into the library but I don't get any of my local images to appear.

Can anyone point some hints ?

Regards,

Rui

Ok, here's a bug:
When I go to TV shows, the last displayed fanart there gets stuck and appears in the movies library too. Every movie has this same, last displayed TVshow fanart! This occurs only when extrafanart is enabled!
If I go to Movies before going to TVshows (after a cold start of xbmc) the fanarts display properly.
It happens on all 3 win7 machines (sharing the same video library).

I have the exact same issue. I have had to turn off the extrafanart to stop it annoying me (yes I know -so little patience!)
