How to do that?

[Blakztar]

Go to system ---->> settings ---->> interface ---->> skin ---->> configure skin ---->> add-on shortcuts

There you can choose which "thumbnails/icons view" to set as default.

I followed your instruction, when I am in "addon shortcuts" I can only to choose what addon to have (in video, music, etc.) but I cannot change the view inside the addon or inside the skin.

Instead, when I run the addon, I can change the view to icons but It will be ONLY for one page of the addon, it is impossible to use for example in the YOUTUBE addon, I want to see it ONLY in icons not text!

Is this what you mean

Is this what you mean

Yes.

Once I was able to obtain that view inside the YT plugin.

Now they say that is not more possible because I am to use the skin (confluence in my case) to obtain that view.

I can change the view into icons (left of interface) only for ONE PAGE AT TIME but I want to browse into the YT plugin for EVERY PAGE in icons, I cannot change to ICONS in every page... I cannot use the YT plugin from the sofa in such way!

So I ask if can can make ALL KODI to be viewed in ICONS interface.

I'd prefer to have only that YT plugin in ICON and the rest of KODI in normal text but if it's impossible now (why you did that), at least I'd like to have ALL KODI in ICONS.

Please help

As far as I know it is not yet possible to do that the way you want it.
You can edit the default view for the video addons to thumbnails but that sets everything to it and not only yotube.
I did it myself by opening the youtube plugin and clicked every section from the main menu and change it to thumbnail view and that sticks and every section under that seemed to have the thumbnail view after that and if not I set it manually for that section.

Probably if you contact the developer of the youtube addon and ask him/her to implement this function they can build this functionality in my eyes this would be a great and welcome update.

This is what is necessary to do.

Im sorry but this is an incorrect suggestion. Per Team Kodi policy Addons are no longer allowed to set views. Skins must set views.

There is a very detailed explanation in the FAQ of the YouTube Official thread here.

Good to know I was not aware of this, so the best way would be to ask the skin developer(s) to build this functionality is this what you are trying to say ?

I myself do not need it per se as I already set all sections the way I want but of course more control options to set things as wanted are always welcome.

But for me even that will be to solve my issue!

But please show me step by step how!!!

To me it's impossible!

[Blakztar]

Most go to my work now but once I am there I will post my way of doing it

[Blakztar]

Sorry for the delay.

If you are on linux changes are made in the following file

~/.kodi/addons/skin.confluence/720p/MyVideoNav.xml

If you are on windows changes are made in the following file

%AppData%\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.confluence\720p\MyVideoNav.xml


Change it to reflect the following picture the 3th and 5th line are the important ones changed the default 50 to 501.
You probably saw it yourself already but starting from line 11 the numbers are explained.

[Pipppero2007]

In my:

\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons

I don't have any "skin" folder at all. :-(

[Blakztar]

Maybe you have the skin folder in another place and you have to search for it, otherwise I do not know how to help you further.
