I just finished reading the how to for custom menus sticky and wanted to know would it be possible to move/add the next aired info on the home menu over my TV show playlist?(having over videos isnt really ideal for me since i almost never use that menu) If so, what would i need to modify in which xml

Also, by making a new playlist for TV show, wont i be losing the TV Guide submenu? Is there any way to move it to its own menu? Ideally i would like to map it to my Harmony remote TV guide button (i use keyboard.xml).

Thanks

If you disable "Videos" in the home screen it maps to tv epiosdes automatically - that might work better for you.

Hmmn yeah that's a good idea (mapping it to a remote) I could maybe make it home menu item in it's own right rather than a submenu item of TV shows - that's probably the best I could do.

Yeah that works but as stated in the sticky, TV show will show my Anime so to avoid that i have to make a TV show playlist. So would it be possible get the Next Aired there.

Lol - sorry I just mangled your previous post by editing rather than replying to it - sorry!

Okay it would take quite a bit of messing around in order to create skin options that would let you change what home menu item the airing today widget appears over. If you want a quick and dirty xml hack:

Using the latest version in the svn

Edit include.xml.

Find line 2979


Change the Hasfocus(4) bit to whatever shortcut you have mapped your TV playlist to.

The custom shortcut ids are 13-20.

Cheers

cool...i will give it a try and let you you

Great, it works and i was able to get Recent episodes as well using the info in the sticky

There is 1 issue that i have now, as the sticky states, i removed the TV show control visibility but by doing that Movies menu doesnt show fanart on the home menu(i use folder) but if i enable TVshow visibility, fanart works...Are they linked? I even tried setting just a single image but its still just black.

Ah no that's a bug - thanks for spotting it - I'll fix it.

im using the SVN version from passion repo

Oh right - I've not been updating that version as I've been concentrating on the nightly build stuff. (It's fixed in the eden-pre version of the skin).

To fix it yourself - edit the home.xml in the 720P folder:

Find lines 287 & 310



Change tv-library to movies-library

thanks alot

Wanted to know if this was done in the Eden version?

Kind of sucks that im force to keep the original TV shows menu just so i can have the TV guide option

Yes I can see how that would be a pain - let me have a think of the best way to sort this.

Right it's actually all sorted in Eden - just go into programs then program addons from the home screen, make the TV Show - Next Aired a favourite item and then simply add it as new home shortcut item in skin options.

Ok, Will try that once i get home

Well i was able to do what you said, but will it always scan all my TV shows before opening?
