Hi

Is there any way to individually turn on/off sub menus?

I am looking to add an Iplayer icon and as part of the submenu i would like 4OD, STV Player, BBC IPlayer, 5 on Demand etc......

I can achieve this but i need to switch on the sub menus for all - videos, music, etc

Can i choose what sub menu's to switch on and off?

All help appreciated

not that i know of...
you can always replace the existing sub menus with blank entries....
if they bother you that much.

how do you do that?

includes_home.xml

This would be the section for System sub menus. Line 2504.

TV sub menus. Line 1223.
etc. etc.

You need to find entries like this:
And set this visible tag to 'False', no quotes.

That way you can turn off any sub menus you don't want. I personally have no need for submenus like Genre, Year, Director, etc. So I turned all them off to clean it up a bit.

Hope it helps.

Where is says visable do i just edit that to say false??

its ok i figured it out

Hey gerry, In the latest build (April 9) I've changed it so if the custom submenu button title is blank it will now not be visible in the home menu instead of showing "button 1,2,3.."
