Kodi Community Forum - Live TV opens with popup menu

When I select the Live TV option from the main menu, the Live TV option is starting in default channel view. But the problem is most of the time the popup menu is opened (where I can select channels, radio, recordings, epg, etc).
Is there a way to prevent this?

Frankly, I don't know.

I asked that before: https://github.com/pecinko/quartz/issues/19

I found the way.

Code:
diff --git a/1080i/Home.xml b/1080i/Home.xml

index 07e720e..a8697cd 100644

--- a/1080i/Home.xml

Sounds good. But I am not really sure what to do with this code. Do I need to change something in the xml-files or download something?

Yes you have to change one line on xml file.
In quartz skin directory (skin.quartz) change 1080i/Home.xml file line 358:

Code:
<onclick>ActivateWindow(PVR)</onclick>

to

Code:
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(PVR, 11,0)</onclick>

then reload skin or restart XBMC.

I am using the default skin of the beta of XBMC. It starts tv in a windows. Therefor, is it possible to start a channel instead of the "nothing" option you said?
