I can't get a new view for TV Shows working in my skin, and I can't figure out why.

Here is my include

Code:
<include name="tvserieslist">

<control type="group">

    <posx>0</posx>

    <posy>0</posy>

    <width>1920</width>

    <height>1080</height>

    <control type="image">

I am entering the TV Shows page directly from the home screen with

Code:
<item id="2">

                <description>TV Shows</description>

                <label>TV Shows</label>

                <onclick>xbmc.activatewindow(videolibrary,tvshowtitles)</onclick>

            </item>

Can anyone help?

Does the view have it's own xml? If so you need to add it to includes.xml. Might be one problem.

No I've put the view into Commonviews.xml

The first view I made for my Movies is working fine I just can't figure out what's wrong.

Put <focusposition>0</focusposition> above <scrolltime>

Not sure if <description>TV Shows Wraplist</description> where it's at screws things up but put that under <control type="wraplist" id="52">

Those were two things I quickly noticed

Try changing the visibilty on the wraplist to movies and see if it appears. Make sure you have a tv show library as well.

Moved those two things and still not working....

Nope doesn't work if I change it to movies, I still get my original movies view...I do have a TV Show library lol

Try changing:

<viewtype label="tvshowlist">wraplist</viewtype>

to
<viewtype label="tvshowlist">list</viewtype>

That did the trick mcborzu!

Can I just ask what the word inbetween </viewtype label="tvshowlist"></viewtype> does anyway? Can it be anything?

Shouldn't MyVideoNav's window id should be 25?

Yeah I think it has changed to 25 but 6 still works Smile

Please don't use hardcoded window id's - use the window name instead.

I don't want skins to break if we go and change stuff around!

<window id="25"></window>

I don't think you can enter a name there? He used 6 instead of 25.

Or is <window id="videolibrary"></window> also possible?

XBMC completely ignores any id="" in normal windows. What I mean is that you shouldn't reference them by id (i.e. ActivateWindow(25) is a bad idea).

No I always open windows by calling their name ie xbmc.activatewindow(videolibrary,tvshowtitles)

Is that right?
