Back Button Goes to Home - westcoastbias - 2011-08-16 06:33
So I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to a newer build knowing I couldnt get the vertical menu anymore. Its not bad, but theres an issue that is really bugging me.
I have assigned some playlists to the favorites and when I go to them from the home menu its fine. However, when I hit back instead of being taken to the home menu instead I am taken to the videos menu. I end up having to hit back 4 times to get to my desired destionation.
I searched the forums and found this
legendman Wrote:It's decided by the main menu's .xml. For instance, if you have the movies button activated like this, it will return to the home menu on back.
Code:
<onclick>ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,MovieTitles,return)</onclick>
And if you remove ',return' it will act like Ellipsis does. Try editing Ellipsis' IncludeMenu.xml. You can also assign PreviousMenu (I think) to a button and use that to exit to the main menu. I hope that was clear enough.
So try as I might I cant find a includemenu.xml for confluence. Can someone help me out?

Your your running it from favourites there is nothing the skin can do about it because we have no control of what gets added there

I know this is outside the scope of this forum, but is it possible to map a button to a remote that automatically goes to the home menu?

It sounds like a bug IMO, hitting back in your case should bring you to home.

Well that was an unexpected response. Any way to confirm that its a bug or do I just need to reinstall and go for it?
I am on the June 19th(ish) build for atv2. Whatever the last "stable" one is you can get from nitotv.

Technically it's not a bug: The favourites item provides a shortcut to the item you want, so if you like it's basically clicking through to the playlist for you. Thus, going back does go back through the heirarchy. This might do what you expect if the favourites button was actually on the video screen for instance.
Whether or not we should add the ,return by default or not I don't really know. I suspect it is what most people would want, but I'm not completely convinced one way or the other.

Alright, I understand.
But your answer seems to leave the door open that there is something I can change to make it happen. I need to add the ", return" to an xml file correct?
Could you point me in the direction of the correct file as there is not an IncludeMenu.xml for confluence (unless I was looking in the wrong place).

in your userdata dir called favourites.xml
- westcoastbias - 2011-08-17 02:03
Here is my current code:
<favourite name="New TV ">ActivateWindow(10025,"special://profile/playlists/video/New TV Shows.xsp",return)</favourite>
This doesnt seem to work. Does it have to do with the " part?
- jmarshall - 2011-08-17 02:28
That should work just fine. Do you have a debug log of it not working so we can see where the issue might be?
