How to set up a favourite - strikrr - 2012-08-15
I am trying to figure out how to create a favourite that will go straight to a windows SMB share. I don't need it to start any file just go to a root folder and have it be on the favourites menu in XBMC. I don't have a problem editing the xml file if necessary just not sure what the line would look like.

Just highlight the folder, press C and from the context menu select "Add to favourites".
If you want to do it manually edit favourites.xml and insert something like:
Code:
<favourite name="My Folder" thumb="a_thumb.png">ActivateWindow(video,smb://myserver/video/miscfilms)</favourite>If you want to open a library node rather than a directory havea look at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Opening_Windows_and_Dialogs for the required syntax.
