Automatically open Videos folder - dm5n - 2014-10-22

Hi All,

Is there a way to configure Kodi to automatically open a preferred folder on launch?

I typically use Kodi to watch videos that are stored in a fixed location - but it is repetitive to have to select menu items Video > Folder every time.

Thanks

autoexec.py will do what you want http://kodi.wiki/view/Autoexec.py

Thankyou Smile

is this right syntax?

xbmc.executebuiltin('XBMC.ActivateWindow(videofiles,/bdrive/Users/dx/Documents/Vuze Downloads)')

which opens up the 'FIles' view, but doesn't take me to the folder itself which is a level deeper- in my FIles>Favourites menu listed as 'Downloads'
