shortcut to NFS drive/folder for fileview? - kees667 - 2010-04-10

I mapped my NFS drives succesfully using these steps:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=451153&postcount=29

This resulted in my NAS drive now being available with an NFS mapping. On my NAS I have high level folders for music, pictures, movies and tv shows.

I browse Music in folder view as I have many compilations and find this most easy

When I select "Music" in XBMC I can see my Nas, then select music folder and browse further.

What I'd like is to somehow enable a shortcut that when I press music, I'll immediately end up in the music folder on the NAS. I recall that when I didn't use NFS there was an option to make a specific folder "default" but I can't find it anymore, is that not possible with NFS?

Alternatively I was thinking of mapping a drive/folder combination, I tried but that didnt work, but I am no NFS expert.

Any clues on if and how this is possible? I really like NFS as DVD menu structures work way way faster now.

'make default' is only available in the library mode.
if you only want to use file-mode for your music you can't use make default.

  1. add the desired destination (music folder in file mode) to your favorites
  2. look in ~/.xbmc/userdata/favourites.xml to see what you added
  3. open ~/.xbmc/skin/[your-skin]/720p/Home.xml
  4. find the the <onclick> for the music button
  5. change it to what you garbed from step 2

for example; this is how i make my music button open the classical folder...
BEFORE... <onclick>ActivateWindow(Music)</onclick>
AFTER ... <onclick>ActivateWindow(10501,/media/homeNAS/BeatBox/Classical/)</onclick>
