Adding Main Menu Item for BeyondTV? - ijourneaux - 2010-12-23 I am not sure where to ask this question so decided to start here. I have Launcher installed in XBMC and have created a item that launches BeyondTV. Unfortunately starting BeyondTV this way requires the user know that BeyondTV is launched by first going to Programs and clicking on the item there. Ideally I would like this to be a main menu level item and was wondering if it was possible? Take Care PS Love the skin by the way. PPS I figured it out but in the processed noticed a possible issue. When navigating the Favorites tab in Settings | Skin you can't use the mouse on the Favorite tab. The only way I was able to enter the information was to use the arrow and tab keys. If I tried to use the mouse, the tab automatically changes to the next tab in the order (can't remember which one it is) Take Care - Sharpe - 2010-12-23 Cool so you got it working ok - nice one. It's not really designed to work with a mouse so there are the odd mouse issues - works fine with a remote control or keyboard - in case anyone else has problems. - ijourneaux - 2010-12-24 It works fine with the keyboard/remote. but that is the first time I have noticed issues with the mouse. On all of the other tabs (in that area) the mouse seems to work fine. - ijourneaux - 2010-12-28 Once you have a favorite configured in XBMC is there a single keystroke that will launch the favolrite directly? I would like to configure my remote to launch it directly without having to navigate the menu. - Sharpe - 2010-12-29 Oh sorry ijourneaux - I don't know - you would probably have more luck with this if you post it in a more general help area part of the forum. - ijourneaux - 2010-12-30 As I indicated, I was able to successfully create a main menu shortcut to BeyondTV that looks great. Unforuntately it seems that the main menu choice doesn't want to stick. I am not sure of the exact circumstances but several times I have started XBMC, the new main menu item based on the favorite has disapeared. The favorite is still there but I have to re attache it to the main menu. Any thoughts on cause and solution? Take Care - Sharpe - 2010-12-30 No I've never had this with any menu items I've added to the home screen. The only things I think that could cause this would be clicking "reset skin" in skin options or maybe deleting guisettings.xml in the userdata folder. - ijourneaux - 2011-01-01 Sharpe Wrote:No I've never had this with any menu items I've added to the home screen. I will check that later today. Today I bumped into another small issue. I re-added the main menu favorite but I didn't add the icon. I went back and edited the main menu favorite to add the graphic. Now I have 2 main menu favorites; one with and icon and one without. Perhaps the steps you list below will fix that as well. Take Care. |
