startup window problem with eden confluence
#1
Hey all,

I have the following problem with xbmc eden beta 1 and default confluence skin.

Selecting a startup window to videos, it starts in the screen where you choose between files, playlists and add-ons, and I'd want it to start in the video 'files' screen, like it has been since forever (well at least since 9.04 on xbox, where I started with xbmc...)

I would have expected that the option that sets the videos in home menu to always go to the files screen would have fixed the startup window problem too, but no. I made a bug about report about this (I consider this a usability regression), but unfortunately it was decided not to be fixed in eden, but targeted for frodo Sad http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/12427

Are there any workarounds?

I can live with manually maintaining a locally modified skin, if fixing this is possible with modifying something in the skin.

You might give it a try to set an onload in the home.xml...

Just edit the first lines to look like this:

Code:
<window id="0">
    <defaultcontrol always="true">9000</defaultcontrol>
    <onload>ActivateWindow(Videos,Files,Return)</onload>
    <allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>    
    <controls>

EDIT: Forget it, this causes XBMC to alway load video-files, also when you try to return home to get to music or so...
Will try to find another solution...

EDIT2: Got it...you need to change startup.xml from

Code:
        <control type="button" id="10">
            <description>trigger</description>
            <onfocus>ReplaceWindow(Home)</onfocus>
            <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
            <texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
            <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(Use_Startup_Playlist)</visible>
        </control>

to

Code:
        <control type="button" id="10">
            <description>trigger</description>
            <onfocus>ReplaceWindow(Videos,Files,Return)</onfocus>
            <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
            <texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
            <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(Use_Startup_Playlist)</visible>
        </control>

Beware: There will be a little bit delay...but should be ok...

cheers up to the north of Europe ;-)
