Hi,

I am currently using a very old version of Neon (1.6.2) because I'm struggling to get some simple functionality working on the latest version (Neon SVN last updated 3/1/12)

Basically when I click on 'Movies' in the old version it goes straight into showing all my films as normal. The same with TV Shows.
However when I use the new version it goes into a screen giving me the options 'Movies, 'TV Shows', 'Recently Added movies', 'Recently added episodes' and 'Playlists' Then when I click Movies or TV Shows I get 'Genres', 'Title' 'Year' etc etc

I notice there is a 'Make default' on these subsequent option screens but this does not make a blind bit of difference. After choosing the defaults I want for say Movies it just does the same again.

I also have 'Show parent folder items' switched off.

I have both skins installed at the same time so I'm wondering if this is the issue but I don't want to remove the older version skin and have to put all my settings back in if the new one still is giving me issues.

I am under the impression I am possibly missing something obvious here so any advice would be grateful.

thanks alot!

I run a very custom version of neon based on an older version, try this:

Back up "Includes_Home_Horizontal.xml" (if you dont have it you'll have to find out where the home menu entries are) find the entry for "movies" & change the "<onclick>" line to:

<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,movietitles,return)</onclick>

There should be no space in "movietitles" in the above line. (the forum decided just to insert one randomly!!)

@mcfetti - the SVN version is intended only for the Eden builds of xbmc, that's why you are seeing that behavior.
