TV looks great as it is.

Check this one out. http://www.datafilehost.com/download-b2e4e307.html

I disabled the movie titles, but instead of reducing the size of the background boxes I increased the size of the movie posters. This way the size is still the same as the TV Shows. I think it looks better this way when switching back and forth between Movies or Videos and TV Shows.

This is a mod to the home.xml. "Home Videos" is a menu I added that points directly to the home vid files list and "Elena's Room" is a menu that points directly to the "Kids" genre list. I'll post details later.

I couldn't figure it out.

You need to add a new item under the first content section in the home.xml

search for the first <content> and you should see a number of items that are uniquely ID'd. Create your own item with a new unique ID that points to the script you want.

For example I have:

Code:

<content>

                    <item id="7">

                        <label>8</label>

                        <onclick>ActivateWindow(Weather)</onclick>

                        <icon>special://skin/backgrounds/north_america.jpg</icon>

                        <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Home_Custom_Back_Weather_Folder)]</thumb>

                        <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoWeatherButton) + !IsEmpty(Weather.Plugin)</visible>

                    </item>

                    <item id="4">

                        <label>1</label>

                        <onclick>ActivateWindow(Pictures)</onclick>

                        <icon>special://skin/backgrounds/pictures.jpg</icon>

                        <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Home_Custom_Back_Pictures_Folder)]</thumb>

                        <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoPicturesButton)</visible>

                    </item>

                    <item id="14">

                        <label>Home Videos</label>

                        <onclick>ActivateWindow(10025,&quot;/Volumes/iTunes Movies/Videos/&quot;,return)</onclick>

                        <icon>special://skin/backgrounds/videos.jpg</icon>

                    </item>

You can see that I added item 14 and the onclick section points to the directory where I store my home videos. The order that you list the IDs is the order they will display from left to right. label is the name that will display, icon is the background wallpaper image that will display. You'll need to figure out what the link is for your script though. It will go between the semi-colons in the onclick section.

Got it thanks.

<item id="14">
<label>PseudoTV</label>
<onclick>RunScript(script.pseudotv)</onclick>
<icon>special://skin/backgrounds/pseudotv.jpg</icon>
</item>

Glad to help.

It looks great, is it possible to mark a movie if it is already watched?

Do you know if it is possible to show the movie plot instead of starting the movie when you click on a recently added movie?

There may be a way to do this either with a highlight, background or color change, but not without in-depth redesign of existing layout with code that is beyond me.

I'm not sure about this one. Seems like it should be possible, but I wouldn't know where to look for the coding for that.
