Hi all,
As a newbe I want to know how I can configure Eden with Confluence so that directly after startup all video titles are shown with the layout 'Poster wrap'. I don't want my young kids, who cannot read, have to navigate in 2 or 3 steps to the videowall. I just want them to click right through the movies en select one with an enter.
Thanks,
Bloesum

There is a setting for startup window, you might choose "movies" and it will bring up your view of choice

Hi mad-max,
I know about this option, but I stil have to go through 2 menu screens:
1st one with option: movies - ....- files - Playlists - Video add-ons
2nd one with option: Genre - Titles - Year - Actors - etc.
I still have to select: movies -> Titles to get to the video poster wrap layout of my movies.

Almost there ;-) With the above code inserted I only have the first screen left now. So I still have to select movies and then I see the video wall.
But after some search on this forum there are a lot of threads about XBMC for kids. Even some simple skins are mentioned with customizing options for simple skin.

Can anybody please help me finish my customizing: I want to skip the selection menu in Videos where you can select: Genre - Titles - Year - Actors - etc.
I just want to (auto-) select the filmlist according to titles.
Thanks!

Hey thanks Wilson! Now it works!
I managed to create a smart playlist. The path to the .xsp file however differs from yours, but I am on Linux.
<onload condition="Window.Previous(startup)">ActivateWindow(10025,special://userdata/playlists/video/Kinderfilms.xsp,return)</onload>
In the settings I also found the auto startup of a playlist, but that will start playing the first movie in my playlist.
Thanks again and cheers!

Glad you got it working. One could set a smartplaylist to be in random order and
autostart so it wouldn't start with the first movie/episode in the list. Cheers!!
