Is there a way to set XBMC to load directly to the "movies" cover art screen rather than the home screen? I can make it go to "videos", but I don't see an option for "movies".

Excellent, got that working by going into my startup.xml file and changing the script:

Code:
<onfocus>ReplaceWindow(Home)</onfocus>

to

Code:
<onfocus>ReplaceWindow(VideoLibrary,MovieTitles,return)</onfocus>

Worked like a charm! Now I just need to figure out what it is to have the focus go to the last movie watched so I can change the script to something similar to:

<onfocus>ReplaceWindow(VideoLibrary,MovieTitles,return,LastWatched)</onfocus>

Any ideas on that one?

You can hide watched files.

Or make a smart playlist with "in progress" = "true". And call that.
To start where you left off in an episode (Will show all files you stopped half way).

Or by order lastplayed (should produce a list of only things that you have seen)

But i don't think it can take you to just any episode in the library that you watched last with a command.

Did find this script someone recently wrote though:

This script will auto write your last location.

Tried giving the script found here a try, but it kept failing. I have a feeling it's conflicting with the code I used before. Unfortunately I am a novice when it comes to scripting so the other code, frankly, confuses me. So when it doesn't tell me why it's not working I mostly just panic and run away.

The problem with making a smartlist and/or sorting the list into the order of last played is that I want to keep the list in an alphabetical order. I just want it to center on whatever I watched last.
