Hello all,

I have just updated my xbmc to Frodo rc1 on my desktop and the movies and series menus from the homescreen have disappeared.
I then looked under settings/skin but i could not find any option to enable it.
What is strange is that i have done the same update in my laptop and had no issues.
How can I re-enable it?

They disappear and do not allow you to enable them when XBMC has not entries for either category in the database. Are you using a mySQL database or the default database?

Its the default database

Are you able to get to your movies and TV shows by going to Videos > Library > Movies and Videos > Library > TV shows?

And you checked System/Settings > Appearance > Skin > Settings > Home Window Options to verify "Hide - Movies" and "Hide - TV shows" are not selected?

I can find Movies under videos, but not series.
Also there is no Home Window options anymore

Look under appearance, skin settings are under the choice of skin. Then look under the home windows options.

System/Settings > Appearance
"Skin" should be the first option on menu options on the left column
Press right-arrow to access the skin options
Press down-arrow until you've highlighed the "Settings" option
Press Enter
Press down-arrow until you get to the "Home window OPTIONS" on the menu options on the left column
Press right-arrow to access the home window options
Locate the section labeled "Hide Home Menu Buttons" and verify the "Hide - Movies" and "Hide - TV shows" are not enabled

You missed the first image I posted showing the settings button highlited. I admit it isn't super obvious that is a button to enter a submenu.

Mike69 · 2012-12-14, 00:01

you're right...

like most things in life, human error is the most likely issue.

**kricker** · 2012-12-14, 00:07

So...I'll mark this solved then. Happy XBMCing.

Wait, that was just how to get to the "Home window options" page to check the "Hide" settings.

@Mike69, did you indeed have the "Movies" and "TV shows" options hidden per the settings menu? And was this the reason those menu options were not displayed on the home page?
