Adding Addons as home screen menu item
#1
Hi,

I am using XBMC 12.0 and the confluence skin.

When clicking on videos on the home screen menu a vertical menu opens with a link to Addons (at the right). I would like to create a home screen menu item called Addons that opens the same window. Where can I find the command that opens that window?

Best regards, Moorstream

This sounds like you are using the old Confluence Vertical skin rather than the default Confluence skin for Frodo (XBMC 12.x)

For the default Confluence skin: select VIDEOS, open the context menu (keyboard "c" or right mouse click) for the "Video Add-ons" entry, select "Add to favourites". You can examine your favourites.xml (wiki) file in your userdata (wiki) directory to see the command used to open the video add-ons window. However, the default skin does not support custom shortcut buttons on the main menu; for that, you'll need to use one of the Confluence mod skins for Frodo, or else modify the default skin yourself to add this button.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies. I do not know what the Confluence vertical skin is. I am using the skin that was there by default after installing XBMC. On one computer I installed 12.0 over the previous version 11, on another computer I installed XBMC 12.0 for the first time, and they look the same. I have added the addon as a favourite as you suggest and then I have manually entered the following in my Home.xml (in the <content> tag) for Confluence in the 720p directory so now it is visible on the home screen as Addons.

<item id="15">
<label>MyCustomeHomeScreenMenuItemName... I just used Addons</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(10025,"addons://sources/video/",return)</onclick>
<icon>-</icon>

<visible></visible>
</item>

Thanks a lot and thanks for the mod link, I will check that out.

Best regards, Moorstream
