Change behavior of home screen item?
#1
How do I change the home screen "Live TV" menu item to start the last played channel, instead of bringing up the EPG?
If I want the EPG, I can select it from the submenu.

Using Confluence on Gotham 13.2, have the WMC server and PVR, orf course.

In the Skin Settings for LiveTV try changing type to custom then paste this in ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 32,0, 11,0) should start up livetv...haven't tested it but give it a try.

I'm assuming that I have the correct file..
xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/720p/home.xml

I found the section for the PVR around line 910..

<item id="12">
<label>31952</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(PVR)</onclick>
<icon>-</icon>
<thumb>-</thumb>
<visible>System.GetBool(pvrmanager.enabled)</visible>
</item>

Changing the onclick to read as you stated made no change at all.

What do you mean by set type to custom?

Maybe this is the function you should try?

PlayPvrTV

Not sure where you want to place it ... but it helped for mapping up my remote nicely.
(btw here's the forum thread I found the function. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=183965)

Ok...
So now where the hell is the home.xml file for the Confluence skin in Kodi RC3?
I upgraded, now I can't find the file to fix the behavior of the TV button like I did last time.

UGH!

Note that all the PVR windows are changed in Kodi Helix so if you want channels need to Activate tvchannels etc.
