I'm still confused about this. I've read the instructions (see below), and it seems as if my sources.xml file is correct. The Aeon -> Home Shortcuts menu is only optional.

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I'm willing to try the Home Shortcuts menu if everything else fails. But I don't know what to put in the shortcuts. It wont allow me to browse, so my guess is that something else is supposed to be in that setting. But what? The readme.txt doesn't say.

http://www.aeonproject.com/downloads/readme.txt says:
Quote:Aeon features a larger-than-usual array of Home page shortcuts, ranging from
Movies and TV Shows to Adult and Arcade. This does stretch XBMC's abilities,
however, and the new menu options are really just shortcuts to bookmarks
specified in your sources.xml file. This file is located in XBMC's UserData
folder and follows a strict format. For example:

<music>
<default>Music</default>
<source>
<name>Music</name>
<path>/home/djh/Music</path>
</source>
</music>

Each media source in XBMC is defined using a separate <source></source>
section, the <name> tag being what Aeon looks for. To use its additional
Home options, you need to define sources with the following names:

OPTION SOURCE NAME
Movies Movies
TV Shows TV Shows
Clips Clips
Arcade Arcade
Adult asource
Comics Comics
Game Trailers Gametrailers
Movie Trailers Movietrailers

In addition to these default names, you can specify your own in the
Aeon->Home Shortcuts menu. This is also where you can turn individual Home
shortcuts on and off according to taste.

Just type 'Movies', 'TV Shows', etc.

As long they've been scanned into the library as 'Movies' and 'TV Shows' they'll show up.
