I'm really interested in this, too. I have a collection of Formula One Races from the beginning of the 90s and I would really like them to show up in XBMC.
So far I managed to rename the "Videos" Entry but that's not exactly what i want. It would be awesome if someone could show how to
- create a new entry in the home menu
- link this entry to a specific folder
Thx!

Yes this would be very useful. I'd add a "Music Videos" section to mine...
And a "Podcasts"

me 5th, would be awesome to be able to add a custom catagory and tell it what kind of content would be in it. As already mentioned a Music Videos one would be perfect for my setup. If this is do-able and wouldn't be a huge undertaking I would love to see a future release of MediaStream have this

I'd like to setup a 'New Shows' category that would show my most recently added shows.

That'll be awesome - in the meantime, is there any way to do it in the xml file?

Looking forward to easy addition of home items. This could be perfect for non scrapeable items such as UFC etc...

I know how to add an item to my home menu, i guess ...
Isn't there any simple way to:
onlick go to D:\Folder\ ?
Thx!

Ok, if anyone just wants to rename their "Watch your Videos" Button and open a specific folder on click, here's what to do:
WARNING: THIS WILL REPLACE YOUR CURRENT VIDEOS HOME ENTRY WITH A CUSTOM ONE!
Go to C:\Program Files\XBMC\Skin\MediaStream\720p and open Home.xml
In line 1359-1365 you'll find:
change this to
Replace "F1 Races" with whatever suits your needs.
Then, in C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\XBMC\userdata\sources.xml
under
add the NAME of the source you'll want to be displayed on click.
In my case, this will look like this
because i added D:\F1\ inside XBMC and used "F1" as the source name.
Here ya go.

exactly! I have about 40 UFC PPV's I've encoded and imported to XBMC, having no scraper for them blows. But it would be easier and kind of cool to see a "UFC" or "PPV" menu option.
