Yes, I understand this is the XBMC forums, but since Horizons is also usable (and in my case and that of many others, preferred) on Plex I thought I'd ask the question anyway, which is:"
Plex's most recent build (.22) fixes the previously buggy "Hide Parent Folder Items" option, which gets rid of superfluous backward navigation when getting from a Movies or TV Shows (etc.) library section back to the main menu.
Unfortunately for some reason, while the option can be toggled in Horizons, it still makes no difference - parent folder navigation is still there, requiring three distinct steps to get back to the main menu.
Is there an easy way to fix this?
Thanks...

Said feature was developed by me a couple of months ago. It's got nothing to do with "Hide parent folder items". All it does is alters the "root" of the video library window to be the path that the skinner calls it with. It thus requires the skinner to explicitly enable it if they wish.
xb2iris: Add 'return' as a parameter to the activatewindow call. Cheers, Jonathan Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

This response leaves me baffled and somewhat uncomfortable.

he means its because the skin needs to add a extra option to the open window command so it returns properly (as media stream have done)
And he also means he programmed it into XBMC and plex took the feature and added it to their code later. And he also means the setting you are changing is not what you think it is and is totally unrelated. So in the end its just the skin needs changeing nothing else Skins I have done.... ![]() And others in the past... Want to know what I'm working on currently? Check me out on Google+ |
