[MOD] PM3.HD Submenus Mod

Ok update on page 1 you can now disable the video view button and it includes my Tron skin.

My question was kinda vague I guess. Changing to your look of Tron does it reduce the texture size so it loads faster or did you change it at all?

I'm just trying to keep the old Xbox happy as I can and as long as I can.

the tron skin is not SD thought it can still be used as I use it you still need textures.xpr as not all textures have been replaced.

As for memory and speed use xbox textures.xpr these textures are halfed so smaller foot print faster to load.

If you want to make a new tron xpr just extract the images from it and resize them by 50%

[b]Update...
Ok redone Page 1 looks nicer also updated the submenu mod new fanart view, Seasons and Episodes thumbs look.
also updated the Tron skin fixed the background and added in the textures for the new fanart thumbs.[/b]

Thanks for the skin, I like the changes!

I am using it as I love Library mode but it doesn't include things like MythTV. I have managed to get the MythTV bit working witht his skin but cannot figure out how to make it return to the main menu when pressing "back".

Currently I have "MythTV" set as a custom source under Videos and used ActivateWindow(videofiles,MythTV) which happily goes off the the MythTV section however backing out first goes to the Video Files root, then the main menu. I tried putting a "return" on the end of the above but that then stops it going directly to MythTV, going instead to Video Files root.

If anyone could help me with the "getting back to main" bit, I would appreciate it.

Cheers
Bruce

you add the return before the last ) like this though i dont have mytv nor know what it is officiously its some sort of tv lol but is it a script, program or something else.

Code:

ActivateWindow(videofiles,MythTV,return)

Yup, tried that. Instead of automatically going to that source, it drops to Video > Files view first. Without the "return" in that command, it DOES go directly to the source but returns (via "back" on my MCE remote) to the Video > Files first, then the Videos sub menu.

Basically:

ActivateWindow(videofiles,MythTV,return) -> Video > Files view

ActivateWindow(videofiles,MythTV) -> MythTV options (which is off Video -> Files view)

This is probably not directly related to your skin version, was just wondering if anyone else knows how to do it.

BTW, I did create a custom entry in the script option that goes directly to the MythTV source but again does not return directly to the submenu like TV Shows and Videos does. Thats how all this started

Oh, and MythTV is an open source PVR.

Links work fine for me any how.

though there is a message for the owners of the google page.

Project hosting will be READ-ONLY Friday, 12pm PDT due to brief network maintenance

if you mean the images then yes i need to upload them to my page as they got removed from the hosting site.

Kudos! I love the mod! I hated having to go to the "root dir" to pick Movies or TV. It made the skin feel kinda cheap and unfinished in a way (NO disrespect intended!, just a great improvement on an already excellent skin)

I tinkered (Just starting to learn the way the XML's work) and made the last button "Internet Video" which links directly to video plugins for Youtube, Hula ect.

Thanks for the great Mod!

how do i get to choose movie genre in this mod?
