shortcut to video plugins

flacnvinyl · 2009-04-03 23:25

I have successfully created a button on the home menu that goes directly to my video plugins folder. Below is the code in my Home.xml folder...

<item>
<icon>E:\Apps\XBMC\skin\xTV\media\ff.png</icon>
<thumb>E:\Apps\XBMC\skin\xTV\media\ff.png</thumb>
<label>31007</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(video, plugins)</onclick>
</item>

How can I make this button nav to the folder WITH functionality? It acts as though I am looking for video files within the plugin folders, when really I just want to run the plugins themselves.

I found this page: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Window_IDs and it was very helpful, however there is no 'plugins' tag. I have already tried running it as (scripts, plugins) but the plugins cannot run as scripts and will not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(I started this in the xTV forum but that hardly gets any traffic. This seems like the appropriate area.)

Here's a little snippet from the custom plugins section I've got for the skin I'm working on.

Code:

<onclick>XBMC.Activatewindow(Videofiles,plugin://video/$INFO[skin.string(CustButVideo1Path)])</onclick>

where CustButVideo1Path=hulu or youtube or w/e the plugin folder is called.
