I feel a bit stupid asking this.. but is there no 'Play DVD' option for this skin? Couldn't find anything in the Skin Settings (although you can launch from videos) - admittedly it's a rarity these days but the significant other still fwaps ye olde DVD on every now and then and I know she'll struggle with this.
xbmc-9.04.2+svn21936-jaunty1 / transparency 1.03
By the way, I LOVE this skin.. would like to echo clock2113's request about shortening the list of movies in fanart view but besides that.. well, this is a near perfect skin. Thanks for all your hard work.

There's no option for this right now, but you could do this.
Settings > System > Autoplay > Autoplay DVD-Video
and it will start a DVD whenever it's entered. That's even one less step than pressing a button.
When posting about a problem please submit a
debug log to give you the best chance at getting an answer. It's easy, painless, and helps provide necessary information.

it's something i've overlooked. i thought you could use the player controls for that (they are available when a disk is in the drive, hit 'm' on keyboard or the menu button on remote) but apparently the play button doesn't work for actual disks.
i'll have to add an extra button to the controls for playing disks.
cheers for the report.

Would certainly be useful to add a link on the home page for this. I had to disable the auto play since there is a new "feature" (although for me it is a bug) in the latest svn builds, that also starts to play a dvd when you start xbmc if there is a disc in the drive, rather than only when you insert the disc.
Cheers,

I would like to always show the DVD option. For some reason it won't show up on my ASRock Ion 330. I do have auto play enabled on XBMC but would still like the option there on the home screen. How would I go about doing this?

There is one there, I thought it's suppose to appear in the menu along with Videos, Music, Movies, etc. Is there a way to make it appear up there or is it hard to do?

Ah, ic. Thanks for the clarification. I've only recently started using this ski. I was using Mediastream before and it adds a DVD option to the home screen.

What would be the onclick value for playing a dvd?
EDIT: Never mind, grabbed the code from the Mediastream skin, even have it hiding when no disc is inserted. Thanks for the links, it helped alot.
EDIT2: How can I get the background to fade correctly, it doesn't seem to crossfade like the others. I added the DVD option to the top of the menu.

I checked the file sizes, the dvd on was bigger, about 450kb compared to about 44kb. I also resized it so it has the same dimensions.
It works nicely now, thanks.
