Okay, so, I don't know if this is skin-specific, or system-wide or what.
Most (all?) skins have "Movies" and "TV Shows" options on the home screen, which take you directly to the respective section of the XBMC video library. That's great. I love it.
What kinda bugs me is when I hit the "previous screen" button on my remote, it doesn't take me back to the home screen, it takes me to the main library screen, where I can choose "TV Shows", "Movies", "Recently added blah blah blah", etc.
I'd rather my "TV Shows" and "Movies" sections limit me to that section (mostly for ease of use for my girlfriend).
Is this something I can do?

Most skins actually DO do this correctly. They have the return parameter to the ActivateWindow function.
Note that there was recently about 150 revisions in SVN where this function didn't work as attended - it's back up and running now.
Cheers,

Awesome. I thought that's how it was on 9.04.012654gf5532533 or whatever, but I wasn't sure. I'll grab the latest build.
Thanks!

Okay, latest build fixed this, but I'm still seeing a related problem, I think.
Open up the "Videos" section, switch it to File Mode. Back out, and go into "Movies" or "TV Shows", then back out to the home screen, and back into "Videos", and it's back in Library mode.

That's a problem with whatever skin you are using I suspect.

Currently using Mediastream-Redux. I'll try a couple of others and see what's up.

Its the reason I don't use horizonz although it looks nice. How it deals with tvshows and videos is so dumb as to be unfathomable.

Mediastream Redux works just fine for this (at least last time I used it it did).
It should be linking via ActivateWindow(VideoFiles) on whatever button you are pressing?
You can probably take a nosy through Home.xml to verify this.

Videos must be linking to ActivateWindow(Videos) then. Change it to VideoFiles.
