Link Movies from Home to multiselection

There is a screen in xTV that I can't seem to find anymore. It used to allow you (in library mode) to browse movies by recently added, genre, year, director, studio, etc.

I would like to make the movies link on the home screen link directly to that page. I am able to make it link directly to year by doing (Myvideolibrary, movieyear) however, I don't know the page (or code) to call up the view that shows recently added, genre, year, director, studio all on one screen.

Thanks in advance.

xfiring,

Not entirely sure as I don't use library mode much, but pretty sure you need to be looking at MyVideoNav.xml . Trick for you to try. Turn on full debug mode, navigate to the screen that you want to see and then quit XBMC. Go look at the log file and you will see thru out the log file lines like this:

DEBUG: ------ Window Deinit (custom50_system.xml) ------
DEBUG: ------ Window Init (Home.xml) ------
INFO: Loading skin file: Home.xml

this is your skin changing to a different screen. In this example from custom50_system.xml to Home.xml

Hope this helps

Thanks Wyrm. However, I can't navigate to that screen anymore it is just gone.

I found MyVideoNav.xml however, I can't use that as code in the home.xml. If I enter (Myvideolibrary, myvideonav.xml) it doesn't work.

xfiring,

That's OK, not sure if this was something that I changed or not, but I think I might add it back in the next version of my mod. Just released the next version, and I promised the 'BOSS' that I would not pickup notepad++ in anger for at least a week. So will not happen for a little while.
