Hi Ronie,

Happy New Year

I must be doing something not quite right...

using Xbmc4Xbox 26237 T!v2.11

I have enabled Music Videos button onto my homepage
I make my music videos share default
I then restart Xbmc and select Music Videos from homepage and it goes
straight to my music videos, this is great
I then back out to the homepage and go into Videos and I see my
music videos instead of my list of filemode sources.
Video menu - use file mode is set to on.
Do my music videos have to be introduced into the video library to make this work?

This also happens when using the Comics button.
Hope this make sense

indeed these things don't work reliably in filemode.
to only way to get it done is to undo:
Quote:I make my music videos share default
and modify Includes_Home.xml

for every <item id="4">, if there's a
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VideoFiles)</onclick>
change it to
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VideoFiles,NameOfYourMusicVideosFolder)</onclick>

basically the same applies to Comics/Pictures.

Hi Ronie

thanks for your reply, I tried to follow your example but I couldn't get it to work, knowing you I'm sure it was correct.

what I did do to make it work for me was to disable the videos button in the settings.

Thanks

John
