[MOD] home-menu hacking

Hello,

can anyone write the code to add a anime section as a sub menu in the Videos section of confluence. So Movies, Tv Shows then Anime Smile

This was for MS_ReduX but it should work with Confluence...

If you need an extra Videos submenu button add the following code to Home.xml - Line 432ish

All you need to do next is change YourLabel and YourPlaylist to whatever you want and create a playlist giving it the name you choose for YourPlaylist

PHP Code:

<control type="button" id="90108">   
  <include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>
  <label>YourLabel</label>
  <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,special://profile/playlists/video/YourPlaylist.xsp,return)</onclick>
</control>

I manage to get an anime section into the Confluence skin doing this:

Code:

<control type="button" id="90103">   

  <include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>

  <label>Anime</label>

  <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,C:\Users\Luis\Videos\Anime,return)</onclick>

<visible>Library.HasContent(Anime)</visible>

</control>

I can view library mode however it doesn't give me all the options of library mode that Tv shows and Movies has but when I also scrape the anime information, It works but it also transfers the anime to the tvshow section which i don't want. What do i do?

Trying to make an Apple Movie Trailers button... but I clearly don't know what I'm doing

Code:

<item id="12">

    <label>Trailers</label>

    <onclick>runScript(script://AppleMovieTrailers/)</onclick>

    <icon>special://skin/backgrounds/amt.jpg</icon>

    <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Home_Custom_Back_Scripts_Folder)]</thumb>

</item>

I guess being able to find favorites.xml (for the path) and knowing what the <thumb></thumb> was referring to may help me.

Edit: Anyone come up with a blu-ray submenu? I guess it would require your blu-ray movies to be in a separate folder from your SD movies and then you could just change a couple things in the anime script above this post.

Edit 2: Just read something in another thread about using a smart playlist rather than separate folders... might have to look into that.

ok. i have an idea.
@zosky: great work, i must say. i am having a crap time following your guide, though. very little experience and all. So, as a learning tool, can you either post a copy of your entire home.xml file, or at least email it to me? I would like to put them up side by side to compare them to find where i am going wrong...

Anyone out there: recreate the home.xml file with a few menu additions with subs already there, waiting there, ready to be renamed. put some sort of container around each menu block so its overlooked until one purposefully activates it by removing said container.

it seems like there are so many people out there just like me that are ready and willing to learn to do things on our own. we just need some help getting the ball rolling. we understand that those of you who are good at this have a life and don't always have time for our noob requests. I would like to personally thank those who have put in the work. xbmc is a great project.

I wonder if anyone can help me.
I had this working perfectly, but then I had to re-install raspbmc completely because of a bad nightly build that wouldn't allow me to access my raspbmc settings.
Now for some reason, I am not authorized to edit home.xml.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this might be?
I've been trying to figure it out for a while and I cant.
Thanks

That sounds like a raspbmc (OS) permissions issue and is not skin specific. You may have to use sudo to edit and save changes to system files.
