Change name of TV serie button
#1
At this moment I use Confluense.
But due to the fact that I need to have a new Home button named "kids movies" I wonder if Transparacy can give me the change to do the next thing:

Change the name of the TV SERIES button to KIDS MOVIES.
And then point this button to the folder where all the movies are for the kids?

If this is possible,how do I change the name of the buttonHuh

Again, create a kidsmovies playlist and change the onclick function from movies from titles to activatewindow kidsmoviesplaylist.
Or create an extra button.

If you don't want to mod. The skin use MiniMeedia Waffa! And add via skinsettings kidsmovies to submenu movies.

It would be still kids friendly because you can also set a thumb.
I added those thumbs for my kids because they can't read yet and I like to use multiimage.
They look to the thumbs and know were they are, they really love it !

sure, that shouldn't be too hard.

all you need to do is change some code in Include_Home.xml.

find this string (2x): <label>20343</label>
and change it to <label>KIDS MOVIES</label>

next find this (2x):
Code:
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,tvshowtitles,return)</onclick>
and change it to:
Code:
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VideoFiles,[i][b]NAME_OF_SOURCE[/b][/i])</onclick>
'NAME_OF_SOURCE' should be the source name you assigned to your 'kids movies' folder in xbmc.

Thanks


About NAME of SOURCE you mean the name of the folder where the movies are??
And do I need to mention also the pad to this foder?
or can I just add the source the normal way?

nope you don't need to know the path.

when you add a folder to xbmc, it asks you to give it a "source" name (by default it is the same as the folder name),
that's the name you need to specify in the skin.

Note : using videofiles source means filemode.
With playlist it would be library mode.

OK, so first I need to add the source (which is on my server, I stream all my movies) and then I need to add this pad into Includes_Home.xmlHuh

And I just took a look and instead 0f 2 times I have 4 times string you mentioned:

- <item id="3">
<label>20343</label>
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,tvshowtitles,return)</onclick>
<icon>special://skin/images/backgrounds/tvshows.jpg</icon>
<thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Home_Custom_Back_TVShows_Folder)]</thumb>
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(TVShowsInHome) + Library.HasContent(TVShows) + !Skin.HasSetting(Home_TVShows_Fanart_Background)</visible>
</item>
- <item id="3">
<label>20343</label>
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VideoFiles)</onclick>
<icon>special://skin/images/backgrounds/tvshows.jpg</icon>
<thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Home_Custom_Back_TVShows_Folder)]</thumb>
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(TVShowsInHome) + !Library.HasContent(TVShows) + !Skin.HasSetting(Home_TVShows_Fanart_Background)</visible>
</item>
- <item id="3">
<label>20343</label>

not the path, but the name of the source. :-)
let's say you add smb://server/videos/kids to xbmc, you'll will have to give it a name.

so if you name this source KIDS MOVIES, you need to use this in the skin:
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VideoFiles,KIDS MOVIES)</onclick>
