First of all, I love this skin!

One question though, is it possible to launch an App from home? You can add favourites and playlists, but how to manage with an external application? I my case, I want to launch DVBViewer for Live-TV.

Thanks for the support!

Yes you can but not through Night, you would have to open up Home.xml and change some lines. This thread explained launching a external application, I've seen more threads but that was just a quick search...


This is the code for custom favorite One, starts line 198:

<item id="15">
<description>Custom Movie One</description>
<label>$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Custom1_Label)]</label>
<icon>special://skin/media/backgrounds/custom.jpg</icon>
<thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Custom1_Folder)]</thumb>
<onclick>$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Custom1_Path)]</onclick>
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(Menu_Custom1)</visible>
</item>

You could fill out the info and backdrops thru Night's gui but you'll have to manually change <onclick>$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Custom1_Path)]</onclick> to the correct path to open up an application. I've never created a path to an external app so you'll have to research the correct way to launch it...
