[MOD] Custom Home Items the easy way

sparafucile17 Wrote:Someone please post their favourites.xml so that people like myslef can duplicate it on our PC if it is missing.

Have you added a favourite ?? As on my PC (Pre Eden) favourites.xml is created after you actually add a favourite.

Hmmm... nope. Definitely did not do that. In all my reading, I never came across this topic. At the risk of sounding completely dumb... How do you add a favourite? I can't say that I ever saw this in any of the System menus in confluence.

Thanks,
Jeff

Easy - In your content Listing (Videos, Music, Photos etc) Move the selector to highlight the item you want as a favourite. Press C on the keyboard & from the popup menu Choose Add to Favouites.

OMG... that was it! Once again I have been dupped by the secret keyboard commands in XBMC. Thanks for sticking with me and understanding why this mod was not working. Everything is working just great now.

Whew!

I have been fighting with this one for hours and I found the solution.

In fact, I had an installation of HOMEMOD using a favourites script installation in my folders, and this previous install was used instead of the new script install 1.0.6.

The HOMEMOD was using this path to find the favourites and display them
C:\Program Files\XBMC\addons\skin.confluence\scripts\script.favourites
This path is easy to see when editing the file custom_DialogFavourites.xml of the HOMEMOD.
Just copy your script.favourites in the location, in my case I was ok with
C:\Program Files\XBMC\addons\skin.confluence\scripts

Check finally that in the C:\Program Files\XBMC\addons\skin.confluence\scripts\script.favourites\default.py, you are pointing to the correct favourites file, should be 'C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/XBMC/userdata/favourites.xml' under Windows 7.
Why should be this file? Because the last script.favourites-1.0.6 is using this file.

Hope it helps others.

Different way of going about it, but yes you can get favourites onto your home screen on Eden
