How can I make the "Movies" window the default upon startup?

Any solutions for Eden yet?

Just open your home.xml and paste the <onload> under the default control...then it should look like this:

Code:

<window id="0">

    <defaultcontrol always="true">9000</defaultcontrol>

    <onload condition="Window.Previous(startup)">ActivateWindow(Videos,Movietitles, return)</onload

I have the same problem.
Two installs, one opens on movies node in homescreen. The other opens on settings node in homescreen.

What you are talking about is a bit different...
You see different poinst focused on startup...
This is due to the order in your home.xml, as always the activated control in the middle is highlighted...
Therefor you need another approach...

You need to modify your home.xml like this:

Code:

<window id="0">

    <defaultcontrol always="true">9000</defaultcontrol>

    <onload condition="Window.Previous(startup)">Control.Move(9000,"here the int count you want to shift e.g. 2)</onload>

And make sure you edit the default control appropriately

Hi Mad,

can you please help me I´m crazy with this...

I have Eden last version with mq3 on it and when I start xbmc I see always the Pictures Tab instead of Movie´s...

I tried almost everything with no luck

my home.xml...

Code:

Code:

window id="0">

    <defaultcontrol always="true">4056</defaultcontrol>

    <allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>

    <onload>Skin.Reset(trailers)</onload>

    <onload>Skin.Reset(gametrailers)</onload>

    <onload>Skin.Reset(addonmode)</onload>

    <onload>Skin.Reset(moviesets)</onload>

    <onload condition="system.hasaddon(script.artistslideshow) + !Skin.HasSetting(novisartistslideshow)">RunScript(script.artistslideshow)</onload>

    <controls>

Many Thanks !!!!
cheers

Ok, got it!!!

on Eden with mq3 skin just change home.xml from this:

Code:

window id="0">

    <defaultcontrol always="true">4056</defaultcontrol>

    <allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>

to this:

Code:

window id="0">

    <defaultcontrol always="true">4056</defaultcontrol>

    <onload condition="Window.Previous(startup)">Control.Move(300,-1)</onload>

    <allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>

As Mad-Max said for me I land on movies with that "-1" option... but for other cases you must try other number to land where you want

thanks to Mad-Max Wink

cheers
