How do I add program addons to the home screen?

ah ok!

answered this question myself Smile

the home menu is in 720p/Includes_Home_Horizontal.xml

took a look at the "videos" section.... and copied the below to line 504 and restarted XBMC

Code:

<item id="8">

        <label>$LOCALIZE[31272]</label>

        <onclick>ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,Plugins)</onclick>

</item>

its easy when you know how... but how do you know if there is no-one to tell you Smile

hey guys.

i gotta say, this skin is awesome.

One thing though i need help. I really need to add new menu called trailers that will launch Apple Trailers when clicked.

how do i do that? i read in a previous post that i have to write some xml. Can you guide me to a source so can manage to do this?

thanks in advance

No xml required. Add Apple Trailers to your favorites and then you can add that favorite to the menu via Settings > Skin > Custom Home.

hello,

well i added Apple Movie Trailers to the favorites, and using Custom Home i tried to set the favorite but i cant. It opens app the favorite list, and shows Apple Movie Trailers, but no matter how many times i try to select it i cant. the only thing i am allowed to do is close the window.

any suggestions?

I just tried this -- just select the favorite (Apple Movie Trailers) and press Enter.

rossoneri711 · 2011-04-28 18:31

well i tried again nothing.

got it working though when i added another favorite on the list, and then scrolled and up again i was able to select it Smile

dont know why, but anyway now its perfect Smile

thanks
