Add a submenu to Add-ons with Video, Music, Picture and Program addons #9

Closed pzydog closed 11 years ago

Right now I have to go to either Movies or TV Shows, press down and go to the end of the submenu to access the video add-ons. I think that's unnecessarily complicated especially since there's already an add-ons button where all the possible add-on nodes could be placed.

When you bring the Movies or TV Shows submenu you don't have to go all the way down for the Video Addons. The submenu works with UP & DOWN. Just press UP and the Video Addons (for that reason is the last option) is there. Nevertheless i understand your request. The problem is that a submenu there it will have only three entry's and it doesn't look good. The best solution for your request is to add the Video Addons to your favorites and then as custom button to the Home Menu.

Thanks for the feedback

Cheers Nessus

We actually have four entries (Videos, Music, Pictures and Programs). I just quickly edited the home.xml to find out what it would look like: screenshot009

The only drawback is that in this case "Videos" is shown twice.

I had the addon menu implemented and i've removed during the development. But the entry's in that menu where directing to the different categories of the Addon Browser (Availble Updates, Program Add-ons, Video Add-ons etc) not to the executable addons. I have done the same in my Xperience More skin.... https://b14huq.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pzPSgS7D-tg5EHeOay3z5BhBlsK3YvBBALCIPkvYWzGIPsoe1vRd6plnVNDg-8MTnC11C7hqncFqtt_MgiVBWLSDSCioiHlnu/screenshot09.jpg?psid=1.

What you want is different. In your screen where the "Add-ons" buton leads ?. If it leads to the addon browser it will be a little confusing when the button directs you to the addon browser and the menu entry's to the executable addons. I don't know. I have to think about it. I any case if you want send me your code and i will see if is possible to fix it with only four options for your personal use.

I've commented the fix in your code

Thanks! But since this won't be included in your branch I'll probably just add a couple of custom buttons to my most used add-ons. This should fill out the space and give me quicker access to the stuff I want.
