Movies opening directly to a genre #161

I was wondering if it could be possible to have the movies selection automatically going to a specifi genre?

In my case, I have 2 Boxee Box. The one in the basement is used by the kids. And I would like that when the select Movies, the FAMILY ones show up by default.

I also would approve of this one. In my case, the KIDS playroom Boxee ONLY has Family movies scanned in. But its the other Boxees which I would like to set the default to Family, so that it automatically filters out.

If this could be done for TV genres to, then it would make Thomas the tank engine and Rory the racing car so much easier to find ;-)

I've done some experimenting, and it seems that it is possible to make the Movies option directly go to a particular genre by changing the onclick event to: ActivateWindow(10481,boxeeui://movies/?category=local&genre=GENRE) The genre needs to be in uppercase (e.g. FAMILY) for it to work. What would be needed is a way to choose the default genre and to include the ?category=local&genre=GENRE part if a default genre has been chosen.
