Re: Customising the VMC Start Menu

Finally!!!!

vid_on_tv_menu.jpg TV Movies Strip.jpg

How it was done...

1. Opened the SM.PICTURES.XML file and copied the line for SM.Videos.Library.
2. Opened the SM.TV.XML and then pasted the SM.Videos.Library line from SM.PICTURES.XML
3. Commented out a few unrequired buttons
4. Changed priority of buttons and order to suit

Here's the code for my TV & Movies strip now.. hope this displays properly...

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<uidescription platform="Television" xmlns:home="http://schemas.microsoft.com/MediaCenter/ehshell/MediaCenter.Home">
<home:App AppId="[TV]" Title="#SM.TV.Title">

<!-- <home:PackageMarkupQuickLink ResourceProviderId="Spotlight" TitleId="2011" ImageBaseName="StartMenu.QuickLink.MoreTV" TargetPageId="2012" TrackingId="-201" ViewTemplate="QuickLinkView" AppId="[TV]" EntryPointId="[TVMorePartnersEP]" Priority="99"/> -->

</home:App>

I've noticed one problem and that is when you exit (back out) of Video Library it takes you to the Pictures + Movies strip. I tried changing the AppId="[Pictures]" for the SM.Videos.Library line to AppId="[TV]" like all the other lines but the Video Library button completely stopped working.
