Problem with Kodi Homepage

[Dario71]

Hi all.
I need to change my KODI home page. I'd like to set movie list as my home page. The only thing I can do is to set Movie menu as Home page. I have attached an image of what I need.
Many thanks.

Hi, You can take a look at this tutorial to see if it helps you out.

Thanks, Angela.
But I don't need to change my background! I have to change home page...

So you mean for those three movies to appear on your main screen in kodi?

yes, it's correct. is it possible?

 

[thegazsheard]

What skin have you got?

Also are these from an external HDD or favourited from an addon?

 

[Dario71]

The skin is Confluence. The movies are on an external HD.

 

[thegazsheard]

Just to specify, create a movies section on the home screen linked to your HDD, or just those three movies in particular.

I found this entry
<onfocus>ReplaceWindow($INFO[System.StartupWindow])</onfocus>
in file startup.xml.
I think StartupWindow can be substitute by another window, but I don't find any information. Is there a programming guide of KODI? Someone can help me?

 

[thegazsheard]

Yeah, leave that file alone... As I asked above. What is it exactly that you need? External movies menu? Or a favourite link?

I want as Home page the page that appear when I click on tab Movie of main menu...

 

[thegazsheard]

Sorry for more questions...

So when kodi starts, it goes straight into what movies you have on your HDD?

Ignore that, give me five minutes...

 

[thegazsheard]

As the skin is confluence:

On the kodi main screen scroll to videos, on the lower menu select files, in the new list locate your HDD, highlight the location of your movies, mine are stored in a folder called movies, if yours is just the hdd highlight that, bring up the context menu, and select set content, you will have a new menu askising to select the content type, movies, TV shows or music videos, select movies and then press okay in the option.

Give it a minute or so to scan, after that a new section on the home screen saying movies will be available, showing your movies.

Hi, Try going into your settings then apps find kodi, and click force stop then clear cache, also in settings take a look at your storage you may have to delete a app or two that you don't use.
