    Hi guys,

    I am hoping someone can help me :)

    I am running MePo 1.8 (but I had the issue with 1.7), with the Titan skin.

    I'll be clear from the start - I know nothing about skinning! :O

    I am trying to change the normal action of Pictures, Music and Videoes and TV shows to launch a specific screen in a third party plugin (Mediabrowser).

    I have part of this working - in that I have edited the titan.xml file to specify the ID of the plugin:

    <section name="TitanBasicHome">
    <entry name="menuItemName0">TV</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemIcon0">TV</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemHyperlink0">1</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemName1">TV Series</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemIcon1">Videos</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemHyperlink1">20130603</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemName2">Movies</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemIcon2">Movies</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemHyperlink2">20130603</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemName3">Pictures</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemIcon3">Pictures</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemHyperlink3">20130603</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemName4">OnlineVideos</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemIcon4">OnlineVideos</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemHyperlink4">4755</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemName5">Music</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemIcon5">Music</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemHyperlink5">20130603</entry>

    The part which is not working is getting it to jump to a specific view within the plugin. According to the Dev (Apondman), you should use:

    <hyperlinkParameter>{Type:"View", Id:"root-movies"}</hyperlinkParameter>

    Link to the wiki is here: https://github.com/apondman/MediaBrowser/wiki/Skin-Parameters

    I have tried various different syntaxes, but nothing works. Could someone please give me the correct syntax and an example using the above extract. People have said this works in other skins, I just cant get it working in Titan :(

    Many thanks,

    J.

    Hi Jay,

    It should go something like this:

    <entry name="menuItemName2">Movies</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemIcon2">Movies</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemHyperlink2">20130603</entry>
    <entry name="menuItemParameter2">{Type:"View", Id:"movies-all"}</entry>

    Not had time to test this and I don't use Titan extended but this looks like the right format. I'll have a deeper look if your still having problems.

    Ok I did some testing with Titan extended and it looks like it doesn't pass hyperlink parameters properly for any plugins.

    Seems to be a bug with Titan rather then Media Browser.

    @Wo0zy care to let us know what is outdated?

    @Jay_UK I'm using 1.7 here at the moment and I found a way to make this work but only with sub-menus.

    <section name="TitanBasicHomeSubmenu0">
    <entry name="submenuItemName0">All Movies</entry>
    <entry name="submenuItemHyperlink0">20130603</entry>
    <entry name="submenuItemParameter0">{Type:"View", Id:"movies-all"}</entry>
    </section>

    Hi there,

    It's the conclusion that I've come to - It doesn't work in Titan :(

    I am trying to avoid submenus - I have the buttons on the home screen (TV Shows, Movies, Pictures, Music), so I'd like to use them to jump directly to the MB3 screen (but good find on submenu) ;)

    I don't think Titan Extended is being developed any further though there is supposed to be something to replace it.

    There's a forum thread about that somewhere, maybe an internal one.

    edit: Titan Extended is not going to be offered as part of the main MP package but developed separately like other skins and plugins.

    Hi again :)

    Isn't this Titan (as it's the home page) and not TE (which is plugin specific pages)?
