[QUOTE="Sambal, post: 285340, member: 66723"] If you first start MP your default control is selected, this is also the case when you exit back to the main menu. The 'menu band' shows a certain visible state depending on the state of the actual 'invisible' menu. These visible states all have animations. This way it looks like a fancy scrolling menu. The animations are triggered by a visiblechange event. However if you first start MP or if you return from your default menu this event is never triggered. On screen you see the items at the start position of the animation. Because the animation is never triggered the items don't slide into position. I don't know if you can call this a bug in MP because the visibility of the menu item didn't actually change. You can fix this in the skin XML using the following technique. I've applied it in the attached xml. I've created a third Control for the default menu item. In this case TV Series. I've added the needed controls at the bottom of the xml file so you can easily see what's going on. This control has a unique id and is now the default control. Next i've added items making up the band in 'default view' without animations. These are shown without animation in the correct position when the new default Control has focus. When navigating away from this Control the scrolling happens as before. This way everything should look good after starting MP or returning from the TVSeries menu.
