Change default "view" from shares to defined view? (1 Viewer)

[timofcourse]

Is there anyway to change My Music to load one of my views by default (i.e. Artists) vs loading the Shares "view" as it does by default now?

Thanks!

Hi. For me it opens the last view I was in...

Did you have to change a setting to enable that behavior? I always use Artist view and every time I go back into My Music, it always defaults to Shares.

Thanks.

No, I never changed anything. Hmm, this info is written to the Installed dir in the MediaPortal.xml (I think, just the result of a quick scan.) I have an entry called <entry name="startview">133</entry>
which I think is the starting view (it is in the section <section name="music">). Maybe try that (the 133 is a localized string for the view you want to use. 133 is Artist, so it should be OK for you).

Change the view, take a look at the playlist and go back to music. It opens the default view, not the last.

indeed also when switching to plugins and back like my lyrics, very annoying

I would also like music to start in "Artists" instead of "Shares". I don't want "as last viewed", I want the "root" view of the "Artists" list. how can I get this?

P.S.
Actually, right now I would prefer to start in the root of "Shares", but since SVN 16263, it starts in last view, even when I have deselected all save and resume options in Music (see attached).
What I would really like is an option to specify which view to start in, if the save & resume options are disabled.
