Custom menus - MP right product? (1 Viewer)

[OttoMan28]

Greetings all,

Before I spend a huge amount of time looking into MP, perhaps some of you can give me a hint what ever MP is the right product for me to choose.

I need to create a very simple and cut down version of a media center, All I need at the front is 3 large buttons: “Music”, “Movies” and “Photos”

Then when you pick e.g. Music, you should have listed the artists “Artist1”, “Artist2” and so on, when you pick e.g. “Artist” then rather than opening the folder of Artist2, it should right away begin to play whatever there is stored under Artist2.
I need a similar function for Photos and Movies.

In sort you can say I need to remove the lowest layer in the menu structure as I try to create a “Jukebox” type of media center, too be used for very young ones.

Thanks
OM

Yes you can easily do that.
Look at blue or blue wide default skin, in simplified visualization you will see exactly what you are asking for.
My Music - My Video - My Photo (My TV can be disabilited as other launcher e.g. My weather)

If you are planning to only use MediaPortal for viewing Media files (i.e. Video, Pictures, Music), then this is the guide to follow. This guide will not install any of the TV functionality available within MediaPortal
