    Hello,
    Is there a way to extend the menu in the basic home?
    I'd like to have a play disk item within the video menu

    It's a pity, I too would be very happy if there is an Basic-Home-editor for the default skin, because i find the skin really great.
    It would be enough, if the editor is able to configure the menus- and submenus-Links.
    Is an editor planned for the future?

    Hi.

    Just changing the hyperlinks and the labels is no big deal. Should be possible to nearly everyone with a little PC knowledge. Wiki is a good way to start. Grab yourself Notepad and a copy!!!!!! of basichome.xml and there you go.

    Hello,
    I tried to edit the menus- and submenus-Links. But without success. There are some places where I may edit. But I don't know, which of them I may edit. Also are there methods, which I don't know.
    Is there an manual or a tutorial, how I can edit a basic-home-menu.
    Ciao

In past versions of MP, like 2.4x, I could press the More Info button on my remote twice, and on the second press, an option for showing/choosing the subtitles was listed. I'd select the...

    It is present, but not with that name. It is called Scheduler, viz: Interesting. I had never noticed that when the "command" is "ACTION", the "cmdproperty" is the actual window id, but it makes sense that it is. Try this for yourself. First backup your working profile for the remote, then in the "Mapping" panel make a change to...
