    Yes. The "how" depends on the skin you use.

    EDIT: Eh .... wait ... did I just misunderstand what you were asking for? Do you mean 1) A "shortcut" to MovPic (making it accessible via basic home), or 2) Make MovPic you "home" screen (or similar).

    As far as I know there is no official way to add Moving Pictures to Blue3Wide Basic Home and a search of the Blue3 subforum yielded no result. So to do this will probably require you to manually modify the XML files yourself. You may want to ask over on the Blue3 subforum though, it seems to me that someone else out there has probably already done this and they may be willing to share their results.

    Hi. If you are fine with swapping "My videos" for MovingPictures, I can do that for you (edit basic home XML, that is :p).

    EDIT: I did it just in case. Replace the XML below with the one found in B3wide folder (go Start ->-> MediaPortal -> User files

    You can also use "MultiShortcut", which is how I got Hulu Desktop to be inside the Home screen. Search the forum on MultiShortcut and you will find the DLL file to download and instructions on how to use it, but Spragleknas skin ID fix is probably a lot easier for you to use.

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...
