Modifying myhome/basichome.xml (1 Viewer)

Hi,
I've just started fiddling with MP and have a few questions that I can't seem to find the answers to elsewhere.

I don't want TV, pictures, music, weather, etc. on the home screen.

All I want is "TV Shows", "Movies", "BBC iPlayer" (via OnlineVideos), "My Online Videos" (for all the stuff we don't use very often) and links (should open Firefox) to 4OD, Demand Five and ITV Player on the home screen.

I've figured out how to remove the stuff I don't want from basichome, but not myhome. Preferably I would like it to work in "myhome" because I like the look better.

What I would like to know is how do I add the above mentioned features and how do I link directly to iPlayer (if possible) rather than having to go through the menus?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi there and welcome

Blue3Wide BasicHome menu is the horizontal menu.
Blue3Wide Home menu is the vertical menu.

Is that the way you have it too? Because normally BasicHome is the difficult one but you said you figured it out.

Anyway, if you want to know how to change the B3W Home menu, just disable plugins you do not need. The remaining plugins you can right click and decide if it should show on Home menu or on Plugins menu.

B3W BasicHome menu involved editing the xml file.
