Hi, the same happened to me now, I thought I was going crazy, lucky for me I found this post.

The values:
<entry name="startWindow">25</entry>
<entry name="startview">135</entry>

get me to Videos\Genres

If I want to enter Videos as I used to be I need "startWindow" to be 6.

Is there some kind of "Master" MediaPortal.xml to download so I can compare and check for errors?

Thanks.

    Hi alltheway

    No, no master MediaPortal.xml. You can check the startWindow value against the window IDs in the wiki -->here<-- though if you want.

    Thanks, looks good, maybe I'll read some more for minimal knowledge.

    One question please, in case of chaos, is there anything I can do to reset MePo to some initial values, reinstalling over doesn't do it, and I was afraid of uninstall and reinstall because of the Movies ans Tv series plugins. took me a very long time to arrange the media data.

    Thanks.

    Yes, it's a known bug and can be easily created like (do not try it :) ):

    1. Go to My videos and switch to any database view (genre, years, title..)
    2. Press Home
    4. Go to music to any database view (ie. Albums)
    5. Press back, back you will end up in Actors view
    6. Go back
    7. Try to enter My Videos -> you will end in Music database view

    After that MyVideos is not accessible anymore. Only cure is to delete some entries in MP Configuration.xml (already explained here)

    Mantised as:
    0003672: Back function in some cases produce corrupted VideoInfo screen, also can lead to unusable My VIdeos plugin - MediaPortal Bugtracker

    +1 confirmed and patch solve the issue :)

    Hi
    There was a similar problem. I tried to replace the line, as
    indicated in this topic at:
    <entry name="startWindow "> 25 </ entry>
    <entry name="startview "> 135 </ entry>
    At the same time I started getting a blank myVideo. Looked
    for in a backup and found that before I had the following
    values:
    In this block change the entrys to this ones:
    <entry name="startWindow "> 6 </ entry>
    <entry name="startview "> 369 </ entry>
    After setting these values it​​ worked.

    I use the Russian localization of Windows and Mediaportal.
    The values of​​ these parameters depend on the location?
    If not, why I did not work with these parameter values here​​?
