[QUOTE="DalaNorth, post: 101368, member: 27872"] [b]I want that too![/b] Yes, very good idea. I looked into it a bit, and displaying the selection dialog from the "My Movies" section is really a piece of cake. Doing it from the Home or My Plugins is more difficult and requires a special case handling of this particular menu item, which is not recommended... Default menu action is to immediately show the window associated with the selected menu item. A not so nice (graphically, but very simple and nicer programatically) solution is that the selection dialog is full screen for this particular scenario or that the dialog is displayed on a black background. Take a look at the screenshots to see the difference. (Sorry it's in swedish, but I hope you get the idea).

Are either of the latter two solutions acceptable or should the developers perform the infamous "ugly hack" to handle the special "Play DVD" case? [/QUOTE]
