[QUOTE="armandp, post: 1033970, member: 71896"] to answer your question i only have a details and main window (and soon a dashboard window). But if want to do something like this you can listen to the skin properties being set. You can do this with any of the zillion properties MediaBrowser sets during browsing or details view. Below an example if you would listen for the details.path property (which means someone is viewing details of an item and could press play) Hook up an event listener to the property manager: [code] GUIPropertyManager.OnPropertyChanged += GUIPropertyManager_OnPropertyChanged; [/code] Handle the event [code] static void GUIPropertyManager_OnPropertyChanged(string tag, string tagValue) { // if we are not looking for this tag return if(tag!="#MediaBrowser.Details.Path") return; // do something with the value string path = value // spin up disk logic based on folder in path } [/code] i'm doing the same for debug logging all the mediabrowser properties (i use the threadpool in the listener though to not block the UI. Example can be found in the MediaBrowserPlugin.cs on github. You can listen for MediaBrowser.Current.Id that will hold either a guid or some human readable identifier of the view you are in. The code would best fit in a small process plugin. [/QUOTE]
