I'd like to remove the hidden menu from the basic home screen so the kids don't accidentally shut down my mediabox (it lives in the ceiling and I need a ladder to turn it back on)

I've tried removing it from the code but it seems to stop the menu from scrolling up and down. I can't even remove just the shut down item from the menu.

Any ideas/help?

    Hi,
    The easiest way would be to remove the "action" code from BasicHome.exitmenu.xml which would render the buttons useless (still visible though).
    Attached the XML if you want.

    Thanks, I've made those changes for now. I'll keep trying to remove it though as it will keep bugging me. Does anyone have any idea why removal of any of these controls causes the main menu to fail?

    Because BasicHome is using a script to keep track of where the focus of the user is. This is how main-menu, sub-items, recently added media etc. knows which controls to show and witch to hide.

    If you take out something in that equation, things doesn't add up :)

    Ahhh, I suspected something along those lines.

    Well, at least the kids can't turn it off now. Thanks for the info.
