Greetings everyone, i was curious to see if anyone can tell me how to edit my config.xml to create a XBMC tab that will run the program directly from the Dashboard like in this video -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMMWXsp4eoI&NR=1

I've tried

<Item Action="F/Applications/XBMC/default.xbe"
Didn't work

<List Text="XBMC" Sort="On" Auto="On" Icon="f:\Emulators\XBMB.png" AltIcon="">
Just makes a folder called XBMC

Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks.

mine shows up as fifth item on screen. its about 2 thirds the way down on my config. this line:-

<Item Action="F:\apps\XBMC\default.xbe">Xbox Media Centre</Item>

but you need a few lines before. with the list command etc, thats why i posted my whole config.

It worked! thank you very much

can any one give me some code or other way to edit.. i hope you will help me... muhaha.gif on my mind

Use Notepad++ as your editor, because it indents the menu (config.xml) so that you can clearly see the structure. Take your existing config.xml, or the one from the previous post, and have a look at it - the structure is really simple. Start at the <Menu> line, everything between that and </Menu> controls what you see on the screen. All of the sections start with <xxxx> and end with a matched </xxxx>, and there are only really three elements to a menu - List, Path, and Item Action. With a couple of minutes of inspection of existing menus it will become really clear. This post will also help.

Have a look at this post for an indented menu, where you can see the nested structure more clearly.

I'm fairly certain that you can't have a menu item for individual movies as you are suggesting - you need to launch XBMC, then use the library manager in XBMC to organise your movies and TV shows.
