Added a TV Button to the current build of MC360. This let's you have both a "Movies" and "Television" Button without having to use "Library Mode". Easy install.....Just D/L...and follow the steps in the "Read Me" file. I should mention this works for 16:9 aspect ratio. May edit the XML for 4:3 sometime. We'll see.

Here is some pics.....

TV Button Mod

I guess no one wanted this one....so I'm not going to bother with editing the Xml for the 4:3 aspect.

Hey, only a newbie to tweaking skins , but I just spotted your post and have installed the mod. Much prefer your separate Movies & TV buttons to the single Videos one - just need to tidy my PC (create separate folders) then work out how to alter my settings to default to the right ones! Thanks for giving me a challenge.

make the folders on your F or G partition. edit the settings.xml ( in XBMC/Userdata) to to look for those folders by default. Glad someone liked it.

Hey FourTwentySmiles i also use it very cool mod. Can you still edit the Xml for the 4:3 aspect?

Thanks.

yeah me to bro

sure....give me a half hour or so. Glad you all like it. anyone had problems with it?

No problems here, it worked fine for me.
Just let us know when you done editing the Xml for the 4:3 aspect
and post a link to d/l again.

thanks.

Here ya go......TV Button for 4:3 Aspect ratio.

Same deal....Read the "Read Me" file.

Hey FourTwentySmiles thanks for the quick update
This mod is so cool.

thanks for this mod. i'll be trying it out tonight.

Beastmaster.....you pm'd me the other day saying that the mod no longer worked on the new build of XBMC.

There shouldn't be any problems at all.....this isn't a modification of XBMC...it's a SKIN mod.

MC360 hasn't had an update in sometime......I actually think Team Blackbolt is calling it "finished". ( Don't hold me to that though.....)

Thanks For the Great Mod FourTwentySmiles
I am having a problem with the television folders I was able to add my stuff i had on my xbox hd but how can I add stuff from my pc network share to the televison folder?


What I am trying to do is I have all my cartoons on my xbox hd But I have my tv series and Anime located on my pc hd I am wanting to add my anime and series's to the television folder via smb is there anyway this could be done?

Once the mod is installed and working properly. If you wanna add a SMB source to ,the already established, Xbox HDD source......do this.

Go to the TV source panel ( the screen with your "tv source", "video source" and "add source" buttons) highlight the tv source, press white button. go to "edit source".....and add your SMB source to the exsisting source. This tells XBMC to look at both places for media

After restart, when you click the TV button, it will show everything in both the xbox's drive and the SMB drive.

When you "set content" to build or add your library, this will scan media both xbox and SMB sources.

How many times did I just say source? LOL

Thank you very much fro the help
I am slapping myself for not figuring this out But I am still a newbie when it comes to xbmc
AGAIN Thanks for the Great mod!!!

Hey FourTwentySmiles did your test your mod with the latest build of the MC360 skin?
Maybe i installed wrong with the other version i was using. I have not yet updated to the newest builds of
XBMC - T3CH XBMC 2008-05-18 SVN rev13120-REPACK or
MC360 Skin - MC360_Rev1321-20May2008.rar

haven't had time to check it with MC360 Skin - MC360_Rev1321-20May2008.rar......will try to get to it saturday (only day I have this entire month) LOL

Since its only a skin mod, it SHOULD work with new build of XBMC.....but I WILL check the new version of MC360

To let everyone know........The TV Button Mod works with MC360_Rev1398-2008-05-26......use the same download links from the first post. Just installed and tested it 5 minutes ago.

Thanks FourTwentySmiles i'm glad it works, i now can update to the newest builds of MC360 skin and XBMC.

"One is glad to be of service"

I just saw this topic. Thanks for the mods!
