Wow

- CD Ripping
- Kai support
- Net TV
- TiVo Streaming

But still no "MyGames" tab

I "know" This is "Xbox Media Center" and not just any old dashboard but this is the only thing missing from what would make an amazing dashboard replacement and not just an app I boot to watch movies  

I know you can mod your MyPrograms tab to make something like a MyGames tab, for example you can just point it to the games shortcut folder. I have done this in the past but it just wasnt "right" - know what I mean?

Also, I would like MyPrograms to take me to My Programs, like DVD2 XBox and LinksBox ect. Not my games.

Anyway, if it never happens it wont be the end of the world but at least I asked

Does anyone else agree?? Or am I about to get flamed

Just use the default tag..

QUOTE

<myprograms>     <default>F:\Games</default>

So when you press my programs you are taken to the games dir directly...

But i see your point, but i peronally do not think it is a very needed feature.

But who knows, maybe in the future....

[mkjones]

Yes glad you see my point

I would like MyPrograms AND MyGames

Ya know so MyGames just brings back a list from F:\Games etc.. Like Ava would with the Icon etc, lookin all nice and Media savvy  

I guess Il wait and see, seems a shame thats all

What file do you need to edit to set up those tabs? Can you just point them to a specfic folder? And will the scan button automatically separate them?

You can edit them in the Skin XML

But its NOT the same

I just want GAMES and APPS seperate, as IMO they are not the same thing...

Ahh well, I had to ask

[Trevante]

Do you have a G drive on your HDD? if not, you can replace

CODE

G drive      G:\      1

With

CODE

My Games      F:\games\      3

in the xboxmediacenter.xml

I haven't tried this myself, although in theory, it should work.

You'll still have to go to the my programs tab for it to work, but it's probably the closest you're gonna get without chaning the skin and other stuff.

I totally agree with you.  They should add My Games to the main screen, as Games and Applications are totally different.  And to clarify, as some people are thinking you are talking about adding links within the My Programs tab.  

He is wanting to have these tabs on the main screen (when you first run XBMC)

My Programs
My Games
My Music
My Pictures
etc.....

I am going to see if i can have them add that tab !!!!  It would be sweet !!!!

Thanks for the tip  

[JayDee]

Get a new version of xbmc

Thanks for the fix guys! I never understood how to use that part of the settings files. I think this is the best way to do what you guys are looking for! What's the difference? Do you not have to go to "all programs" in XP to get to everything? I would actually rather like to see some kind of automatic add thing like evolution-x has so I don't have to hit the scan button whenever I add something! BTW sorry XP hater people it was the best thing I could think of

What are you talking about man??

Still aint got round to pressing the white button, but I did try the G Drive thing with the older build, sadly this isnt really a MyGames tab at all

[mkjones]

And Kai support is just jaw dropping  

Il see how long I can last before the my programs tab annoys the hell outta me    I dont care how many Mbs my games are    grr..
