Hi all,
I've recently upgraded from an original XBOX to a HTPC and have been using XBMC as my media centre for a number of years.

I have implemented the library system for my videos and have searched for an answer to my problem (which is not a problem per se). I would like when I select either Movies or TV Shows to go straight to the list of indexed programs/films, instead of through the genres selection, as I never use this feature.

Does anybody know is this is possible?

Thanks for any assistance.

Just check the "Flatten" Option and you are done.

It is possible but I think it's skin specific. I use Horizonz and when I choose movies it takes me straight to the movies and I have to hit the back button to get to the genre menus.

Edit: And never mind. Flatten baby, flatten

Genre menus? You mean the different sections like music, video .. or the video databes genre nodes? If its not working for you using Horizon its most likely a skin issue.

EDIT; hehe, you are welcome :)
