STV IMPORTS: Nielm STV Modules (Apr 20 update)

[mkanet]

Andy, I added the internal command called, "Library" to a menu. After doing so, I cannot access that item in the Menu I added it to. If I select that item, nothing happens.

The internal command, "Library" was the closest item I could find to "Library menu"

Sorry for the confusion, I wasn't thinking straight. I forgot that I have to start with the new 3.013 STV, and re-import the dynamic menu into it. I was simply using the old custom STV, which was Dynamic Menu + Comskip + 3.07 STV, which of course didn't have the new Weather and other menus.

So I made a copy of the 3.013 STV, import the DynMenu, import new Comskip Playback import (thanks to malore), added the Weather menu, and now everything is working the way it was, plus all the new bells and whistles of 3.013. Thanks for all the help to realize my stupidity.

mkanet... there is a property file setting to disable internal menus, (such as Library)... You need to set this property to false to be able to access Library/Media Center.

The disadvantage of this is that if there are any direct links from the dynamic menus to things like detailed setup, when you exit detailed setup, you will be returned to the internal setup menu instead of to the dynami main menu...

Nielm or Andy, can you please tell me which specific setting in the property file you are talking about (mentioned in below quote).

The weird thing is that I have seen the below described behavior (mentioned in below quote) when making a link to internal commands like malore's "Upcoming Movies" (I am returned to malore's custom menus and NOT the menu I was at before clicking on my custom link to "Upcoming Movies"). Yet, I still can't access the internal command called "Library".

Why do I have problems with both? From what you mentioned below, it looks like I would only have one problem.

I am confused now.

malores custom views menu is not (yet) bypassed by the property setting:

nielm/disable_internal_submenu=true

-- they will be in the to-be-released version (which may get better resolution on which menus to disable)
