You can use the ActivateWindow() Built In Function to open a certain Window.

This command can be assigned to a button in a skin or mapped to a key in your Keymap.

Example:

  • This will take you directly to the settings section/window of xbmc:
ActivateWindow(Settings)


Some windows allow you to jump directly to a sub-section of that window. To do this, you can use either the sub-section's name or its path.

Example:

  • If you want a button in your skin or on your remote to take you directly to the movie listing, you let that button do:
ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles)

or

ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://movies/titles/)


Below is a list of the available sub-sections in the Videos, Music, and Programs sections/windows.
