SubMenu - A main menu replacement supporting sub menus

[pBS]

yea, with mouse, no top back menu and no 'main menu' selection in mouse right click menu while in menus...[only in plugins]
so no way to get back with mouse..

[johnsonx42]

[back] menu item should be optional though, maybe just specify it is a special menu item at each level. I would certainly not want it.

Ok, the next release will allow you to add a "Back" menu item, eg:

Code:

<MenuItem enabled="true" displayName="Back">Back</MenuItem>

a nice little side effect, without the addition to global.xml, you still get a nice usable submenu called "submenu" off the main menu with the plugin's menu item settings..
seems like it's a way to get original main menu plus submenus, and still be able to edit main menu order from config gui..

Pointless as it is, you can also do the reverse; if you include a item with the name "Aeon", then you'll get a button taking you back to the original menu structure.

my back button isn't working...it's there but doesn't do anything..
it does work going back to built-in menu rm SubMenu plugin..but doesn't do anything inside plugin's menu structure..
[you see the bar flash like it's trying to]

That's because I haven't released the version that includes support for Back buttons yet, I was only stating that the next release would include it. I'll try to get it out today though.

Edit: It's there now.

oops, didn't mean to jump the gun there...
much thanx for working on it..
not all the bases are covered with mouse only operation yet..[like how to stop video with a mouse only]
but in time i'm sure it'll get there...
i'm almost ready to convert over..[tho i hate to see all my video library utils go out the window]

[pBS]

thanx again, back button working fine...
Npvr really starting to come together now...custom menu items,skins,system,and submenus...now i just wonder if vid lib conversions will make it back..

i was wondering about main menu panels...would this be something that has to be in your plugin? or a separate plugin?
[like old tvlistings,now/next/rec on main menu bottom]

I'm afraid I've never used TVListings, so I don't know what you mean. Is it something like the little "now playing" box you get with music? (which still works with my plugin, so it must be overlaid on top of the menu, because I've done nothing explicit to support it).

Really like your 'subnmenus' plugin - kudos!

The high visibility issue is a big deal in our household -- so I would just would like to put a plug in for getting it to support the high visibility plugin 'BlueRetroVE+' for nPVR. I guess it's the 'vertical' menu layout thingy.

Anyway, great plugin
