    VU+ Kodi (Main Menu)

    Hi Guys,
    Is there anyway to add the Kodi Launcher for the VU+ boxes to the main menu on the Vix Image instead of going to plugins?
    ive tried changing the plugin.py to this

    def Plugins(**kwargs):
    l = []
    l.append(PluginDescriptor(where=PluginDescriptor.W HERE_SESSIONSTART, fnc=session_start_main))
    l.append(PluginDescriptor(name=_("Kodi Launcher"), description=_("start kodi(formerly known as XBMC) mediacenter"), where=PluginDescriptor.WHERE_PLUGINMENU, fnc=plugin_start_xbmc))
    return l

    to

    def Plugins(**kwargs):
    l = []
    l.append(PluginDescriptor(where=PluginDescriptor.W HERE_SESSIONSTART, fnc=session_start_main))
    l.append(PluginDescriptor(name=_("Kodi"), description=_("start Kodi"), where=PluginDescriptor.WHERE_MENU, fnc=plugin_start_xbmc))
    return l

    but it just crashes my box when loading up the main menu, can someone help with the edit or point me in the right direction.

    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    I put Kodi on long PVR with button setup which is much faster.

    Hi Andy,
    why not. I am not sure which button it is on the original remote. I called it PVR because so it is labeled on my Harmony. It is the button which normally opens the recordings. You configure long Recordings in button setup with Kodi Launcher Plugin. I use this button because recording list and Kodi have similar meanings and I can easily remember.

    The way I understand it is this, VU+ are the ones that would need to add the permission for it to be on the main menu page or on the blue button, other people could add this option but won't because they don't want to mess with it in case it causes other problems, best just to keep the plug in exactly how VU+ publish it... Don't forget there are a lot of hacks and patches gone onto making that work.

    a patch could be made to patch the plugin.py to allow main menu access.
