Remove Categories widget and default to Titles on TV Shows/Movies

[oliroe]

Bug report

Describe the bug

Here is a clear and concise description of what the problem is:

Currently (19.4) when you remove the Categories widget selecting TV Shows or Movies from the main menu takes you to Categories (Genres, Titles, Years etc). It's not possible to go straight to Titles

Expected Behavior

Here is a clear and concise description of what was expected to happen:

I would expect to be able to remove both the Categories widget and not then have to select the category when selecting TV Shows/Movies. Either that or have the option of selecting a default and bypass the selection screen

Actual Behavior

Selecting TV SHows/Movies when the Category widget is disabled requires you to then select a category

Possible Fix

Give the ability to default a category

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Disable Category Widget
2. Select TV Shows or Movies

This is not a bug. That´s by design.

If we are going to change that, others will complain that there´s no way to reach the categories instead of going to the movie listing and then use the .. to get one level up.

If you then also disable the "Show parent folder items" setting, then you don´t have the option to reach the categories anymore.

In case you want to customize the skin yourself as you might feel this is somewhat wrong (which is ok ;) ), please have a look at this section:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/addons/skin.estuary/xml/Home.xml#L907-L908

You can either modify line 907 that it also contains the titles/ or you can remove the conditions completely (delete line 907 and 908) and use this onclick then:

<onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://movies/titles/,return)</onclick>

Appreciate it isn't a bug, just my personal preference that I don't want to use the categories at all.

Really appreciate your detailed response and I'll make the change manually

Thanks again
