    Navigate to parent menus in Controller ?

    Is there some way I can write core on the SlimServer side that results in that the menu move back several levels in a Controller menu.

    For example, lets say I've navigated down into a menu:
    Extras - "middle button" - Custom Browse - "middle button" - Artists - "middle button" - Madonna - "play-hold" - Dynamic Playlists - "middle button" - Random songs by artist - "play"

    When the user in the end hit "play"(or "go") I like to trigger a menu navigation so it moves back to the "Madonna" entry, is this possible ?

    I know I can add a "nextWindow" = "parent" entry in the JSON response to move back one level, but is it possible to move back several menu levels ?

    I like to do exactly the same as what I can do in the PlayerUI by calling Slim::Buttons::Common:opMode several times.

    The above is just an example, the sub menu can be more than two levels deep.

    nextWindow = 'grandparent' will pop you back 2 levels.

    There is no code currently to support popping back n levels. Feel free to open an enhancement bug for that.
