I was about to post a question on the theatre view and decided to stick it to this thread.
I don't have that much experience with the ThView as I find it practically unusable.. Maybe I am doing something wrong.. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction..
I use MC mostly for music (still think that Zoomplayer is superior to MC for video/dvd).
The main reason I don't use (but I would love to be able to) the ThView is that it's really hard to navigate to whatever I want to listen to.. I have about 3000 albums, close to 1000 artists in the library. As far as I understand, I can only navigate through those lists with up/down arrows, pageup/pagedown buttons or with the mouse wheel.. It's OK when I need to navigate to, say, 10000 Maniacs or ABBA but to get to Yes or ZZ Top it's not that easy... I know, I can group numbers and characters there but it doesn't really help. Still cumbersome.
Actually, the Library View in MC 11.0.316 is very close to what I need but it's hard to operate from a distance (if the thumnails, characters and buttons were larger then it would be OK)
- it has the alphabet shortcuts at the top
- it responds to keystrokes ("zz"" brings me directly to ZZ Top)
Hope I made my point clear..
BTW, I like Meedio frontend very much. It would be nice to have something similar (the looks and the ability to customize) in MC.
Thanks,
max
