NEW: View Extras
rwwear:
I tried that. My Oppo wouldn't play it. There should be a way to do it as a video disc but it won't let me burn music files to DVD video. Maybe 23 will add this feature.

More generally, an elegant way of handling this content in standard and theatre views would be amazing (I'm currently experimenting with glynor's method of tagging extra content).

I'm not sure how showing videos when you right-click a video would work. Because for example I have a pile of movies sitting next to each other on the hard drive. If they all started showing up in the View Extras menu, it would be kind of overwhelming!
If you have some clever idea, please share.
Thanks.

I'll admit I was purely thinking about my own use case (primarily watching TV/Movies in Theatre View) and folder structure, in which each movie resides in its own folder and any bonus features live in an Extras subfolder within each movie folder. Anything in the Extras folder could appear in the View Extras list (and ideally an Extras tab for the selected Movie in Theatre View).
I run MC on another PC for listening to music and can appreciate the new functionality in that setting, so I'm not ungrateful of View Extras in its current guise! But as has already been discussed in this thread, it seems some refinement is required to work as some people would like/expect for different types of media (and in the different views).
Thinking about this some more, tagging may be a better way to populate the View Extras list, rather than looking at special Extras/Scans folders. Maybe an appropriate tag exists already, but a new [Extras Parent] tag could be filled with the [Name] of the 'parent' movie/album to which the extra content relates. Items could be automatically tagged if they reside in an Extras subfolder, thus retaining the existing functionality.
Herwet:
In the Artist, Album and Genre columns there are this Play symbol to the left of the text which makes the view switch to "3D Almbums" view.
Question: Is there a way to not see this Play-button and use the space for more text instead?
(It would be a good improvement for me)
David Sydney:
Sorry I'm losing track now. I would like to standardise my folders before I create too many more. Can you summarise the list of folder names that work with View Extras again. There has been so many increments along the way?

Anyone else like that idea?
Brian.
