Feature Request: Theater View Enhancements
« on: February 26, 2025, 09:34:49 pm »

Feature Request: The Theater View file info icons introduced in MC32 are limited to Movies and TV Shows only  .Please extend that feature to remaining other Video categories too(at least for Audio and Video Codec icons). MC33 development cycle too is well past its half term . The pics below highlight the present state of Theater View Video category when compared to other Media Center Software .
Kodi : Pics (1-2), JRiver: Pics(3) (Please use the slider below the pic to see the full page)

Can this supplementary feature be included in the current version of MC 33 ?

Obviously same things are not possible than kodi and vice versa. FWIW created quick Music Video template for MC to show one example what MC can do already. It's not out of box of course.

We should upgrade the generic Video template to have the format icons and all that information that is based on the file itself, even if it lacks any extra features the TV Show/Movie entries have.
