Hi Yaobing.

I had a TV specific view scheme (file type = tvlb) After resetting once the view schemes I wanted to recreate it. Although it is possible to create a view scheme to search for "media type = TV", I cannot import any TV channels into it any longer.  Also it is not any longer possible to create a TV view scheme on the top level root.

Now, when I start TV I see all the channels in the PlayingNow View and on right click there is the option "Import into library". But when I try to import the tv channels into the library, nothing happens. The "MyTV Channels" view scheme remains empty. This was very handy as had a scheme Country>Genre>Channel where Type was one of "National|Private|News|Sports|Local|Commercial". I could select in the panes "Germany>News and I got the specific German News Channels to select.

The way it is now it is simply not consistent with the rest of Media Center.
Is there a chance to make the TV view scheme working again?

This should work:

- add a new root level view scheme (select Playing Now in the tree and add a view scheme from the top menu: Edit > Add View Scheme).

- use this string in step 4 (pick files...):  ~d=a [File Type]=[tvlb]

Thank you  Alex for helping!

Must admit that MC11 becomes more and more an occult science You can do many things if you knew how to do it!

Even if I follow Interact on a quite regular basis, one misses many things. It is not easy to imagine that to add a new root level view scheme one has to select "Playing Now" first and then go to the Top Menu Bar.

I was against the removal of the "all media" Media Library branch. I understand the need for simplified interface, but the current system is not clear for newbies (and some oldbies too  ). Now new users might not realize that MC is capable of handling various media types at the same time.

At least MC should have a more intuitive way for creating new root branches. Perhaps the option could be in the usual right-click "add view scheme" dialog, e.g. "Make this view scheme a root item".

In regard to the "~a" (all databases) expression I guess you used it before too. I don't think the TV channels have been included in the main database previously (though, I can't be sure. I have only 11.1 installed).
