2. Thats pretty much what I'm looking for, but again I would like to have the previews available when I have selected the series.
Sorry I intended to show a 3rd screenshot which showed exactly that as well,
but run out of time.
Here's a few more:

OK here goes...
Presumably you've tagged your files in some way such that they contain
an Episode Number, a Series/Season Number, and also the programme name (ie LOST)?
You also need a way of identifying what video files are from a TV Series, so that the view
will only display these video files, and not films for example.
I do this by a custom tag called Video Type, which is displayed for Video files only.
For all my Tv Series files I set the tag to "TV-Series". I think there is a default field
now called Media Sub Type, which you could also use.
First of all you want to create a new view.
I've actually put mine on the root of the tree since I go there
quite a lot, you can alternatively create it under the Video Node.
Select the node you wish the item to appear under,
or select the Start Node if you wish it to appear on the root
of the tree.
Then from the edit menu select "Add View Scheme"
On the dialouge for creating the view scheme, there is an
option to select view items to be displayed.
Add the items Programme, Episode, and Series,
make sure they are in that order, so that Programmes at the top of the list
In the 2nd box enter the name for the view scheme, I called mine TV-Series
The 3rd box doesn't really matter so much and can be edited at a later date
if need be.
The 4th box is more important.
This is where you select what items are displayed in the view.
Mine looks like this
[Media Type]=[Video] [Video Type]=[TV Series]
This selects all Video Files which are of Video Type TV-Series
Press the OK button to create the view.
When you first go into the view, it will be in Panes Mode.

or You can view things individually, by selecting Programme from the drop down.
