Theater View: Browse Disks?

<< < (3/5) > >>

)p(:
Especially with the popularity of external hdd's. I regularly have people visiting who bring one with them for video's and also photo's.

Duh moment!!!  Yes.  Imagine plugging in a flash drive that a friend brings over and immediately browsing its contents.  The HTPCs I have recently built have front USB ports and I've always been confused...there isn't really any use for them because I can't easily get to them through MC.  It never even occured to me that this feature would solve the problem completely.  Great idea!

Having spent most of last night trying to use theatre view I came to the conclusion that the designers of this software have really lost it! They seem to live in a cloud for geeks andforget that us ordinary mortals just want to play their music and videos/photos ! I get lost among all the wretched menues spread all over the place. I have lots of stuff on different disks and its such pig I have given up and will seek something simpler ;D :'( :-X :-[

I don't agree for browsing library content its by far the best interface I have seen. It's very easy to navigate and flexible. And as an added bonus it feels very smooth and looks great. I hope they stick with this concept. There are just a few things I can see to improve it...like to show more info from the tags in the big empty space of the highlighted line that has been asked before. I also would like to change the rating, especially for images, with the overlay menu that pops up at the bottom in play mode.

I agree, and i think it's important to note that this feature request is for the few times when you dont have or want media in your library
