Hi

I'm quite new to MC (but not to HTPC).
I'm have been using MyMovies with win7 media center.

After innstalling MC I imported my old movie libraries. It seems to have gone pritty ok, but I have noticed a couple of issues.
The issue I would like to ask about here is movie categories.

MC supports grouping of movies by category, but when I use this function I get categories like this;
action;comedy
action;comedy;family
and so on, while I would like to have categories like this:
action
comedy
family

Is there any easy way to fix this?

This can be done. The solution will require either creating a new view, or modifying an existing one, to break apart the movie categories into a list.  This is easy to do in MC.

What file tag are these categories stored in?  Open Action Window > Tag, select one of the movies, and look for the values in Tag action window.

What view are you using to examine the list of movies?

I got this hint from another user on this forum.

In your view, that being standard or theater view, create an expression instead of using the field Genre. The expression should be as below.

ListBuild(1, ;, Replace([Genre], /,, )&datatype=

This will give you one genre of each available. If a video has more than one genre, as it is in your case, the video can be found in each of the genres selected in My Movies (I use the same way).
