All,
I am really enjoying the power of MC. It has so many things you can do and ways to see your data.
I wonder if you Gurus have a way to make this work for me. I have many TV shows on a server ready to be watched.
I have them all imported correctly and have even learned how to make Theater View work as easily as our previous player that the wife is growing to like it (No small feat).
I have set it up to show a list of episodes in a row without seasons being a choice. Sorted so the next Season/Episode is displayed at the top and once played it disappears from the view.
This is working well, here is how it could be better. Using round numbers we have say 30 different Series on the server. All these shows will be gotten too eventually (great intentions
).
But for now we are only actively watching 10 or 12 of them, bouncing around from show to show during an evening. The list of Shows though shows all 30. We have to scroll or page down to find a show we are watching. Sure I could move the not currently watched shows somewhere else, but we like having them all available to MC, and, the "actors" and other fields are useful.
Can I set a rule or make an expression that says. "Of these TV SERIES, Show the SERIES that have an episode that has been PLAYED." Don't show the episode that has been played, but use the fact that the episode has been played as the criteria for making the whole series visible in a view. If we decide we want to start a new series, we just watch an episode from it picked from file view or whatever, and then it appears in the view we want to use all the time.
Makes sense?
Also, is there a way to change the data in "number plays"? So if I play something I can still hide it?
Thanks
Don
