OK, so is JRemote able to handle different views?
Yes, absolutely.
However, these are defined separately than those used for Standard View.
MC has three independent View systems:
1. Standard View: these are defined in the tree.
2. Theater View: these are defined in
Options > Theater View3. Media Network: these are defined in
Options > Media Network > Advanced > Customize Views for Gizmo and WebGizmoThe ones defined via #3 are the ones that JRemote (and any other Media Network application like Gizmo and WebGizmo) will "see". When you are defining the views listed in #2 and #3, you
can import views you've made in Standard View via the Add Library Item from Standard View option you get when you add a new item.
Please Note: To see the effects in JRemote or other Media Network connected applications, you must restart MC for any changes to take effect. This
includes closing the running Media Server if you have MC set to run Media Server in the tray even when the main UI is closed.*
There is actually also a fourth place you can define views, that is related to the third, but is probably not heavily used. If you have a DLNA device on your network that attaches to MC and browses it as a DLNA server, these views can be defined on a device-by-device basis when you add the DLNA server in Options > Media Network.
* PS. Guys, this is annoying. Can someone make it so MC restarts the HTTP server or whatever when Options > Media Network is modified when you click OK?
