Theater View: Find Artist
« on: February 09, 2015, 03:12:46 am »

I like the new "Find Artist" feature for Theater View. It works well for Audio but doesn't make a lot of sense for Videos and Images. The results returned (for non-audio lookups) are weird too.

I propose the button should only appear for views where the "Artist" tag is actually populated. Anyone else agree?

I feel that it's a redundant option which should be removed.
 
On the same screen that "find artist" gets displayed, the artist itself is listed.
If you select the artist name, it will perform that very same search.
 
Additionally, if you have a film selected, you can search based on other fields like the director rather than "artist" for example, so "find artist" is a limiting option.

Yeah I see what you mean. No reason for it to take up space on the roller menu then is there?
