Title: What triggers the "popup" window when hovering over the movie artwork
Post by: tyler69 on November 21, 2018, 12:18:30 pm: Hi there,

I play around with "Customize View" since I can't get Panel to show the movie artwork (it shows a list). However, I now changed a view to "Categories" which seems to have disabled the popup which shows the movie information. Is there a way to get this back/a setting to trigger its appearance?

Thanks!

EDIT: While I am at it: How do I get the movie artwork to show in Panel?

Either way, "thumbnails" is checked currently and I neither get the popups, nor does Panel show artwork (I restarted the server btw).

Post by: tyler69 on November 21, 2018, 01:47:42 pm: I get the popups when I select "View as: File List" but "View as: Categories" does not show. I changed the view to "Categories" since I thought that would enable artwork in Panel...

Apparently you can do some obscure settings to show the cover art in panel.

As far as your view is concerned I would switch it back to a panes view.

Might be worth considering consolidating "view management", be it for Panel, JRemote or MC in one place.

The initial question remains: Is the popup when hovering over the artwork in MC only available for "File list" view?

Post by: swiv3d on November 21, 2018, 02:05:29 pm: Question for you Tyler - do your popups appear in different places on screen when you hover over the file in different places - I find that for some I have to hover over the left side whereas for other to appear in a readable position I have to hover over the right side of the file in details view. It is all a bit weird.

Post by: tyler69 on November 21, 2018, 02:19:36 pm: No, the popups seem to appear always in the same place relative to the movie artwork I hover over. Sometimes they stay open when I move the mouse across the artwork, sometimes they disappear and reappear when I stop the mouse (on a different area of the artwork) after a second or so.

The above is of course only valid for "View as: File List" since "View as: Categories" does not show the popup.

Post by: swiv3d on November 21, 2018, 02:21:25 pm: Found the reason for my problem - having display settings in windows greater than 100% causes it!
You could try customising the view for video as a whole as a panes view and see if that helps - it certainly caused my popups to deactivate when I set that one to categories.

Post by: tyler69 on November 21, 2018, 02:23:54 pm: Thanks for sharing that information. I have this setting always at 100% in order to prevent UI glitches.
