Title: Theater View: Can't figure out how to browse
Post by: Marty3d on August 25, 2005, 07:16:48 am

Hi!

When I use Theater View to play movies, the views (shown as thumbnails) really confuse me. When entering Video, you have some "folders", probably presenting the different items (in my case: Type, Genre, Rating) in a view scheme, then "All", then a list of all videos/films.

If you then enter one of the folders, it seem to present a drilled down version of the above, but here I'm lost. Whatever folder I go into I get another set of folders...

Can somebody PLEASE tell me how it works, or how one should think when browsing this? Sorry if I explain poorly, but this messes up my mind :(

Sounds like you're just using a default view scheme. I'd suggest you start by creating one that makes sense to you.

One of my custom view schemes is basically made up of just 2 fields: Genre and Name. Open it up and you get a list of Genres. Drill down into one of them (say "Action") and you get all movie titles in that Genre. Select the one you want an hit Play. Simple.

Hope this helps.

I actually had it almost exactly how you said, but 'type' (serie,movie,short film) and Genre.

But it also turned out I forgot to uncheck 'Show in Theater View' in my other schemes!

Thanks for your help!
