Title: Theater View in MC16 (with pictures)
Post by: JimH on May 04, 2011, 02:20:59 pm

MC16 has a customizable Theater View with many options.  It includes a 3D view called ShowRoom that can be flicked left and right on a touch screen.

This is ideal for use across the room when controlled by JRiver's Media Center Remote (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_Remote) or with Gizmo on Android (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Gizmo).

I notice that the weather images/icons are missing for you too.  I know I saw them in Theater View before - any way to get them back?

Do you think Showroom will ever be able to be nested. I would ike to be able to drill down from the regular views to an artist, click on the artist and then have the Showroom show albums just from that artist.  Just curious...

Theater View in v16 has several important improvements:

• Views that work better, especially for browsing movies, television (recorded or downloaded), and other video content
• Ability to use the Showroom (3D wall) list style in any view
• Automatic categorization of video content ( http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=63847.0 )
• More customizable layout system (new type of category browse item, ability to add playlist groups to browse structure, more control over optical discs, ability to place the same item under multiple parents, etc.)
• High quality background images for television ( http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=63799.0 )
• Configurable scrollbar sizes (especially useful for touch screens)
• Ability to hide the 'All Artists (300)' type items on a per-view basis

There's more information here about some of the recent improvements:

hi all, maybe this is not the right place, i want to know how to use a rightclick on theater view with touchscreen,
supposed to be by holding longer the key but is not working and acts like a regular click.

my touchscreen (tablet) client computer (used to remote control the main media server) shows in Theater View in the 'Info' and 'List' panels old data of a previously played album or movie - not like on 'Playing Now' which is correct

thanks
