Viewing Shared Text in Theater View
« on: February 28, 2009, 12:53:35 pm »

What would be the best way to make documents viewable through theater view?  I know MC supports documents for media management but how do they play in theater view?

Should I be thinking about pulling text in through XML?

My main need is publishing a list of television shows and episode names/numbers/descriptions that will allow looking at an episode list rather than a season/disc list.

When documents are launched from theater view, specifically .txt files, could they be handled more appropriately in theater view rather than simply launching an external program?  What about displaying them like theater view news is displayed?

im not sure ben, but why dont you just give the file orher names etc. or when you dont want to change the orginal names, make a library field wher you put your own naming in and make a view in Theater View based on that.

That doesn't work necessarily because I'm using DVD rips so I am only able to import tags from the folder/file structure.  There are other uses for this as well...just a way to view text documents in theater view.
