can one specify the default view?

[garyi]

The showcase view seems to be the default view, which is fine for movies.

But with for instance the bbc iPlayer this view is totally inappropriate.

and there are lots of menus, and these menus change daily, and each time Aeon defaults to the showcase view. The only view that makes sense for BBC iplayer is list view, but changing it to this view does not default the inclosing folders to that view. So in each and every case, you have to make it that view. And the next day the content has changed and you are back show case view.

Is this like a bug or something? Or is there a way to tell Aeon 'I want list view as default' Its trivial to set movies to showcase as opposed to every other single folder to list

I would like to know this also, does anyone have an idea?

[PantsOnFire]

great idea, i find the same thing over and over.

I think I have figured it out. In MyVideoNav.xml near the bottom you find:


<include>Viewtype_Showcase</include>
<include>Viewtype_List</include>


Switch the order of this two tags like this:


<include>Viewtype_List</include>
<include>Viewtype_Showcase</include>


Try and see if it works.

EDIT: Do the same with MyVideo.xml if you would like listview to be default when browsing video files

I think there should be an option somewhere in settings to change the default view.

I've had this problem forever and I very happy that I found your answer, macardi (although I haven't actually tried it out yet since I'm not home for a while).

EDIT: Tried it and it works for me too.

Perfect.
