Files-view in TV-Shows and Movies won´t stay! (Changes back to Library View)

MrOrsh · 2008-09-21, 01:26

As the topic says, I enter either the TV-shows or the Movies selections from the main screen, and since it just says "No scanned information for this view. Switch to Files view" I do that, and everything is fine. I can add sources, thumnails and everything.

But if I go back to the main menu and the re-enter TV-shows or Movies it´s back to the library-view just saying "No scanned info...etc" again.

This does not happend in Music or Program, and not i the Project Mayhem III - skin. I really can´t seem to find any solution to it. Should it be this (odd) way, or is there some nice setting that I´ve forgot?

Thanks in advance

TV Shows is designed to go to TV Shows in the library. Simple as that. If you don't like that behaviour, I believe you can either change it, or remove the option completely via skin settings.

Thanks for the fast answer.
Does somebody know how to change this, or if it is even possible.

The reason I want to do it is simply because I enjoy the files-view and think it is simple to use.

As I said - investigate the options available to you in the skin settings. It may already be possible.

Yea I think you can do that by unchecking "Enable Library" by going to System --> Video --> Library --> Enable Library.

Thanks, I didn´t look deep enough. The setting for turning of the library-function was in System/Videos/Library.

I guess the Library-function is actually a quite nice one. Maybe will look into it later, but for now I´m sticking to the List-view

Thanks for the help!

Library is way sexier though, I highly recommend that you give it a try. It's kinda hard to set up but it's worth it

MrOrsh · 2008-09-21, 02:03

I´m getting a little interested in it yes

But I can´t even seem to get started working with it since no files show up and I don´t seem to be able to add any. Is there some kind of tutorial/guide anywhere? Or perhaps just a hint to where I should start?

Press "C" on the source you want to add to the files view.

Set content.

Scan.

Read more on the online manual.

Cheers,
Jonathan
