MBC Episode search results - Show name missing

[AdrianW 1053]

In MBC if the search results includes a single episode from a specific show, then just the episode title is displayed giving no indication of the show name.

 

But, if two or more episodes from that show are returned then the show name followed by "(n items)" is displayed - giving a very clear indication of the show name.

 

e.g.

 

 

I'd like to suggest that the results are always grouped by show name even if there's only one episode for that show. Or alternatively - include the show name as a prefix, although that could get a little long.

Also in Chocolate, when moving through the search results - like "How I Met Your Mother" (above) will show the banner for the show at the top left of the screen.

 

But, when highlighting an episode title, that episode's mediainfo details is displayed instead. If the banner was displayed then that would identify the show title.

Search results in MBC are just another group of items and they show in whatever view you set for them.  So, how they display is up to the theme and view you are using.

 

You can cause single episodes to roll-up, however by modifying the undocumented parameter in the config file for each user.  The tag would be RecentItemCollapseThresh.  This will also affect your RAL.

That actually works really well - and in Chocolate the RAL list looks fine, even if there's only a single new item for a show.

 

Are these "undocumented" settings documented anywhere?
