In Mixed Content (if it matters) folder view items are not sorted alphabetically (this is how i came to the conclusion the * is also not doing anything).

 

Also please note the last row of displayed items.  The text below this row is cut off...

 

 

These are sorted correctly on the dashboard home and theater.

 

Thanks...

Thanks, we're looking into it.

Hi.  So you are saying you cannot get to the menu to change the sort order?

[skidmarks]

Correct...  That was my first thought after my mistake a few months ago.

[skidmarks]

Just a follow up here as well.  With your new settings tool bar i was able to get these in the correct order!  Dont know exactly why, but i had to go to by date added and then go back to alphabetical after (before they showed correctly). 

 

Also noticed that the last line of items displayed correctly now (not cut off at the bottom).

 

It does appear that i now have a mixed display of both posters and backdrops?  Again this is for a mixed content folder.  The TV and movies library display fine.

What do you mean by that?

[skidmarks]

The display appears, from the size of the box, to be set to show backdrop images (landscape). i am getting a mix of poster art stretched to fill a landscape size box / a poster image with the correct aspect ratio in a landscape sized box or a landscape image fitting correctly.  Its all over the place. 

 

The server shows poster art.  All the files display this correctly there.

Can you show an example? thanks.

[skidmarks]

So here is my display on the TV:

 

 

 

Here are the files in one of my folders:

 

 

I'm guessing, and think i was told. that backdrop images are no longer a thing?  But i do have a landscape image in this folder, but it is showing the poster in a landscape box on the TV display.  I'll need to go thru these "movies" one at a time and verify what art i have in each of them.

 

And i'm not sure at what point i ended up with trailer thumb and trailer nfo files?

How does it look in the web app?

[skidmarks]

Dashboard Home:

 

Theater:

 

 

Correctly

The issue is the first item has only a landscape image.  In these situations where we have no idea what the contents of a folder are, the app looks at the first one to decide how to display the images because, with a grid in these apps, we have to have all of the "slots" the same size.

 

It appears the web app just assumes posters.

I love a good mixed content folder...  Especially to hold stuff that i dont want to see in my normal libraries.  Holiday items being a big one.  Think i need to rethink my strategy.  In a mixed folder environment its probably the right call to use a landscape image.  Now i understand what i was seeing.

 

Thanks for realizing the * was going to be a issue shortly and planning ahead.  Perfect timing!

[skidmarks]

This is just a place holder to mark this as resolved.

 

@ebr put out a new beta that included a new settings toolbar.  At the same time correcting the spacing on the last row of display items.
