barrettuk 3 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) First let me say I am a long term supporter and really value the work everyone puts in to bring us this cool software!!! However... things are changing really fast which is good as in I like the continued development and new features etc. but I also really liked my set up and now its not want I wanted :-( So my question is can we still get the same look and feel with configuration or is this just the way things will be going forward..??? In detail.... I only have my main movie collection, boxsets, 3d movies (just playing around with this) and trailers, I don't do any live TV or TV programs or any other add-ons. I had my images for each collection and loved the navigation but with the new updates everything has changed. Now I have collections which is the boxsets, I can live with that...Movies, which is still the main movie collection, but can't find my 3d movies and the trailers are now hidden within channels sob sob...so it feels broken How do I get to folders and where is my 3d movies collection gone, btw this is all via the web not on the clients. I guess my concern is that the look and feel is changing and not in a subtle way... what is the vision when you get to a release version? Again, I love getting new features and fixes but feels like from a GUI stand-point I lost something.... Thanks! OK and to add to this I just looked to see how the Win8 app looks, I can click on media folders and still see my original ones but also have a new one called collections (as well as my boxsets) when I click on it nothing happens. I attached some screen shots... Edited June 12, 2014 by barrettuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard 0 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) I have basically the same question to one of the above. In the web client, I cannot work out how to get my folder views back under Movies. When I click on Movies in the My Library section on the home screen, it just shows me all my movies dumped together. Previous to the recent updates I would instead always see my sub folders based of the directory structure of my movies folder. I've tried playing around with the library view settings in the web client preferences but that didn't change anything. I couldn't see anything in the server config. I've done a search on here and trawled back through posts for the last month or so. I feel like an idiot as I'm sure there is something obvious I'm missing?? The folder view works fine in Media Browser Theater and Classic, I just can't work out what I'm doing wrong with the web client.

Luke 37272 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 the library view settings are exactly where to go. just uncheck the folders you don't want combined together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrettuk 3 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Thanks Luke I will take a look, not sure that will fix the fake/broken 'collections' collection if that's the correct term that I see in the Win8 client? Also when these new features get added, it is possible to leave the default as not to change how it was working and let us opt in vs. the default changing the behavior? Only asking, not sure if that is a consideration or even possible technically :-) ...ok I am in settings, Library and have folders/path substitution/advanced but can see view settings, click on everything else and can see it anywhere...what am I doing wrong lol Edited June 12, 2014 by barrettuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37272 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 well the changes are purely related to the web client and shouldn't impact the win8 client Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrettuk 3 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) So it looks like collections is the new boxsets - and I see a new boxset has been added to this collection, which means the old way it was working I guess has been replaced :-( what a mess .... feels like I need to nuke this and start again? BTW. I am using auto boxsets addon Edited June 12, 2014 by barrettuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrettuk 3 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 well the changes are purely related to the web client and shouldn't impact the win8 client Oh got it, your talking about filters in the web view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrettuk 3 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Oh ok I'll try that.. and without rebuilding is there a way to combine the old boxsets with the new collections? Looks like the option to select a folder for auto boxsets has gone and I don't know where the new collections folder lives... I was going to try a cut and paste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard 0 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 "the library view settings are exactly where to go. just uncheck the folders you don't want combined together" Thats what I thought it would be, but they are all unchecked already. Maybe ill try removing my Movies collection and adding it back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
