All movies showing as Folders in Folder View


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just upgraded to 4.9.1.80.

Following the upgrade there was a change to the folder structure for my Mixed Content Library. 
Before, when I would choose Folder View, all of the Folders that were actually Folders and contained multiple items would be display first, followed by all of the Movies. 
Now, all movies are being treated like folders that contain subitems. So I click on a movie folder to review the lone item in the folder and then click on the movie to move into the play screen.

I wasn't sure if that was by design or if there is some new setting I need to configure. It was nice to have all the actual folders grouped together first, followed by ungrouped Movies. Now everything is being treated the same.

Hi, you can remove this extra click layer by going into your display settings and and checking the option called 

 

Auto open single items in folder view

This will be turned on by default in an upcoming update.

Yes, thank you. I knew about this function and had enabled it. It still is different from before the move to 4.9.1.80 because even though the extra layer is removed, the movie still gets treated like a folder in the "Folder" view and so the actual folders are now inline sorted with the rest of the movies instead of all presented first like before.

I guess I prefer the old way and didn't know if that functionality was going to be restored as well.

I also think we're going to be adding a Movies & Shows tab to mixed content libraries, which I think will help.
