Set Up

[rsaxman 0]

I'm having a major brain fart and could use a little help. I  just added a new folder for the first time in a while and cant get it to look like the rest of them. All my folders display as the posters dressed up with some cover art. The new folder has the suggested, all movies, collections, favorites, continue watching, etc. I know there is a way (obviously since I have done it before) to change how the folder displays, but for the life of me cant remember.

 

THanks

Are you talking about a new library? Can you give more detail and possibly some screenshots?

[rsaxman 0]

yes a new library

 

This is how it normally looks

 

and this is how the new library looks

 

I can't remember how to change it. Ive looked through all the setting options

 

Thanks

Click on all movies

Have you looked at homescreen settings? Home page setup. From the dashboard user icon.

Click on all movies

Sure, but I don't have to do that with any other library.

How have you configure the library?

 

Maybe these are the droids you're looking for?

Good day,

 

I think what you looking for as "folder" view, enable that at the library - display, then from the top menu at the client, click on folder.

 

 

I do not know if any other settings for that, or maybe I misunderstand the issue.

 

My best

Also I found with help that it matters a lot whether the library type is set. If set to say Movies or TV it does a fancier view and if left unset it shows the simple poster view I prefer.

So as of this morning all my libraries have changed. This is really frustrating

Changed to what?

See pic 2 above. All my libraries used to open to the view all movies screen by default (pic 1). Now they all open to as seen in pic 2 by default. I haven't changed a thing in the server side

Have you tried the folder view, as Abobader suggested?

[rsaxman 0]

Yes I have tried folder view. It doesn't change anything on Emby Theater

This gave me the result I wanted. Thanks!

 

Still doesn't explain why all my existing libraries changed overnight. Server update perhaps? Now I have to delete all my libraries and remake them

Had my views switched to the newer style on me too. It used to be something I could set in each users account via the web interface but for the life of me I can't find it now. I removed my libraries (because we can't change the type even though there is an option too?) and created new libraries with the content type set to Unset (Mixed Content) as suggested above and it's working all plain and simple now for me too. Thanks guys!
