TV Shows View With Season Theme Format

[joshhuggins 22]

Hi all hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have searched all over but can't seem to find a solution. I was surprised that I had not found someone who would have asked for something along these lines already.

 

First thing to note is I use the "Folders" method for my server. Using that method, I have some collections of old TV shows and cartoons that I have stored in a folder for each show. Each episode has it's own .NFO and .JPG file which works great, but I am looking for way so when I view the folder it would show the list of videos in the same view format as a season of a TV show so it has a horizontal image (screenshot, right now they are all distorted into the vertical coverart format) and the overview text to the right. The only way I have found to do this so far is to stuff everything into a season folder which requires another folder to drill down into while browsing. Is there anyway to force a root folder to be viewed like a seasons view without being a season?

 

Library Settings (Server Watching) (Unset mixed content)

X:\Family

 

Path to Popeye video example

X:\Family\Popeye\Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp.mp4

 

Main Menu

 

Popeye folder currently shows like this

 

Is there a way to open directly to a view like this without having to move the videos inside a season folder, and bypassing the "TV Show" info page?

 

Thanks for any info or leads!

@@joshhuggins - i expect in a future update we will have a toggle that allows you to pick the view you want. Until then you'd have to just wait and use the generic folder layout, or re-organize into a true TV library. thanks.

Sounds good Luke, I'll just plug into a season folder for now then. Thanks for the quick reply!
