SageMC Menu Customization

Is there a way to break the connection between each of the video browsers so they behave independent of one another?

To be clear, I have the 2 video browsers with the filters set up. One for Movies, and one for Other. It works great, except when I switch the display mode to say "date added" on the movies browser the change is automatically replicated to the Other browser too. I'd like to have them operate independently based on different view modes. Is this possible???

yup you can do that... by setting the property items that control those look and feel attributes in the menu.xml file (same way you do the path filtering)...

ie something like this:

<internalScreenMenuItem icon="hover_my videos.png" screen="Video Library Folder View" title="Videos">
    <evalExpression>SetProperty("sagemc/ui/video_lib_view", "FILE-SYSTEM")</evalExpression>
    <evalExpression>SetProperty("sagemc/video_lib_filter", "None")</evalExpression>
    <evalExpression>SetProperty("sagemc/ui/video_lib_folder_listview", false)</evalExpression>
</internalScreenMenuItem>

EDIT: so set up one browser to be the way you want, shut down the client, see what the settings are for the above properties in sageclient.properties, copy the settings to your menu.xml file, repeat for the other browser setting....

Brilliant!! Worked like a charm, thanks so much razrsharpe.

Can this also be used to specific different tv recording directories? I want to possibly use this with the Malore Menus to have 3 different menus that would break off our recordings by family member
