Sorry. I reread what I posted. What I meant was the Ortus Trailers plugin.

What's the last image all about? The imports one. Are they sort of imported histories by date imported?

Thats correct.... grouped by the import date.

I was hoping that wasn't the case..... the answer is no it wont work fully in its current form... the trailer plugin will need to be updated to fully work (mainly theme images).

I wouldn't use it in any other scenario that I can think of, but I'm sure there are lots of potential use cases out there.

btl.

Ya, its something I would never use either but it was easy enough to add so we did..... its pretty much the same as grouping by year, filesystem etc, I'd never use those. All I really use is view all by newest first or sort alphabetical.

We also filter out home movies and use different views for these.... home movies are asigned their own media type, I guess its pretty much like phoenix.

Yeah, I suspect that Phoenix and Ortus are more or less the same thing done slightly different ways.

One clearly superior of course

Below is a screenshot of the last view thats just been finished off..... that makes seven different views in total (for movies, tv series has these plus some additional ones)

The other screenshot shows a quick jump menu which is available in all seven views.

We'll think about that one. The filter menus above need to be removed now as they dont sit right with the additional views so maybe it'll be enlarged and moved up but we'll see.

After searching this thread I couldnt find the answer if Ortus can use "My Movies" metadata and fan art? Thanks

Nope.... it contains its own scraper and webui to edit/manage metadata/fanart etc.

Is the bottom left corner indicating that you are listening to music while scrolling through the movie view, and showing what song is playing? If so, and I can't imagine what else that would be, that's COOL!!

Any other music tweaks/adds/changes you can show?

Yes it is (I listen to music whilst working in studio).... the "Standard List" view has scrolling data to show what your watching/listening to as there isn't room for an image.... there are no other music tweaks to speak of at the moment.

[nebulink]

when is the estimated public release of this app/plugin?

[hoep]

although we should never ask ... +1

Looked at the youtube video - in the views choices, is "filesystem" equal to a "by folder" view? Unless I missed it, that's the only view that is not actually demonstrated in the video.

Yes.... although they aren't classed as views as such but more media groupings (group by: filesystem. import date, release year, genre or none).

[hoep]

looked at the youtube videos and have to state the speed is incredible.. can a similar speed be expected with a hd300?

Sorry - that's what I meant, "media groupings" - I'm at work and couldn't remember all the terminology.

Nice work. Looking forward to it.

[Ericft]
