Question about sorting

Post by sparky »

Hi folks, I've just started using wild, and so far so good, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting around the library. I want to avoid as many button presses as possible with my remote, so I'm trying to figure out how to seperate my movies from my tv shows. At the moment, they're all under "all movies" (which is the only one that will show thumbnails), so it makes it a little confusing when I have 200 episodes mixed in with movies. I could use collections, but thats a lot of menu navigation.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to sort these out? Thanks!

You can create a root folder "TV Shows" and link it to the collections folder TV Shows (if exists)

On the right mouse button in the folder tree - Structure of media resources - On the right mouse button - Add folder - TV Shows - Type - Dynamic (script) - button Script - Expression

Code: Select all

var
  SourceFolder: TWmsScriptMediaItem;
begin
  SourceFolder := WmsFindMediaFolder(mfVideoCollectionsItemID, 'TV Shows');  
  if SourceFolder <> nil then 
    WmsDatabaseLinkFolder(SourceFolder.ItemID, FolderItem.ItemID)  
end.
