Movie Info

opusnut · 2006-11-20, 03:33

Ok, when i am in My Videos looking at my movies share, when i select a movie, it starts playing right away. Is there a way to have it go to the movie info page first? Then from there i could select "play movie" or go back to the share to keep browsing. I Like that i can get movie info from IMDB for all my movies, but i cant seem to find a way to ever get to the page with that info on it! Even just pushing my info button only brings up a context menu!!

HELP!!!

thanx.

hey opusnut... I think after you have the IMDB info initially you can get the info page subsequent times by clicking on IMDB again... I don't think it goes through the same lookup process once the info is stored in the database...

But if there is a better way I hope somebody points it out because I'm curious too.

F3 on the keyboard will do it (I've also got F3 mapped to my remote for this reason)

Just for my reference, is F3 just a shortcut for IMDB?

It would be nice if when you select a movie from the list, and MP sees that there is IMDB info, it should bring you to the info page instead of playing the file.
