|  Search function? Maybe I am blind, but I cannot see a "search" function in Mediaportal (v0.2 RC2). I have several drives with over 700 video files and it would be nice to be able to search by keyword for the name of a movie. I have not seen that function in MediaPortal. Anyone else have this problem? -Alex |

| I have missed it sometimes, but sorting by imdb information is ok for me. I desided to imdb update all of my movies, and it was worth it, altough it took a lot of time.

Country:  | Hi, no real search function, you may use the "SMS" Feature in list-view: 1) With keyboard SHIFT + <CHARACTER> 2) With remote NUMERIC BUTTON This way MP will jump to the entries which begin with the chosen character. Eg. SHIFT + G or REMOTE 4 and you will jump to all entries beginning with G. BTW.: What the hell are you doing with 700 movie files?  :roll: You should consider to use database views and define those to your needs. Flip |

Database views??? What do you mean? Is that something MediaPortal can do? As to the number of movies - I pretty much watch all my entertainment using the HTPC nowadays. I rarely use a DVD player or CD player anymore. | |

Country: | Hi alex, Quote:
 Just hit F3 / YELLOW BUTTON while highlighting the file / movie. On the left side you have the menu "View". Changing it to anything else than "Movies" (eg. titles / genres) you will get a look of your database entries. You can even define your own views in the Setup->Movies->Views. HTH, Flip. | |
