[QUOTE="fforde, post: 628624, member: 52082"] Sorry Henrik, this is not possible without recompiling the code and making a signifigant number of modifications in the process. And for this to seamlessly work without any user complications some changes would need to be made to MediaPortal itself. The changes have actually already been coded and submitted to the MediaPortal guys as a patch but it will probably not go in until after MediaPortal 1.1 Final. What you could do though is setup a custom menu category for your concerts and filter out concerts from all your other categories. If you are using Moving Pictures 1.0 the movies menu is completely customizable. Sorry there is not a good guide for this yet, I was planning on putting together a guide today actually but ended up spending all Saturday with family. :P It is [I]hopefully[/I] fairly strait forward though, to get started go into the Config, click the GUI Settings tab and then click the "Define Movie Categories" button. Briefly what you will want to do is: [LIST=1] [*]Add your concerts folder as a separate import path. (If you change your mind about this approach later, just remove this and all related videos will be removed from Moving Pictures). [*]Open the "Defien Movie Categories" window. [*]Add a new menu item at the top level named "Concerts". [*]Highlight the new category and click "Add Filter" on the right. [*]Create a filter for this category that will cause only concerts to show up. Probably the easiest would be something like "Full path starts with ..." [*]Add a filter to all other top level categories to [B]exclude[/B] concerts. Something like "Full path doesn't start with..." [/LIST] I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
