[QUOTE="Dutchie388, post: 416631, member: 91351"] Thank you both for your feedback, it helped a lot and i'm very close to having that working but after a couple of days experimenting i still have one hic-up. As a test, if i tell the <Series.Genre> to use the 'actors' field for eg. (<Series.Actors>) , the Genre will list by whats in the Actors field. However, if i create a new field in the Online _Series like 'mygenre' it will show up in TV SERIES, but if i try and use that it will always come up an "NO ITEMS!" in media portal. I've tried renaming existing fields like the actors or genre field to mygenre and point to that, but again "NO ITEMS!" message, and it re-creates the renamed fields at the end of the table, and produces some weird structure behaviour. The reason i tried renaming is that when i add a new field to the Online_series with SQLitestudio the data type options were 'NONE' 'INT' and several others but not 'STRING' or blank like the originals were, so i thought the problem was related to that - that the new data field i create in Online_Series is not proper for Views Table to use. I went back to fresh media portal 1.01 install using the standard skin adding a couple of fresh programs imports things simple to try it all out. I'd like to make this work, to catagorize my types of shows rather than one large list of them all, but if i'm being a bit anal about that I'll drop it as being a no go. cheers [/QUOTE]
