    Started on: ?
    last update: ?

    Summary:
    Make the "album view" more available.
    EDIT: Seems that in wiki, the viewtype is referred to as "big icons list" (see the music section).

    Area:
    (My) Movies/Pictures/TV/Radio - MP general

    Description:
    I love the album view! I use it for music this way: Artist [album view] - Album [Album view] - Song [list-view]. This because I prefer to scroll up/down only. For this reason I would love to have this view available for (my) movies as well.

    Would look like this:
    [ (IMDB picture) - (Movie name) ]


    As I am rather helpless myself, I would just like to say :D to whoever fulfills my wish!


    EDIT: Poll added (over 7 months after first posting this)

    *UPDATE*

    Talked to Frodo @ IRC and he thought it was "a good idea indeed" (his words).

    Anybody who can make this happen? For Movies and Radio?

    OK - seems like me (and Frodo?) are the only ones that thinks this is a good idea.

    Since this is an option for (my) music, this shoul not be to hard to include in other sections, I would think (copy 'n paste work?).

    Any way I could give it a try myself? If so, any tip for what I should look into?

    I remember making this an option in (my) music (my request) was easy to do (that is what I got told by who ever did this and added it to SVN a long time ago).

    i am also a big fan of the album view. don´t have a movie collection, but I think it should be a general option for all areas

    This view indeed should be helpful for those parents with children who could only choose movies by the album cover.

    OK... since a new version is coming up, I am *bump*-ing me request.

    Also asked Koudijs in another tread if he could look into this.

    Imagine:

    Radio:
    [Radio logo] ---------- [Radio name]

    Picture:
    [Folder thumb] ------- [Folder name]

    Movies:
    [IMDB cover] --------- [Movie name]

    Great Idea....wish I was a programmer!

    Just wanted to add, that this is a great idea.

    It would also be just fabulous if this view was available for the My Films plugin.

    I assume its just a matter of referencing the MP code?
    Great if someone could attempt this one.

    [It would also be helpful to have a LIST view with larger thumbs...or perhaps similar to the all-music website, when you highlight an item in list view, it expands with a larger thumb]

    Gonna try a *bumb* here to see if any programmers like this idea, and can get it implemented in MP (it is already there - but only in My Music!!!)

    A little update: Seems that in wiki, the viewtype is referred to as "big icons list" (see the music section).
    Although it is still called "Album view" in config....:confused:
