Configure for only Movies (1 Viewer)

[dfwjr1973]

I have a collection of videos that I just want a nice front end for. I was using My Movies for WMC until win 10.

I have happily recently found Mediaportal and am very happy with it.

I have searched but haven't found the final thing I am looking for and haven't been able to sort it out.

I only want to use it to watch my collection of movies. I have successfully added them to the database and they properly show up and play. But I don't care about using mediaportal to look at pictures, read the news, listen to music, etc...

Is there a way to set it up to just show videos as soon as mediaportal is started or to remove all the other home tiles that I don't want? And is there a way to show all the videos not in a flow in a row at the bottom but as a grid?

Thanks

Try Disable all plugins (instead MyVideo), set for MyVideo Displays the plugin on the Classic Home screen. https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Plugin+Config
Switch to Classic Home screen: https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wi...Configuration+GUI#ConfigurationGUI-HomeScreen
And check Show last active module when starting/resuming from standby - https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Startup+and+Resume+Settings

Change MyVideo layout to Icon, BigIcon, Filmstrip or Coverflow - https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Layouts

It may perhaps be a perfect candidate to the WMC skin in MP2 if you want something that emulates what you came from.?
