[QUOTE="Requiem, post: 1015843, member: 117808"] Hi folks, Mediaportal is great, but when it comes to music views, there are some options (IMHO) missing. Right now, there is an option to have your music database in different locations (on your local HTPC, on a NAS etc) and this will integrete neatly with MP music views. But if you want to have multiple root folders with different views, there actually is no option to realize that. Personally, I do not only own music audio files (e.g. audiobook), and even the music files are sorted in a way I like it for myself (in directories). E.g. I have - Music -- Single Tracks -- Motion Picture Soundtracks -- Compilations -- Albums -- Children -- Classical - Audiobooks - Comedy I can use this when I use the directory view, but this is really slow, even on Gbit-Ethernet. I imagine that there's not much to add but an option to "Treat folder as a root folder" in the MP config and have this added to the music database. Eventually you could also edit your view defaults for each root directory to be able to have an albumartist on folder 1, another view on folder 2 (especially useful for classic music)... Hope you get my point :-) [/QUOTE]
