More help with .nfo Imports (1 Viewer)

[smarty12345]

Well, all the nfo stuff works now that I understand it a bit better. And I like the Windows 10 skin. But there are still too many things missing for me to swith to MP2..
I don't like the way all seasons of a show are just lumped into one long list, or that there is no displayed age rating in movies, or easily accessible movie data.
And even exiting a movie and going back to its a pain. In MP1 I could use "esc" to come out of what was playing and just press "x" to go back. Despite reading the wiki I could find no useful info on keyboard shortcuts beyond "shift+c" to get movie info. It seems that maybe MP2 is designed more with mapping of keys to remotes, but I use a keyboard for everything.
in MP1 I could remove unwanted menu items too, like images and music as I dont use those. I could find no way to do that in MP2. (the top menu bar I mean).

You can modifiy or remove group buttons also in MP2. Check the wiki for BlueVision skin.
WMC skin has an inbuilt menu editor.

Regarding navigation I have to agree partly. I really hope to change current behavior, especially when pressing esc in Fullscreen. Many user have mentioned same already. I'll see what I can do skinwise.

This is only because you have set it to show all episodes. Just use "Filter by season" and you will have, what you want.

This is a MP2 thread, those plugins are no available for MP2.

yes, the navigation is something I don't think the wife would get on with at all. It doesn't feel too intuitve at the moment. It would be nice to see the basic media info at the bottom of the screen when an item is selected too... eg: 720p/1080p, stereo/5.1/7.1 and especially age rating.
Plus a security lock. I have kids and so I intend to use the lock to hide older age group content once they are old enough to use the software on their own. I know I can do that in MP1, but don't see it mentioned for MP2.

This is part of the details screens, in which you can find addtional information about aspect ratio, resolution, actors, directors, audio tracks, subtitle tracks, ... For me those don't belong all in the basic view, because they overload a screen and mostly you don't check them (E.g. Do you decide to watch a movie based on resolution?)

Age rating logos will come! Also an user management is planned. Currently a temporal solution is added, but I really hope, that this is extended, because many people requested this already. A HTPC is a family machine in most cases and to make MP2 ready, there must be a way to protect kinds from rated content. @HTPCSourcer I think user managment should be a focus point in future.
