[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1265340, member: 109222"] Hi. For TV recordings, I also can't see any advantage in using folder view, but there are some scenarios where the folder view is better than the library view. Definitely not in series or movies but I always preferred the folder view for Images and "other" videos. Images I have sorted in such a way that I can find anything I'm looking for in no time. For "image library view" I would need to do tons of work with adding genres and such and still can't reflect the proper structure I have with sorting my images in file system. I'm used to this structure since decades, long before any HTPC tools like MP or Kodi or so exists. I don't want to transfer this with month of work into something that can't be even close to what I was used to since eternity... On "other" videos (means no series and no movies) I also can not get the view I like when using library view without extra work. I have created fanart and poster images for all videos (to be precise, Media-Buddy has done this for me) and have them sorted in a way that it looks similar to the "series" library view when I'm browsing the "other" videos in folder view. I have sub- folders for the different types of videos I have (local stuff, home movies, nature, music,...) Inside those "series- alike" sub- folders I have a view of all videos belonging to this type with poster and fanart. Opposite to images it is possible to reflect exactly this in library view. I need to tag all videos with different genres named after the folders. This is doing the trick but it needs more work than the folder view. For images I can't get the view I want in library view at all and in "other" videos I prefer folder view as it needs less work to get things as I like... So yes, ever since the beginning of MP2 I've used "folder view" in some areas and I still prefer "folder view" in those areas today... [/QUOTE]
