No Items To Display (1 Viewer)

[Dustin Moore]

Very new to Media Portal. Ive used WMC religiously on Windows 7 though. When trying to browse through my media, it simply says "no items to display" when selecting to view cover art or by list. Ive imported my local folders to scan already.

UPDATE: Im seeing a list in list view or icons of folders when in "Cover" mode. Shouldnt I be seeing rows of movie or music covers?

Hello,

Which version are you using? Also, please upload logs.

UPDATE: Im seeing a list in list view or icons of folders when in "Cover" mode. Shouldn't I be seeing rows of movie or music covers? When I go to the movies section, I see a quick flash of Batman in the background for the background poster then it disappears and then I see just folder icons that show how many movies I have in each Genre.

View modes can/should be changed to display lists, grid or cover views. Every level has its own view and can be set independently.

Thank you for the immediate help, I see now that you have to choose for every screen. One question still: When I choose the "Movie" selection, it brings me to the Genre screen.

Hi.
As long as you haven't select a filter for displaying movies the movie section is set to "genres" view. Personally I don't like and use genres, but the majority of users prefer to filter their movies by genre. That's why genre is the default filter on first view. You need to adjust the filter to your like one time and MP2 remember it forever...
I think the "Show ALL" filter as default would lead to much less confusion (as all movies are visible at first look), but it's not me to decide this...

Thanks Lehmden, that would make sense. Dumb question, where is the darned filter setting?

Found it.
