    Hi,

    Is it possible to play videos in the pictures section in MP2. I know it is possible in MP1, but cannot seem to find it in MP2.

    I'm running the build from 16-01-2016.

    Hope someone can help.

    You can play videos in the "video" section. It's not possible in the "image" section.

    If you want to play videos from your digicam and/or smartphone that are stored between pictures you can (should) use the "Browse media" section. Here you can play all kinds of media, no matter if it is video, music or image... You even can ad different types to the same playlist here...

    Edit:
    To do so you need to add both, video and image to the media source when you create it. If you missed this during creation you later can modify the media source in settings too.

    As @ge2301 correctly sayed, image section is for images only. Same is for videos section. It is for videos only... But "browse media" is universal...

    Thank you very much. I will add the video to the media source and get it to work this way around.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...
