    Hi Guys
    Anyone have a way of resetting the default filters in the 'Movie Manager' tab (the ... menu is missing a couple)?

    Hi Guys

    Under GUI Settings you have "Modify Filter Menu" button. There is no "reset" though that I know of, but you could backup your movingpictures.db3 database, and fire up a fresh copy and then extract the SQL table info needed on the filters, but might be easier to just manually re-add the filters you seek because that way you can ensure they do what you prefer by tweaking them slightly.

    PS: If you use the "Define Movie Categories" button there is an "Edit Filter" for each category as well, and you can launch Moving-Pictures in category view mode, which is what I run mine at, so I have entries such as "Sci-Fi movies with 7+ rating" that have the corresponding filter settings on Genre and movie-score, or "Blockbusters" which looks for "Popularity" + "is greater than" + 1,000,000.

    That sounds like a pain just for a couple of simple filters - I'll recreate the ones I'm missing as you said - Thanks :)
    I too have a couple of custom filters - I have one that filters 'Partially Watched' on to a tile in the skin so I can go back to a movie when (inevitably) something interrupts my viewing pleasure!

    The only Filter I use is switching between All/Unwatched, the rest are all category based, which obviously also use filters, but I don't use F9->Filters, I just navigate through my collection categories that I painstakingly created.

    Got so many of them that some go 3-levels deep where the filters have like 7 entries.

    They are easy to make, and only had to do it once. But that is why I've got like 5 backups of movingpictures.db3, because hell to the NO on wanting to redo ~10 years of tweaking :cool:

    Yeah - I could see that being a complete PITA to redo!
    Mine's fairly simple:
    For the movies /movies/Movie name (YEAR)/Movie name (year) [edition].ext
    For the TV series /series name (year if applicable)/season xx/ series - SxxExx - title.ext
    The filters are all pretty much all I need...

    Would like this though: Suggested Plugin

    So not 100% sure if this is a MyTVSeries or FanArt issue, but the episode thumbnails always revert to the series default after restart. If you go to an episode and open the options and pick choose artwork then choose episode thumbnail it shows the correct thumbnail and says it is remote. Click on it and it goes local instantly and...

    Yes, unfortunately, this would need a code change to support it. Next time I'm doing something on the plugin I'll try and remember to add support for this sort order.
