In an old version of the tvseries plugin, you could quickly change views by pressing left/right on the facade. We removed this functionality from the plugin so skins could have control of what happens when the user does these actions. In StreamedMP we show a hidden menu with options.
To answer your question, there is no quicker way, other than invoking the view menu.
oh, that's what i thought. is there anyway that the plugin can allow for changing between views via a button (by typing some number in <ondown>). So in filmstrip view, up would take you to the menu and down would change views.
really minor thing. if its a hassle dont bother.
