Views, Filters accessibility (1 Viewer)

AW: Re: Views, Filters accessibility

That would require another skin page - and I am not sure, how much sense that would make.
If you're trying to make it really easy, I would suggest you define a profile for each selection you want to offer (they all can base on same DB) - and let your mother in law just let select from those. Each profile can have whatever you want, like view, filter, etc.

Then assigning remote button to "profile selection" would offer a list of whatever you have defined/configured, like
- "western movies"
- "All movies with Heinz Rühmann"
. ...

How do you assign a remote button to "profile selection" ?
I dont see any ID's to be mapped concerning MyFilms in Windows - MediaPortal Wiki

Happy new year

Hi mbb,
happy new year 4u2
Re button assignment: No, that would have to be implemented to be handled in MyFilms.
But you might check, if Issue 88 might be a good solution - this would always return to configs you can define when you return - so assigning different Views to different configs would make those accessible - and the menu to choose them will always show up, when you go back.

Happy New Year mbb!
You are correct, MediaPortal does not provide the option to configure remotes for plugin windows (let alone configs/profiles), only MP windows. It is a request I have often heard/read. However, if the Config menu Guzzi mentioned doesn't meet your needs, you might check out:

1. Generic Keyboard Remote Input Plugin (KeyboardInputPlugin)
2. in My Films 5.2 you can use Hyperlink Parameters on Basic Home screens to open MyFilms to a specific view/config.

Hi mbb,
I just tested your config/catalog here on my test environment and it works fine and imho as expected - I can select the custom views, you created and get the persons (and related movies) displayed.
You have V5.2.0.1755 - it is possible, that there had been applied fixes after that - so you could test a current version (PM) or wait for public 5.2 version...

I did some more tests with version 5.2.0.1851. but still the same problem.

The result is : "Always display menu" works well with all views (actor, year, ...) until there are more than 1 value in Default Value

I tried to cheat by creating a view actors without default values and add a filter "like in" with the list of my favourite actors but ...

I obtained the list of all actors present in the same films than my favourite actors

Yes, the multiple values are only supported in the userdefined views definitions.

The approach is right - create a userdefined view - but add the actors commaseparated in the value field.

Ah, ok, what you'd like to have is the actorlist you defined - not the movies they're in!? Not sure if it is currently possible that way - but I am currently reworking the navigation and after that it should ... might take some days, as there is other things added and reworked too. You'll have better and more intuitive ways to brwose your catalog ...

I want a view/filter showing only the films containing a word in the source field. That's because I have a folder "screeners" in two different disks.
I tried creating a view with the field source and the param screeners, but it hasn't any results. Looks like the param must be exact.
Any ideas?

PS: I don't want to create another config

Hi z3us, can you try '*screeners*' and tell me, if it works?

 

[z3us]

I did, but no success.
I'll try again later

z3us - I'm curious - did you try adding 'Screener' to the Category field (or the extended field 'Tags' in 5.2)? I haven't tried it, but I think you should be able to do that using AMCU updates tab? Then you can not only define a filter on the Category field, but you could even find all Screeners in the Category view.

I know, but I wanted this more automatic

Yeah, and it should work - that's the sense of those filters. There will be some improvements with upcoming release, allowing you more flexible filters per userdefined view ...
