changing the defaults for media browsing

[rperre]

Is there a way that i can set the options for video media browsing.

I have some home videos which are tagged as such, i do not want those to show up regularly, just when i select the home video option (or filter). Normally all media is shown (makes sense), but i wish to leave these out for "normal" use.

So instead of showing ALL under genre, can i make a selection and save this as the new default?

Not at present. I looked into this roughly a year ago, and found that entire section of code a bit opaque. I will revisit it at some point.

In case you do not use the private option atm, why not set them up as private (as a work around)

private is an option, thanks

ok, one more question about this. how do i move public video to private?

Seems that i probably have to move the files manually, can that be done outside lmce (through kde maybe) or does it have to be done through webadmin?

If you do it outside of LinuxMCE UpdateMedia will have to search for them again. If you move the id3 file with your movie file, it SHOULD find the information again. I'd try one, and see what happens.

Richard,

I would definitely recommend copying both the media file and its associated id3 file together as posde suggests above. You can do his from KDE or from the console (in each case sudo yourself first).

All the best

ok, tried copying, but the movies are still availabe to play for public (yes made sure my username was not selected),

I moved them to a harddrive in /user_1/data/videos assuming this would be private, am i wrong?

rperre, i'm getting the same thing looks like bug is still there.  I've copied dvd's to specific user folders (like FamilyGuy) on my nas so when I go to view that media it should prompt me for a pin, but it still shows for all of my users.

Just moving will not help. Make it also private. It is related to user and group.

[tschak909]

Actually no, if you actually look at the code, it's not. the unix user and group make no difference except to the underlying samba for copying things. Pluto proper does not use it at all.

I just told about my humble experience. It happened to me, that files supposed to be private showed in the public list.
I corrected it by assigning the right user and group (pluto_user:pluto_user) where user is the users name.
