A few wishes

Legacy 2nd gen Apple TV
1
  1.  The cover display has 3 forms. It would be nice if one could select the default (I like the 3rd the most because of the big cover) or that it became a sticky setting meaning that MP remembers the previous setting and defaults to that.

 

  1.  Also nice would be if one could select folders within the device/share. I use a TimeCapsule and it always contains stuff containing no movies. Now one has to skip all these before reaching the one of interest.

As an example: not it is /TimeCapsule and nice would be if /TimeCapsule/AllerhandeFiles/BlaBla/Movies would appear in My Files.

 

  1.  (completely different and off-topic). I would love to use MediaPlayer on my MacMini and could replace Xbmc (way too much overhead, all I want is to play a movie and see the cover) there. Front Row/Mirow is no option since not working in 10.7 anymore.

Are you referring to the watched view (All, Watched, Unwatched)?

This can be done by setting up a ‘Favorite’. Favorites will be listed in the main menu, so you won’t even have to go into My Files.

I’ll pass along the suggestion, but for now we’re mainly focused on the AppleTV.

Neither. I mean the left part where the Movie information is (as opposed to right the list of movies). With the L/R buttons one sees 3 types of information. I am mostly interested to show the cover as big as possible which is the 3rd choice.

 

I am going to check out the Favorites, thanks for the tip.
