2 questions

[nrj0122]

I'm using xlobby with the simplicity skin.

1. How do I alter the number of cover images that show up on my tv screen when browsing through my collection for music or movies, for example. (I had it showing 3 at a time, now I must of altered a setting and is showing like 20 per page, but dont know how I did that).


2. Under my movies tab/page, all my movies show up in alphabetical order, but I have so many on my HD now that I really need to categorize them by Comedy, Action, Drama, etc. Do I have to do this on my HD that xlobby is taking all my movies from (database), or is there a way within xlobby itself I can create these category buttons, and then drop my movies accordingly into those sections.

(I hope I can do it somehow through xlobby, as I have 2 internal HD's that xlobby is pulling my movies from. So if I had to make Category folders on my HD, I would have to make 2 for each section (2 comedy folders, 2 action folders) 1 would be on each HD, as I have a variety of movie types on each HD.) If worse case senario- I would have to move, say-all my comedy and action movies onto HD #1, and drama and horror onto HD #2, but that would be a lot of transferring, huge amount of info, each HD has about 250GB worth of data on it right now.


thanks for any help.

nrj0122,


Your first question, about the number of images that show up.....you will have to use the skin editor (pause/break key) and select the category tab. Make sure you have the category screen selected. Chage the columns to whatever you want.

As far as your movies, You can do a search, then filter by genre. This will show only the category that you have selected.

Hope this helps!

As for the 1st question, I believe you can use pgup/pgdn to increase/decrease number of columns inside a category.
