User Interface Options

[lmeyer]

I am a new user of Sage. I'm using the HD200 primarily for playback of ripped DVDs in .iso format. I have gotten the HD200 to see my DVDs on my shared drive . Playback is okay (image quality is decent but not great, there are some stutters in the playback). I think that I will get HD200s for my additional TVs.

One thing I am not thrilled with is the UI for selecting DVDs. I will have several hundred DVDs to choose from. Is there a way to change the display to show more titles per page? Is there a way to sort the display in different orders on the fly (i.e. by rating or by category (children's, comedy, drama, etc))? I will move away from standalone if going to a Sage Server will enhance the UI, I just haven't found my options.

The Options menu on the file lists (2 crossed wrenches) should allow you to set the number of rows (File Browser submenu) or the number of rows / columns (Video submenu).

The Filesystem Browser allows asc & desc sort by Name, Size, Date, and Type. The Video browser just has a search function but no sorting that I can see.

I am using SageMC 16x9 theme, which allows genres to be attached to imported videos (which would allow drilldown by genre). I am not sure if that is available in the stock SageUI or not.
