Hello, I am currently running XBMC 13.2, Transparency! 6.0.7 on a Mac Mini running OS 10.8.5.
I've been using XBMC for years and have always used Transparency. I don't know how many versions ago this changed…. but while in the TV shows I used to be able to toggle a Library menu item (left side of screen) that allowed me to view my TV shows as filenames. I have files that don't necessarily map to TV show episodes and disabling the library mode allowed me to navigate the directories and file names wonderfully using the Fanart view. I use slide view for my Movies and prefer to view them in Library mode.
I don't see the Library menu item any longer that I used to toggle library mode on and off. It now seems to force me to use library mode for my TV shows and I don't want that. Is this change in behavior due to the current version or because I changed something in the skin settings? It has been this way for some time and I can work around it but my wife and son can never figure it out.
Currently my work around is I can select the .. at the top of the TV Show list, then hit the Menu button on my remote and select the Files menu item. Then I navigate my directories and file names to select the show I want to watch. Once I exit to the main menu I need to repeat those steps next time I am in TV Shows to view my files by filename vs library mode again. I really miss simply toggling Library mode on/off from the menu that pops out of the left side of the screen.
I hope this makes sense. I have searched the threads as a guest and couldn't find the solution. If I need to modify a .xml file that is fine, just tell me where to find it and what change I need to make please. I always want to view my TV Shows by directory/filename.
