By folder view has now been updated for the Movie section, the By Folder section can now also be added to the Navigation Bar instead of being tucked away in the More section 
Please test and report any bugs.
Bingo!!! Â Tired it and it works! Â NOTE: edited MovieSectionTopLevel.xml to make ByFolder the default and that works, BUT if you uncheck (in settings) Unwatched, then the default becomes the next item in the xml file ie Collections. Â To work around this I re-edited the xml changing the navigation current index to "2" vs "3" and ByFolder again is the default even though its labeled as navigationItem 3.
Many thanks Roidy, been looking for this for some time now. :D
Have noticed an oddity with the By Folder view. Â The movie thumbnails are noticeably smaller vs their display in All Movies for example. Â Can this be addressed/fixed?
My bad Fixed now.
Which is fixed, the smaller thumbs or item numbering for default view in MovieSection Top Level?
Small thumbs, what exactly is the issue with âitem numbering for default view in MovieSection Top Levelâ
I guess this really does't go by id, but by the real position in the nav bar. When hiding entries, the numbering scheme gets messed up, thus making this manual change to default to "By Folder" (or any other section) somewhat unreliable...
Yes currentIndex is an integer with 0 being the left most navbar item and is in no way related to the id of each navbar item.

Yup, I figured that might be the case which why I picked #2 since the first two showing were All Movies (0) and On Deck (1). Once you know what its doing its simple to edit the file.
I'm not really sure how the Home Video template is planned to evolve (or plexconnect UI in general), but may I kindly request in the current layout that "By Year" have similar option to the By Folder along the navbar. Â I've been playing around with setting up my home movies as either series or personal movies in PMS and there are pros and cons with each--but there are a few annoying things with series scanner and PMS that I think I will use personal movies. Â However, what this means in plexconnect is that anything in "By More" filters is gone from navbar and the "more" is missing from preplay screen, and means I cannot filter by year. Â I CAN mostly approximate this with By Folder, but not completely, and I also personally don't like looking at empty folder icons to browse a library. Â I realize everyone has their own preferences, but is it possible to have more filters configurable in settings to show/hide along the navbar like before?
Sure, not a problem, I can add âBy Yearâ in
Hi,
I just updated to github commit ecea203ee2, March 25th. It's been awhile since I updated because everything is working great. Not really sure why I updated now.
I noticed that the By Folder view is broken. The folder name is not listed under the folder icon until I highlight a specific folder. This is not very useful, as I need to guess where the folder is that I want select, verify that it is the one I want and if not continue searching. :-( Is it possible to revert the By Folder view to display folder name underneath the folder icon?
Thanks for all the effort and work you guys put into this project. It's much appreciated.
Regards.
I think this is just the fact that you can now select when to display poster titles. If you go to settings > home movie option > and change poster titles to show all
Thanks drewbie, that fixed the issue.

This is all done on the ATV. Enter Plexconnect, then click Settings, arrow down to "Home Movie Options", select and then change "Poster titles" to "Show all" instead of "Highlighted Only".
Enjoy.

got it, thnx, super
In my "Home Movies" selection how can I use my folder.jpg to display on the group of videos I have in a folder? Specifically I have a collection of movie extras that I want to group in a folder for that movie. Then viewing by folder (to group the collections) I would like that movie poster to display on the list of folders to make it easier for my kids to navigate (since the youngest can't read yet). If there is a better way to do it then what I am trying I am happy to change my method. When I show home movies in poster view mode it is just the default gray folder icon with no way to edit the display. So if you can't do this yet then I'm putting in a plug for a feature request. I notice this same request in this thread a few months back.
Not sure if I understand it correctly... but I think a smilier thing has been done in one of the new "theme" modifications. Those guys changed the look of the Movie folder, but I guess modifying the Home Movies should be pretty similar.

I think @senigami is talking about the generic folder icon which is displayed when viewing the Home Movies grid in "By Folder" view. I have been wondering if there is a way to override that icon also. For example, I have a bunch of kids shows sorted into folders on my server. I have created a home movies library called Kids Shows. The default view for this library is "By Folder". When I select it, there is a grid of generic folder icons with the name of the sub-folder under it. I've always wondered if there something (like a file folder.jpg) that I can placed in the sub-folder which would make plex display the folder.jpg as the icon instead of the plain old generic icon.
I had a look at HomeVideoByFolder.xml and see lines like:
{{URL(:/thumbnails/Folder.png)}}
resource://Poster.png
May it's as simple as placing a file named Poster.png or Folder.png in the sub-folder of the TV Show.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
