How do I best manage multiple pages of video items?
Hi,
I have now a nice collection of media items. The 'menu" structure has basicaly three levels:
MAIN Menu ==> Basic Selection => MULTIPLE pages of video items.
Here is what i woudl LOVE to do:
#1 have the ability to TRIGGER (pull) the next page of video item by just using the APPLE-REMOTE (click to RIGHT).
#2 Do the same when going HIGHER within the menu structure.
#3 The ability to CUT the spagetti-tracking when navigating ... and just start "fresh" e.g. when I select to jump from page 10 of my video items to BASIC SELECTION (Level 2). all previous moves within the video-item pages are "forgotten"
NOTE: right now PLEX memorizes my navigation through the system ... this is nice ... but in my case I create a LONG string ... and I am afraid that this will create other problems down the road.
Q: What system / triggers can I use to come close to my wishlist?
Thanks again for the wonderful support I got here.
The only way you can navigate into a directory is by pressing Enter, or Play on the Apple remote. Other directional buttons (like Right) are used for other things within Plex - you won’t ever be able to assign custom actions to these keys.
There are two attributes you can set on the MediaContainer that’ll help with the directory history though - noHistory and replaceParent. The noHistory attribute means that the container won’t be added to the history stack. The replaceParent attribute means that the container you’re creating will be added to the history stack, but the previous container will be removed. Using these attributes you can manage the stack & easily provide a way of skipping back through multiple pages.
