Couple questions on viewing movie

Post by dtsig »

Just starting to use MM for movies and have a couple of questions ...

1) I would like to have the movie panel at the top of the 'now playing' section instead of at the bottom. Easier viewing
2) Is it possible to separate the movie viewing panel from MM and just have the panel play?

1) The Art & Details window can be moved. Right click on it to enable the Titlebar and drag & drop it to move it around.
2) There are 3 viewing modes available and you can also undock the panel by dragging it out of the interface.

Almost *really cool*. I am probably doing something wrong but here is what I am seeing.

1) Right click and select "Show Title Bar" and the Title bar shows up.
2) Left Click and hold on Title bar and the *drag* pointer shows.
3) Drag to the top, trying to put it above "Now Playing" list. When I let it goes it just drops down to the bottom again.

I can put it on top of the "list" of films .. but on top .. not above.
I can put it at the top or bottom of the Tree view on the left.

Oh wow ... the above was written while i was playing with it. Then all of sudden, while playing with it on the 'tree' section, top & bottom, the viewer took over the whole top. Then playing a bit more I grabbed the title bar (now on the left) and dragged it over to the Now Playing section. It dropped to the bottom and I dragged it to the top and it took. WOW .. how wierd.

As for dragging the player off MM, that does work ... BUT, if I try to minimize MM it disappears. I can almost understand that but ... if I simply put another window on top of MM, anywhere on top .. the player window disappears.

I will keep playing with it but looks like that isn't changing.

The window is part of the main window so even if it is undocked it works in unison with the main window.

But to disappear when even part of the main window is covered .. not good behavior.

But will learn to live with it like it is or use different player.

Thanks

That seems unexpected. I can reproduce and have entered a bug for it: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=10600
