Storage View

Question

What happened to the Storage HDD view from previous versions of My Films?  How do I display only the films on my HDD?

Answer

My Films 5.x supports a new feature for media availability.  It will search all your movie files or paths and determine if your movie file is available for playback.  You can

1. enable this by default on the General Tab in My Films setup, under 'Scan media on start'.  However, on large catalogs this may take a few seconds so it is not enabled by default.
2. run a Global Update > Update online availability at any time.

Once My Films has verified media availability using either of the above methods, you can use a global filter to 'Show only films with media available'. The filter is much better than a view because it applies to all views and searches as well.
