Favorites is a plug-in by ebr that creates a new top-level folder in your Media Browser library into which you can dynamically add items you would like to view together at some point in time. This could be used to mark some new movies you have acquired that you want to watch over a few days or maybe current TV series you are watching or…
Another possible use-case could be the following: You have some friends over and want to decide what to watch. You can go through your library looking at different items and “Add to Favorites” each one that the group has some interest in. Then, you can go to the Favorites folder and look through just those items you selected to narrow it down to the one you will watch.
Configuration options
After you've downloaded and installed the plugin, there are a few things you can configure. No configuration is required though.
On the Plugins tab, highlight the Favorites plugin and click the Configure button. A new window will appear.
- Menu Name – You can enter an alternative name for this Plugin. This name is reflected on the EHS.
- Location – This is the location where “Favorite” items are stored. This can be changed. For example, this can be a network location so you can share Favorites between Media Browser systems in your household. Do not change this unless you know what you're doing.
