Hi there,
I've got a problem, since I updated to the actually nightly on my aTV2: When I got into "Videos", I see a window with "Movies", "TV-Shows", "Last added..." and so on. If I open the menu (left panel) and click on "Filemode", there happens nothing. It seems like the filemode will start, but there comes just the library mode, too.
Any idea?

filemode is gone and won't be coming back.
instead, your files are now listed at the root of the videolibrary.

Who's the egomaniac dictator that arbitrarily decided to kill this long standing staple feature.
Without filemode We're stuck with 'pain in the but' library mode. Bring it back or at least give us an enable/disable filemode.
When Eden goes public without filemode your gonna find a lot of surprised and upset xbmc users.

it has been talked about for months if not years. why don't you reserve judgement and try it first before you start whining. you can still add files like you could before.

Halo
I was just about to buy the ATV2 to installe XBMC until i saw this. I’m asking just to be sure.
All my movies are on a server where I have two folders, one with adult content and the second is children content.
It is very important for me that it is possible just to enter one folder at the time and don’t mix the movie from the two folders. Now that you have removed filemode, is my wish possible?
The last question: all my movies are ripped to TS_folders, will this be a problem?

If you use library mode and smart playlists you can actually do a sort of filter for content of a certain rating. The filter can even do something like ignoring all files in a certain folder, and I believe that will still work even without file mode.
Remember, XBMC supports multiple profiles and even password protection on profiles (also preventing some profiles from making changes to their own profile). That plus smart playlists make for some pretty reliable parental controls
