Are you on Xbox? If so plug in a game pad, goto adult or clips, click in the right stick and select the view types menu, where you should be able to select/deselect various views.

on PC u can just press "s" to get the same menu, and if your on xbox but don't have a game pad handy... I think you're doomed Confused

oh, for an edit button,

anyway, sorry I just checked this and actually it's a no-go, Showcase view just isn't available in clips or adult. Best post a feature request although I doubt you'll be the first.

I think essentially what you want is showcase view for files (as opposed to library)?

I think I figured out a way for you to get this, it works fine for me but it only works under file mode obviously (because the once you switch to library it's all the same) This just turns the Adult section into another Movies section but with a link to the adult path that you set in the options.

I use this to have MOVIES (my DivX files) and HIGH DEF (my MKV files) linked straight from the home screen and can have different views in both (DivX = wall and MKV = Showcase) Haven't encountered any problems thus far

I opened up the homescrollers.xml file with wordpad and changed

Code:
<item id="12">
                <description>My Videos</description>
                <label>ADULT</label>
                <onclick>Skin.SetBool(videoadult)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videomovies)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videoclips)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videomusic)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videotv)</onclick>
                <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoFiles,$INFO[Skin.String(adultpath)])</onclick>
                <visible>Skin.HasSetting(adult)</visible>
            </item>

to

Code:
<item id="12">
                <label>HIGH DEF</label>
                <onclick>Skin.SetBool(videomovies)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videotv)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videoclips)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videomusic)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videoadult)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(gametrailers)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(movietrailers)</onclick>
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoFiles,$INFO[Skin.String(adultpath)])</onclick>
                <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(nomovies) + !Skin.HasSetting(movielibrary)</visible>
            </item>
            <item id="12">
                <label>HIGH DEF</label>
                <onclick>Skin.SetBool(videomovies)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videotv)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videoclips)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videomusic)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(videoadult)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(gametrailers)</onclick>
                <onclick>Skin.Reset(movietrailers)</onclick>
            <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,movietitles)</onclick>
                <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(nomovies) + Skin.HasSetting(movielibrary)</visible>
            </item>

Hope it works for you

That's strange...I'm using XBMC PC Atlantis and the newest build (14) of Aeon. This should be pretty universal though.

Are you sure you set the "adult" path correctly in the Aeon settings?
