Hey all,

I'm a longtime XBMC user but first time Alaska user. If these questions iare too basic and there's some sort of FAQ or manual, can someone point me to it?

1. I can't seem to change the viewtype in my Music library. It's in Library mode, but it's stick in FILES viewtype. I can change the viewtypes for TV Shows and Movies with no problem. Order by name and ascending are greyed out, if that helps.

After some intense random clicking, I was able to change viewtype on albums but not on artists. Am I missing something?

2. What is the keyboard-equivalent of a right click for contextual menus? In Confluence I just hit the INFO button on my remote but that's not working with Alaska

1. Depending which view you're using you can open the view menu by pressing "up" or "left".

2. You should try "m" / "c" or the context key on you keyboard (Windows Context for example)

In music view you need to add Media to your Library first.
